After Friday I was feeling a little rough on Saturday, and most of the morning was spent recovering to be honest.
I had a great start at Goodwood with a gamble landed as Bet Alchemist tipped Hoof it at 22/1. There were losers in the race from Ben Linfoot, and Northern Monkey, but overall a winning race for me. In race 2 I also had the winner, with Dai Harraild, who won at 9/2, as well as the 3rd place horse, Move Up, tipped each way by Horse Trader.
The main race was the Stewards Cup, where I was loaded up with bets, including an each way double given by Northern Monkey on Take Cover at 10/1, and Growl at 14/1. I was also on Dancing Star and Orions Bow (At big antepost prices). The only thing that could have worked out better was if Growl had won, as my horses filled 5 of the first 6 places, to earn me yet more profits. Growl had a shocker of a draw, and was so unlucky, finishing very strongly for a fourth place.
Roger Bush also weighed in with a strong bet winner as Westerner Girl stayed on gamely at Galway to land the spoils at an early 7/2.
After another great day, it was time for the pub, and we headed down to Cheadle for a few beers. On my return there was more good news, as I discovered that Hawatif had won for me at 12/1.
So that was it, the end of Goodwood for another year, and what a festival it had been for me. It started slowly for me on the Tuesday (Seems so long ago), but every day after had been great. I’d bet too much and drunk too much, but what a blast it has been.
I’ll need to take some time to recover now, so it’s no punting for me until next Saturday, but I’ll be back with an updated list of my punters and their results, early next week.
