I headed into day two of York in decent spirits after my late come back on the first day. Alas it was a full day at work, and I only saw the last race live. I love having time off work for festivals, but I'd had too much time off in recent weeks to justify taking more off.
Like the first day, it was a complete blow out in the first race of the day, as my horse Hemmingway tipped by Ben Linfoot and Be Alchemist faded tamely to finish well down the field. I also backed Rusumaat, who finished a remote 2nd, and although win only, but I did get my money back as a free bet with Sky Bet.
Things improved in the second race as, Queen Kindly tipped by Northern Monkey, finished fast to defeat the odds on jolly Fair Eva. I was on each way, and thought that was the best I would get, so it was a great surprise to bag an early winner. I was mob handed in the big mile handicap, and fortunately for me, Firmament tipped by Bet Alchemist showed admiral grit to gain a narrow win. I also got some each way cash from Third Time Lucky, tipped by Horse Trader.
My best result of the day came in the Yorkshire Oaks as I had a one-three from only 2 bets. I had a strong win bet on Seventh Heaven who was given by Paul Jones and Bet Alchemist, who won at 4/1 for me, and I was on each way on the strong travelling Queens Trust who easily claimed the each way money.
I didn't have much doing in the remaining 2 races, except a strong each way bet on To Eternity who landed the place money when finishing second.
All in all, not a bad day, as I moved into a slight profit after the first two days of York.
