As expected it was a very busy weeks punting, with the focus being, Newmarket from Thursday onwards and then additional meetings at York and Ascot at the weekend.
The week started poorly when Northern Monkeys maximum bet at Newmarket, Magical Gift ran a stinker despite being backed in from ante post 12/1 to 7/2 favourite. This was an appalling start to the week and really limited my stakes for the rest of the week.
Fortunately the fight back started on Friday, and after a wretched run of bad luck, finally Wayne of NM, got some deserved winners, with the highlight being the front running win by Royal Intervention at 12/1. Handicap Snip, was going in heavy with 3 maximums over the weekend, but the first Collide, didn't seem to stay and faded disappointingly. It was also a blank day for Ben Linfoot on Friday, with 3 losers.
Saturday looked like being epic, 5 bets from Linfoot, 2 maximum's from HS, some lumpy bets from Northern Monkey, who was sounding rather confident after Fridays 2 winners. I was the Chorlton Beer Festival Saturday afternoon, so placed my bets, and then recorded the racing, to hopefully watch on my drunken return.
What an afternoon it turned out to be, Northern M had 2 huge winners with Tis Marvellous and Copper Knight, plus the double, Handicap Snip provided a lovely maximum better winner with Vale of Kent, and Linfoot weighed in with the massive gamble on Ten Sovereigns in the July Cup (10/1 into 7/2). Overall a cracking day, which starts the blog off in great style.
