Stuffed again with a couple of late drifters yesterday. These Flat boys are very canny so you really should leave the placing of the Hughie place bets as lateas possible. The major ‘twist’ was at Sligo. The aptly named Crooked Throw was 7/4 at the time I made the place bet suggestion. Clear fav and a nice frame. 7/4 is equivalent to 1.35 on the place markets yet the horse went off at 2.12 on the place site – and was never a threat – finishing without breaking sweat – cosily in 4th. Basically you have to be watchful as the rogues are out there in multitude.

For the second day on the run – in our biggest bet as well – the equally divided double element paid off. Its SO important and financially sound. Should one of the two selections win and the other place the returns are substantially increased.

Senior moment for me yesterday when I ticked the wrong box with bet365 in the Lions match. I was the wrong way round and with the Lions at 10/11!!!. When I saw my mistake it was fortunate the cat was in the garden! Pass me the pills nurse please.

Anyway live, fresh and kicking today but again the racing frames are poor. Just have to be patient until major bets become apparent.

Again It’s been a struggle to find six and the quality of the horses though better than yesterday is still little above moderate.

I mentioned the 1.02 on Murray yesterday. He wasn’t anywhere near 100% but just look at these early trades: -

1.01 €234,077
1.02 €3,329,781
1.03 €1,449,997
1.04 €874,011
1.05 €1,043,597
1.06 €446,594
1.07 €165,374
1.08 €171,436
1.09 €175,512
1.10 €465,025
1.11 €464,765
1.12 €351,652

It goes to show that Trading at these very low levels can be very profitable!
