Another 2 winners & a cracking day for the blog

For regular readers of the blog, Saturday was another cracking day with 4 races reviewed finding 2 winners in BIG JIM (advised at 11/2, won with an SP of 5/2) and WESTEND STORY (advised at 11/4, won with an SP of 2/1).  Add to that the pointer about champion jockey Richard Johnson going to ride at Wetherby and was sure to be on a winner or two, and the great man ws in top-form there riding 4 winners from 6 rides at odds of 5/2, 4/1, 2/1 and 11/4 with his losing rides having SP's of 14/1 (horse had no chance) and 11/8 which came in 2nd beaten just a length.  A £1 win "Canadian" (5 selections in doubles, trebles, and accumulators) on the 5 horses with early-morning odds under 10/1 would have returned £496.75 for a £26 outlay, and that is at returned starting prices.

I had some good feedback on twitter, including one generous gesture from a winning reader of the blog who donated £50 to the Retired Greyhound Trust of £50 on my behalf. Remember, the blog is free-to-all, in the past I've only charged a nominal sum for sending the blog out early by email (before it goes online) but this season, as I'm taking more of a "back-seat", I have put that service on hold for the time being until my circumstances change.  The donate button is still "live" and if you want to make  contribution by way of a "thanks for the advice", please do - or if you would rather make a donation to a registered charity on my behalf from your winnings please contact me via twitter and I will recommend a suitable charity.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have a share in a syndicate managed by Nick Bradley, and another of his syndicates had a tremendous result on Sunday when Doctor Phoenix won the Grade A Dan Moore Memorial (handicap) Chase at Fairyhouse worth 59,000 Euros to the winner!  Nick Bradley picked up this horse at the sales at the end of the 2016-17 jumps season for just £10,000 and sent the horse to Gordon Elliot and the horse has now won 2 of his 4 starts since joining him.  I have to admit, I thought the horse did not have much improvement in him but Gordon Elliot has proved me wrong and he's found at least 10lb and there may be a bit more to come. Soft ground, an extended 2-mile trip, and a strong pace to chase are what suits Doctor Phoenix best and connections have entered the horse for the Champion Chase at Cheltenham where I expect they will looking for some place money to pay for the drinks bill!

There are just 2 meetings today at Ayr and Plumpton, and with the ground likely to be very soft or heavy at both meetings due to the atrocious weather blitzing the country today, I can't advise a wager (I don't like Mondays, anyway) and if you are having a wager, I'd suggest keeping stakes small.
