I also use it to see whether it is actually heading for the course or to see how much rain is on the way.The Lairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084242261923916358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547830833655385781.post-37321545599202610772010-09-07T16:22:29.651+01:002010-09-07T16:22:29.651+01:00So much for the "high" draw being favour...So much for the "high" draw being favoured at Lingfield. When I wrote the blog I was going to give racing a miss due to the rain; but then I saw HAND PAINTED and thought it looked a viable wager. I managed to get my money on at 20.46 on Betfair, and it was 15/2 (8.80) at the off. It never looked like winning as the going was more like good-to-soft than good-to-firm as there had clearly been a lot of rainfall during the day. Somehow, the horse touched 3.20 in-running (god knows why as it was struggling after 3-furlongs on the ground) so I had laid-off my stake by then; but this was an abject lesson in how the weather can affect racing results.Wayward Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940069760757554537noreply@blogger.com
