Hi Bloggers

We had another selection today (Sunday 5th September):

York 17:20 – Mistoffelees

Recent good runs see Luca Cumani’s colt as forecast favourite here. There are however, a few negatives that mean he can be opposed. Upped in Class today, he takes on proven performers at this level. Never run at York so course suitability is unknown. Official Rating is now up to 78 which is a 5lb rise for a 1 & 1/4 length win. Trainers record in this age group here is average but favourites in 4YO+ handicaps at the track have a low strike rate. 

Despite all the hype, the selection must have had an off day. Even though it went off as the favourite, it came in 14th of the 14 runners at a Betfair SP of 4.51 (ISP 3/1). That gave us a profit for the day of £38.00 or 0.95 of a point at level stakes. Our cumulative bank now stands at £2,144.00 giving us a profit to date of £144.00 or 3.60 points at level stakes.

I am, no doubt, in danger of tempting fate by noting that this is the ninth successful lay in a row for the system, so I look forward to celebrating the tenth one! I have already heard from the author that there are no selections for tomorrow, Monday, so we will have to wait a while for our tenth lay success.

Kind regards

Tony
