Quick Update

The last couple of weeks have been rather disappointing in terms of the account bets and it has led me to reflect on some of my recent selections. In hindsight I have probably been guilty of forcing bets instead of waiting for them to come to me and with the jump racing in a period of transition I have decided to concentrate my efforts on the forthcoming flat racing. The jumps racing is traditionally very difficult at this stage of the year, the ground is generally riding much faster than it has during the season and consequently horses which have been running on unfavoured ground are now back to reasonable handicap marks and the conditions are now in their favour. You could say that this represents an ideal opportunity to find some decent winners, however it is very difficult to equate the many variables involved and therefore it does tend to throw up a number of strange and unpredictable results. For these reasons I am going to look more closely at the turf stuff and working alongside Mick, we will aim to identify a select few races of interest and independently form our own conclusions. This is something that we have tried successfully on occasions in the past and when we are both in agreement we will be looking to get involved, provided the price is right. In the long term we believe that this is something that will be very successful and highly profitable and we both agree it is a step in the right direction.

In terms of todays racing there is one race of interest and assuming the price is satisfactory (it is touch and go judging by the exchanges) then we will be getting involved with one.

I'll be back in the next hour or so to update.
