Apologies.....

Yesterday was another example of how difficult finding the time to do all the necessary study and analysis really is. I was away for a couple of days however I had agreed with Mick that if he was keen on anything that he should send it out as a proper bet via text to those concerned. I was not in a position to prepare and send out the email and due to unforeseen personal circumstances Mick was unable to post any details of the bet on here. To keep things fair on the blog the bet has been recorded on the P & L and those who only receive the bets via email or from the blog have saved themselves a point!!

Looking forward we are constantly trying to improve the way we do things and recognise that whilst it's a case of two steps forward and then two steps back, we are not doing too badly considering. There are a number of areas where we need to improve things, it is just a case of ensuring that time allows. One thing which we will be doing is increasing the number of 1PT win bets on horses which we feel are overpriced and whilst there may be a bit of speculation over some of them we believe with a combination of form analysis and statistical data these will prove profitable in the long run. We both have very busy day jobs and there are only so many hours in a day, and whilst it would be great to post up all our thoughts with in depth analysis quite frankly this is not really possible at the minute. As always we welcome any feedback and suggestions (please keep them clean) and hope that people are enjoying the blog as a whole. Please feel free to take up the option of texts/emails by clicking the link at the top right of the page.

As far as todays racing is concerned the afternoon cards looked difficult and I have concentrated my efforts on the evening card at Chester. As most people know this is a very tight track where a low draw is a big advantage, particularly over the sprint distances, and as usual there are a number of non runners (unsurprisingly the ones drawn widest of all). There is one race which looks potentially interesting and I want to spend a bit longer on it so if there is anything of interest it will be up here later on.
