A better day on Saturday with two winners which retrieved the losses from what had been a very shabby week up until then.Mr Moet got out to a backable price and had he not gone down by a nose after a ride a 3kg's claimer would be ashamed of it would have been a very good day indeed.Poor rides and bad luck are just something you have to live with and overall it does even out over time.
Looking back at my records over the years I find February is the most challenging month of the year closely followed by August.This probably has something to do with these months being the changeover from off season racing into the Spring and Autumn Carnivals.It's very good racing now through March and April and when it drops off in Melbourne and Sydney Brisbane is good on Saturdays through May and into June.The good flat turf racing starts in the UK in April which becomes a major focus for me then through the Australian Winter months.Really it's full on now for me until the Spring carnival finishes in November.
The blog has it's limitations as I can only look at races where odds are already posted and in truth a lot of my plays take place midweek around the "gaff" tracks where there are plenty of horses opening up big overs and unders.The ability to be able to "lay" horses on Betfair gives anyone who does their homework a real opportunity to profit on poor racing that just simply didn't exist before the exchange came along.I'm going to be using the "Twitter" link midweek to try and highlight a few of the possible plays so hopefully I can steer anyone who is following on Twitter into some nice winners or more often some solid "lays"
