The Sports Trader is back in the groove. A much better day of racing and much better results to go with it. I also had my house to myself and switched the telephones off.
My first race was the 12:50 at Haydock where I laid Carthalawn for £5 @ 2.75 and backed back £4 @ 3.20. I then managed to back the eventual winner, Ichi Beau, for £250 @ 1.10 on the run in and when well in the lead to net myself a profit on the race of £27. I then had two small trades one profitable and won not.
Next was the 13:55 @ Haydock and here I backed the Outlier for £20 @ 1.70 and then a further £32 @ 1.10 and on the run in £60 @ 1.01 to give me a profit of £18. My next race was the 14:05 at Lingfield where I laid Lorikeet for £351 @ 6.00 just after being headed with a furlong to go to give me a very solid profit of £351 on the race.
The next race for me was the 14:15 at Wincanton where I backed Kaldouas for £50 @ 1.01 approaching the line. This race ended with a photo finish and I was lucky to get £1880 matched @ 1.01 during the photo betting to give me a further £19 profit.
My next race was the 14:50 at Wincanton. I started with a lay of Blackhills for £834 @ 4.10 and immediately put up a back of £800 @ 5.00, which was matched almost instantly. I made further lays for a total of £50 @ an average price of 5.00 to leave me all green with a profit of £90 if Blackhills lost but a profit of £391 if he won, which he did eventually do leaving me with my biggest profit on the day of £391. I then had another small but profitable race.
In the 15:15 at Naas I backed Benefit Night for £81 @ 1.20 for a profit of £16. My next was in the 15:30 at Haydock where I backed The sawyer for £350 @ 2.00 and quickly laid back @ 1.70 to give me another £105 profit.
Next for me was the 16:00 at Haydock where I backed Lease Lend for £129 @ 1.51 for another £66 profit. I then traded in the 16:25 at Wincanton and backed Amour Multiple for £123 @ 1.81 before laying back at 1.05 to net a profit of £93. My worst race of the day was in the 16:50 at Kempton where I had backed Double M for £41 @ 1.48 only to see him caught on the line when idling in front to lose me £41.
That was my last race as I had to go and pick up my children. It has been a very good day where I felt everything was set up for a good performance and so it proved. I have often said This is a mind game' on a day like today when I was totally on my own and, knew I would be, feeling fitter than any day for the past two weeks and decent racing, I just have so much more confidence in my ability to trade. I finished my day with a profit of £1043.
Well done. :-).

Very impressive performance. I was also glad to see Black Hills win after laying the favourite in that race for £500 at 3.5.

Hi Humble,
Yes I do use Atr Xtra. It is about 2 seconds faster than ATR although picture quality is not as good.
