Once again we lost some of today's racing to the elements and tomorrow's meeting at Bangor on Dee has already been lost with inspections due early in the morning at the remaining two meetings. I traded in 7 races today and lost in just one.
My first race was the 14:20 at Taunton where I started with a lay of Wise Owl for £150 @ 1.45 and backed back £130 @ 1.59. On the run in I backed him again for £5 @ 1.50 and a further £120 @ 1.10 near to the line to net me a starting profit of £24.
In the 14:50 at Taunton I backed Nobody Tells Me, whilst leading and with two fences to go, for £25 @ 1.44, but soon after he came under pressure and I lost my £25. My next race was the 15:00 at Southwell and laid Spinning Game for £31 @ 1.91 to earn a profit of £31.
Next was the 15:30 at Southwell, where I backed Party Boss for £214 @ 1.30 just before the line and I consider myself lucky that he held on by a short head to net me a £65 profit.
The next race was my best result of the day. It was the 15:50 at Taunton where I backed Gustavo for £183 @ 2.01 with two hurdles to jump. I laid off £170 @ 1.35 between the last two hurdles and on the run in and the race in the bag I backed him for £1245 @ 1.01, to leave me with a profit on the race of £138.
I had two more trades, both where small but profitable. This left me with a race trading profit of £237 on the day.
Later this evening I traded in 3 of the Premier League Darts matches. My first was the Colin Lloyd v Raymond Van Berneveld tie where I laid Colin Lloyd for £14 @ 40.00 just as Barney won his 7th leg to net me £14. I broke even in the Phil Taylor v Dennis Priestley match.
My final trade of the day was in the Peter Manley v Adrian Lewis match. I started with a back of Manley for £77 @ 4.70 before laying off @ 2.95. This would have left me with £135 profit if Manley won, however soon after Lewis started to play much better and I had lost my chance to green up. Very near to the end of the match I backed Lewis for £1000 @ 1.08 to leave me with a profit of £80.
I ended the day with an overall profit of £331.
