The Sports Trader had a very short day of trading as my daughter, Josie and her boyfriend Stuart, came back from their holiday and I had to go to Glasgow airport to pick them up at 1:30pm. By the time we got to my house and made lunch my son, Oliver, called round to see us all after finishing work, and before I knew it I had missed over 2 hours of race trading. It was good seeing them so I wouldn't of had it any other way. By the end of my trading day I had traded on just 8 horse races and 1 football match.
My day started with a trade in the 16:05 at Newbury where I laid Trans Sonic for £52 @ 9.90 to start my day with a profit of £52. I followed this with a small winning trade. They where the only trades I managed in the afternoon session. I then took my 3 young children to their mothers for their weekend visit.
In the 19:30 at Hamilton I backed Boscobel for £5 @ 2.50 before laying off @ 2.00. Then later I backed him again for £25 @ 1.50 to result in a profit of £15.
Next was the 19:45 at Aintree where I laid Beauchamp Oracle for £6 @ 5.00 and later laid Hip Pocket for £9 @ 9.00 to result in a profit of £15. I followed this with 2 more small winning trades.
My final race trade on the day was in the 21:10 at Hamilton where I laid Ashes for £20 @ 25.00 to give me a further £25 profit.
So at the end of a short race trading day I had made a profit of £125.
I did trade a little in the Notts Forest v Yeovil game whilst getting ready to go out for a few drinks with my son. I had backed the under 2.5 goals market for £101 @ 2.35 which I laid of @ 2.08 a few minutes later. I decided to leave it at that whilst I had a shower and by the time I got back into my office another 2 goals had been scored so I ended the game all square.
I had a great night out with Oliver and met up with several other friends so I didn't get back home until 3:00am, hence the late update for my blog.
