The Sports Trader had a quiet and unprofitable day after trading in just 10 horse races. I had a busy day outside of trading and therefore missed quite a lot of the day's racing.
During the afternoon session I only traded on 7 races and they all finished with small profits. Then in the evening I had my first loss of the day in the 19:00 at Wexford where I had laid Dreamy Gent for £31 @ 3.95 thinking that Ruby would work his magic on the short priced favourite Irish Invader, but for once Ruby let me down. I did back Dreamy Gent in the later stages of the race for £20 @ 1.50 to limit my loss on the race to £81.
Next I had another small winning trade and then in my final trade of the day in the 19:40 at Towcester I managed to get this one wrong as well. I backed Johnston's Swallow for 24 @ 21.30 and laid off £25 @ 2.10. Later in the race I laid him for a further £100 @ 2.40 and backed back £50 @ 2.80 to leave me with a loss of £46.
I missed the rest of the evening racing as I had to go to the airport and pick up mu daughter Jenny, so my day had finished with a disappointing loss of £106.
