So, a busy busy day
Star performer has to go to Bazzaboy who accounted for £170 of the profit by picking the Prizefighter winner (+£120) and the winner of a fight to be stopped before the end of the 8th. Not sure how it was stopped before the end of the 8th, but it was (+£50)
In racing Doobs gave us Dundonnell at 15/8 and two runners up means we now have three £25 free bets to use this week. Hopefully they can be turned into some cash
In Football, Bradford pulverised Northampton for the first half hour, and Nakhi Wells scored. At combined odds of 3-1, that was another £75 into the coffers thanks to Doobs
In Darts Peter Wright triumphed at lunchtime, to add £40 to the satchel thanks to Snowball.
In less successful endeavours we went 0 for 5 on Eurovision, though quite how the UK entry finished 19th and seven songs finished below it, perhaps time will never tell. Very unlucky for Hector
It would be immodest of me to remind you all that your scribe stuck up a you tube video of Denmark when they were 5/2 with the comment "This is the winner". So I won't.
Chompy's deus horribilis was complete when he correctly identified that Declaration of War would drift, and it did so from 5-1 to 7-4. Only adroit Betfair skirmishing by tikay, as if born to complete such complex trades, saved the thread from a loss. Inevitably, and confirming Chompy's initial analysis, Declaration of Drift was done for toe and beaten well.
We drew two blanks in the Preakness, and there followed an interesting debate in which I was reminded of the immortal words of Steven patrick Morrissey
"Preakness, Preakness I was only joking When I said I'd like to smash every tooth In your head"
Reading it, I knew how Joan of Arc felt, anyway.
Looking ahead, we are in very good shape in the Golf where Lee goes into the final round in Madeira -11 to Karlberg's -5 in the match bet. Henriques meanwhile, the Claypole banzai, is a long way back so the fat lady is singing on that one
In Bulgaria, McDowell is giving us a great run in the Matchplay, currently in the semi-finals
In Cricket, today should be the day for Mr Swann to come to the party and recover some wicket taking ground to Anderson.
England, assuming they get 250 on, will win by 75 or so
In County Cricket Middlesex are top of a very competitive LVCC Div 1 heat, albeit down to 5 teams possible winners and we have 7-1 each way
