Last day of October, with another healthy month. Profit of over 16 points (£1635.00) not bad for under a £90 investment to subscribe. So whatever happens today a decent profit, it would be nice to get a good winner.
With the flat season coming to a close, and soft ground everywhere, jump racing really is kicking into gear. At Wetherby the mare Roskana has a decent chance of getting her season off to a good start at 2.45. She is around 2/1 so tiny bit of value for favourite backers. She will handle conditions, and the Skelton horses seem in good form. On the flat, Oisin Murphy is finishing off the season well, and will be champion again, I watched him ride a very good race at Chelmsford on Thursday, in the 2 mile race. He settled his mount, when 3 riders up the front end took each other on, what Jack Mitchell was thinking on the favourite, I have no idea, as it was an awful ride, Murphy made his race winning move inside the latter stages, and was a ready winner at the line, it was a very smart ride, it’s a shame this young rider will likely get a ban, as he tested positive for a banned substance in France, so will likely get a suspension.
More later.
