Saturday 29th May

A brilliant day yesterday with two winners from two bets, at 3/1 and 5/1. We had a nice wedge on each of them (5pts) and that puts us well in front for the week. I have to say, our staking is holding us in really good stead. All we really do is play the percentages, turn the book in our favour, and it is so important to follow correct stakes with value betting. We're miles ahead from last week, so a few losers earlier in the week shouldn't have hurt anyone. Funny, I usually get a dozen e-mails when we get a winner but yesterday nothing, even though we had two winners. I hope everyone got on despite the unfortunate lack of analysis? Let me know!! It's not praise were after, it's just to know you're benefiting!!

On to today, one bet which is twice the price it should be.

2.45 Newmarket San Cassiano 3pts each-way @ 20/1 (Stan James, Guaranteed)

I just love backing horses with a big fat zero next to their name, with an obvious excuse for the zero that bookmakers haven't cottoned on to. San Cassiano had no chance from his draw last time out, that day where the Lingfield rail ended up like a golden highway. He was given a fairly easy time of it when it became clear he had no chance. Today he steps up to a mile which I believe is a positive, he will strip fitter, and is drawn just fine in stall 4. His 2yo form is stacking up really well and he is a strapping big horse - I'm happy he is carrying to weight against inferior rivals. I thought this fella would be 10/1 this morning so Stan James do look to be going out on a limb offering up 20's. I've had a decent each-way bet with some of yesterday's winnings.
