Another good day yesterday with Anton Chigurh winning easily, it has been a fine week. Two bets for this afternoon. Look our for updates for Saturday's racing throughout the day.
3.45 York
The Fun Crusher 2pts win @ 20/1 (William Hill, guaranteed, 18/1 VC Bet, guaranteed, 16/1 generally guaranteed)
Also 1pt place @ Betfair SP (pays 4 places) - Placed @3.2
Not a massive bet as I'm not a fan of backing horses from a 58 day break at this stage of the season. Saying that, The Fun Vrusher represents a stable whose horses are bang in form and tend to be targeted for York meetings. The selection is out of Halling, and looks bound to improve with time and distance. His form from the end of March behind Qaraaba at Doncaster is working out well and that came at a time when the stable's horses weren't firing. He was sent off favourite for a valuable handicap here last time but disappointed, the break since would suggest all may not have been well. He returns today and has largely been overlooked, well worth a punt at a big price. Take Betfair SP for the place part of the bet, 4 places will be paid.
Represents Tim's uncle Mick Easterby. Was noted staying on under very tender handling last time out and it is interesting he is sent back to York off a mark of 84. He has dropped 17lb in the handicap since his days with Aidan O'Brien, and at a guess I'd say he must be on an Ayr Gold Cup programme. If so, he needs to start winning and picking up penalties soon. His trainer is a good supporter of apprentice races, and the fact that horse tends to respond to tender handling would suggest this might be the ideal contest with which to give him a confidence boost.
Profit & loss: day: -3.90 / month: +109.10 / year: -112.38
