nearly back to square one.................

after a second successive losing day but no complaints, beaten fair n square no complaints. Hats off to Jim Best and the connections of Rocky Ryan for their touch today, hoodwinked the bookies early doors by the jocking up of AP on Jades Double giving the indication that was the trainers preference, then pulled McCoys intended mount and his rag out of the race and AP was then put up on Rocky Ryan supported from 9/1 into 7/2 by the time the withdrawals were announced. AP is the man you want in your corner when the money is down and the 15/8 fav was given a peach of a ride and Rocky responded in game fashion to land the spoils.
Fair play to VSR who undertandably have been quiet of late and responded without any prompting to extend account subscriptions.
Optimum advised Pretty Star (ew) in the last at Fakenham uneasy in the market but ran well enough just denied third approaching the last as Creinch stayed on the better.
My only other play on the day was in the first at Fakenham, was getting a few enquiries in the morning for Havenstone but the price was shorter than was available elsewhere so ntg was done, but the vibes from the sources enquiring was encouraging. Got a positive message and then on the shows from a respected runner i accepted a lumpy bet at 2/1, i followed him in with £150 at the price and layed £75 @ 2.46 giving me a bet of £75 @ 5/2 but the outcome was like my day ............. disappointing, as the selection ran one paced into a 3rd place.
