Windsor - 29th Aug

    I'm running out time in terms of trying to make a profit this flat season but I am in front with my tracker horses and my one bet tomorrow is on one who has been on that list since May. At that time Critical Risk was trained by Brian Meehan and his win (actually dead heated) at Sandown that month was notable in that he lost a couple of lengths as the stalls opened and had to come wide and late in order to challenge so whilst a 6lb hike for such a small margin of success seems excessive on the face of it, his dawdling suggests the race went anything but his way and I strongly fancy him tomorrow. Another plus is that he has moved to Luca Cumani, one of my favourite trainer of handicappers.

EDIT: 19:34
    It's very, very rare for me to bet after I've posted my blog thoughts for the day but I did get involved this evening in the August Stakes at Windsor. I wasn't steaming (I think) after Critical Risk's defeat but after Fascinating Rock got turned over in the Winter Hill I think the layers got a bit greedy and Gospel Choir touched 3.3 on the machine just before the off half an hour later. I had to tuck in at that price, I made him a 6/4 poke. He lost, but I'm posting the bet as I want my P/L to be as accurate as possible.
