Haunting scenes

A day when events at Newbury overshadowed everything, of course. Extraordinary, and let's just hope they can pinpoint exactly what caused such incredible scenes. So awful for everyone connected, from the stable lads and lasses, the owners, to the Newbury course officials to those spectators standing around the paddock looking forward to a great day's racing.

Good luck to all those trying to establish the facts, it would be awful if it was just left "unexplained", or else all sorts of theories could start to be thrown around. Surely it will all become clear soon, let's hope so anyway.

Our selections today ran at Warwick and Ayr, and we had one winner.

TIME COURSE SELECTION 1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)
1.40 Warwick The Quantum Kid 1pt 10/1 Hills/Lads/VC/Betfred
2.50 Ayr Locked Inthepocket 1pt 9/2 Lads/Stan James/Totesport
3.20 Ayr Sotovik 1pt 20/1 Lads
5.05 Ayr Crackerjack Lad 1pt 9/1 Bet365/BetFred

We got some cracking value today, and a brilliant performance from Locked Inthepocket who won with any amount in hand, to ensure a 1.5pt profit on the day. It doesn't really feel appropriate to go into any more detail than that.

Confirmation of results with prices:

The Quantum Kid, F/14, 10/1 --- 9/1
Locked Inthepocket, 1st/10, 9/2 --- 11/4
Sotovik, PU/7, 20/1 --- 8/1
Crackerjack Lad, 4th/12, 9/1 --- 9/2
