May into profit

A good winner at Catterick has ensured that May is, albeit marginally, into profit.

We'll start with yesterday's action. We had:

TIME COURSE SELECTION 1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)

2.10 Newcastle Almond Branches 1pt 11/2 Bet365/Hills (6/1 Boylesports/Stan James)

6.00 Catterick Judas Jo 1pt 8/1 Skybet/Stan James 15/2 Coral

7.50 Exeter Livinginthefuture 1pt 5/1 Hills/Stan James (6/1 Youwin.com)

Almond Branches went off at 6/1, and was there or thereabouts but faded towards the end to finish fourth.

We had better success with our next 2yo maiden race, with Judas Jo looking a little outpaced at one stage in the opener at Catterick, before charging home to win going away by nearly two lengths, after starting at 15/2.

Livinginthefuture was 9/4 at the off, but was just never travelling and in the end finished a remote fourth.

Today we had:

TIME COURSE SELECTION 1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)

3.30 Chester Green Park 2pt 12/1 Lads/VC 11/1 Hills/Boylesports

8.00 Sedgefield Justwhateverulike 1pt 5/1 Hills 9/2 Bet365/VC/Lads/Boylesports

Green Park had a good draw at Chester but was outpaced and finished well beaten in the end, after starting at 10/1.

Justwhateverulike was pulled out not long before the off at Sedgefield tonight, after being backed into 4/1 generally.

So it means we're a point up for May right now - as the racing continues to come thick and fast there are bound to be plenty of opportunities to build on it, we'll be working hard to do just that.
