Going close

Running Total Since January 1st 2010: +282.07pts

We went pretty close to following up yesterday's winner with our one selection today finishing a decent third at Exeter.

We had:

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

3.20 Exeter Me Julie 1pt 7/1 generally

Arthur Whiting's 8yo set off in the lead and she travelled very sweetly for much of the race. A furlong or two from home she just began to feel it a little, and when the challengers came she wasn't quite able to fend them off, ending up finishing third, beaten only a couple of lengths, after starting at 6/1. A good effort and for a moment or two it looked like she might be able to skip clear and win quite comfortably. Not to be though and we look forward to tomorrow.

Confirmation of result with prices (advised --- SP):

Me Julie, 3rd/9, 7/1 --- 6/1
