Weekend update

It's been fairly slow in terms of selections since our last update - none on Friday, a couple on Saturday and then one today, Sunday.

Let's start out look back yesterday where we had:

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

1.25 Newcastle Teerie Express 1pt 4/1+generally 9/2 Lads/Hills/Totesport/VC&others
2.05 Sandown Tanks For That 1pt 9/2+generally 5/1 Bet365/Totesport/Betfred

Teerie Express went off at 5/1, and showed up well for a long time trading at around evens for a time, but was a bit one paced after losing the lead before three out, and eventually finished third, losing second on the run-in.

Tanks For That (9/2sp), was up there for much of this decent two mile handicap, but a mistake two out seemed to spoil what chance he had, and he as well finished third, losing second on the post.

Then today we had:

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

1.30 Hereford Acapulco Bay 2pt 10/1+generally inc. 11/1 Skybet/Boylesports 12/1 Lads/Bet365/VC/PP/Bluesq Maybe some 14/1 Stan James/SportingBet

This was the second time in the last couple of months we've put up Dai Burchell's 8yo, and again we didn't collect, although this was a slightly better showing than last time. Nicely backed into 8/1, he was held up and well behind before trying to close as they turned for home. He only got so far though before the petrol ran out, and he had to settle for fourth.

Confirmation of results with price (advised --- SP):

Saturday 7th January 2012:

Teerie Express, 3rd/8, 9/2 --- 5/1

Tanks For That, 3rd/9, 5/1 --- 9/2

Sunday 8th January 2012:

Acapulco Bay, 4th/12, 12/1 --- 8/1

A disappointing weekend and we look for better tomorrow.
