Updates

We ended February with a good winner yesterday to ensure the month ended in profit. Today we had 0/2 for the start of March.

Let's start yesterday where we had:

TIME COURSE SELECTION 0.5pt/1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)

4.25 Bangor Cloudy Too 0.5pt 7/1+generally inc. 8/1 Lads/Totesport/&Others
4.35 Southwell Cruising Bye 0.5pt 8/1+generally inc. 9/1 Bet365/PP 10/1 Totesport
4.55 Bangor Fishoutofwater 1pt 5/1+generally inc. 11/2 Hills 6/1 Lads/Totesport&others

EARLY SELECTION:

4.15 Folkestone Upham Atom 1pt 5/1+generally inc. 6/1 Hills/Bet365&others

First up, Upham Atom came with a rattling late run to win the Kent national. Still a few lengths off the front pair at the last fence, he stayed on strongly all the way to the line and was always going to get there once in full flow. A great ride by Liam Treadwell who never gave up on him, after starting a well supported 4/1

Cloudy Too went off at 10/1 and was always there until the pace quickened and he couldn't quite go with them, but stayed on nicely to be placed in fourth.

Cruising Bye weakened out of things in the closing stages, after going off at 10/1.

Fishoutofwater ran well, after starting at 6/1 staying on well towards the end as the majority of the field called it a day, but could only finish a well beaten second, well clear of third.

Today we had:

TIME COURSE SELECTION 0.5pt/1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)

4.10 Taunton Arctic Watch 1pt 7/1+ generally inc. 8/1 Lads/Hills/Totesport&others
4.30 Ludlow An Cappell Mor 1pt 6/1+ generally inc. 7/1 Lads/Totesport
5.10 Taunton Miss Brownes Fancy 0.5pt 6/1+generally inc. 13/2 Coral/Paddy Power

Arctic Watch stayed on in the closing stages but was never threatening, after starting at 6/1.

An Cappell Mor (SP 7/1) ran really poorly, struggling early on and finishing tailed off.

Miss Brownes Fancy was a NR.

February ended up 5.5pts up in the end (+17.19% ROI). We'll do a monthly review either later tonight or tomorrow.

Just to say as well, that we have begun a trial which, if successful, could, we believe, lead to something which could be very beneficial to certain members who struggle to get bets on each day, because of work commitments, or any other reason. Namely, we could be in a position to place bets on members' behalf. There'll be plenty more details and thoughts on this in the coming weeks, and it is very early days, but in the meantime, there's some more info here, on a blog written by one of our members: http://apuntersyear.blogspot.com/2012/02/shape-of-things-to-come.html. Many members of course would have no interest in this, but for those who may have, we think that this could be a very useful addition to our service. Watch this space!
