March further into profit

March is turning into a cracking month, with two winners at 6/1 and 8/1 in the last two days, from our only two selections.

We'll be very much looking to knock in the hat-trick tomorrow, but as ever won't go chasing any selections. 

Since our more selective approach from November 1st 2012, our results have been this:

Bets 98 
Wins 15
Average odds 8.83/1
Average win odds 9.47/1
Strike Rate 15.31%
Required Strike Rate to return profit at odds played at: 9.6%
Profit: +47pts
ROI: +43.01%

Extremely pleasing, and naturally we'll be doing our best to keep things up in the months ahead. 

So since our last results update on Sunday, we've had three selections.

First up, on Monday we had:

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

2.10         Southwell              Hodgson                      1pt                           5/1 generally BOG

OF INTEREST:

2.40 Southwell Zazamix 12/1
3.40 Southwell Likearollingstone 5/1
4.10 Southwell Zelos Diktator 9/1

Hodgson had been extremely well backed in the morning, and continued to be supported on course, going off at 4/1. He was cantering all over his rivals as they swung for home, hitting 1.27 in running but eventually got gunned down in second by the 10yo Categorical who really loved the soft conditions.

As for the of interest mentions, Zelos Diktator was a good winner, at 16/1sp.

Our next selection was on Wednesday when we had:

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

4.05         Warwick               Madame Allsorts          1pt                          6/1 Hills/Coral/PP/Bet365

OF INTEREST:

4.20 Haydock  Mr Syntax 4-1

Madame Allsorts was a really game winner. She was held up out the back before being brought into contention by Leighton Aspell, and she saw it out in gutsy fashion to win by more than two lengths after going off at 4/1

Then today (Thursday) we had our 5th winner from 20 selections this month after putting up:

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

2.40     Chep                                          Nicene Creed                     1pt                                            9-1 Tote, BSquare, 8-1 general

OF INTEREST:

4.20 Chep Salut Honore 5-1

Nicene Creed hit a whopping 150 in running before landing the 2.40 at Chepstow today. Starting at a really well backed 7/2 he was scrubbed along early on, but came into the contest for his jockey Paul Moloney (who was originally due to ride another from the stable, who was a non-runner). Still a couple of lengths down coming to the last, the 8yo stayed on really well to get up in the last 20 yards. Great stuff and another example of a gambled horse whose jockey wouldn't give up.

Salut Honore was pulled up, with his contest going to 15yo Victory Gunner, what a fabulous servant he's been to connections.

Summary of Results:

Monday 18th March:

Hodgson, 2nd/6, 5/1 --- 4/1

Tuesday 19th March

No selections

Wednesday 20th March: 

Madame Allsorts, 1st/7, 6/1 --- 4/1

Thursday 21st March:

Nicene Creed, 1st/8, 8/1 --- 7/2

So all in all a cracking couple of days, the flat season gets underway tomorrow and let's hope we can keep it going.
