Sunday 19th April

2009 Challenge Fund (£12540 - £100 in play unaccounted)
Current stake - £120

Football pretty decent day yesterday, (well done John!), racing less so. At least I kept a lid on the racing bets – planted some potatoes rather than be sucked into the Greenham or Spring Cup.

No obvious bet today. We have two draws still running for us – they'll do for interest.




Barking Bets (Banked £1375/Current fund £2070 – 1 bet in play unaccounted)

I chose well yesterday – missing the John Porter but nailing the Ayr novice chase. Shame I missed the late drift on both horses. Backed Ali Carter last night as well – so far so good.

What A Friend looks fair at 1.5 today at Stratford.

The 1 bet we have in play was the big four to win the FA Cup, which we'll collect today unless Everton sneak through.
