2009 Challenge Fund (£12455- £200 in play unaccounted)
Current stake - £120


Football – we'll stick with our play-off draws – two more and we land the four fold!
Today I nearly backed Bolton, and Fulham look a fair price also, but on reflection I'll pass..


Golf: Tiger lurking as John says. But as my fave Kevin Na is also there he'll be the subject of my hedge, £10ew at 28/1, with Stenson still batting. I was going to include Poulter in my original list, so this tournament could end up a bit of a sickener (which is normal for golf!)


Racing:
These 3 or 4 balls have started off well. Let's continue, with Haydock providing most the interest.
Haydock 3:05 – Tight little race but City Style and Ordnance Row are opposable on my prices, and 7f specialist Vitznau could be the one as long as the going isn't too quick.
Haydock 3:40 – Kingdom of Light – lot to like about his debut, and can use experience to good effect – and should improve for step up to 6f.
Haydock 4:50 – Redford (pipeopener) and Zidane (in decline) are opposable at prices, and Tamagin could make a bold bid here.
Thirsk 6:10 – Gertmegalush went in everyone's notebooks on debut and his main opponent is cramming the races in.

Something like:
Vitznau £40 to return £250
Kingdom of Light £50 to return £250
Tamagin £50 to return £250
Gertmegalush £90 to return £250
£10 fourfold to return £3500+
(I'll make the fourfold my weekly get rich quick bet as well)

As for Ascot the best I can come up with is a couple of darts at outsiders who need to bounce back off moderate all weather form, but do have their conditions.
Nazima £10 ew at 50/1+
Alnwick £20 win at 14/1
£10ew double.
