Sunday 3rd May

2009 Challenge Fund (£12550 - £200 in play unaccounted)
Current stake - £120

So, anyone else sweating on 10k+ should Nashmiah win?!

I'd best do a small hedge on an agonising second, and I'll add Cuis Ghaire to the portfolio despite this morning's weakness.

Salisbury 4:35 looks the place for a bet today though. Rajeh has his perfect conditions today and should give it a good go, and looks slightly underestimated. I'll throw a treble in as well.

Pavilicini's race yesterday paid a huge compliment to High Heeled for the Oaks. I'll start my portfolio there.

Football – a final value fling:

Rainbow View to beat Nashmiah £40 straight forecast
Cuis Ghaire £40 at 14/1
Rajeh £120 win at 5/2
Dark Mischief/Nawaadi/Rajeh £40 to return £1800
High Heeled win Oaks £40 at 25/1

Everton to beat Sunderland £45 to return £135
Charlton to beat Norwich £45 to return £160
Plymouth to beat Barnsley £45 to return £150
£15 treble to return £600

I'm off to Dorset for a couple of days – back Tuesday.





Barking Bets (Banked £1375/Current fund £2275 – 1 bet in play unaccounted)

Think I will hedge a bit on the golf (thanks John), and protect this fund by using the above fund to do it, and add Zach Johnson to the portfolio.
