2009 Challenge Fund (£12120- £40 in play unaccounted)
Current stake - £120

Played far too much yesterday. I need to find a “playing bet”, and I'm thinking maybe a version of the Draws bet that has been so successful, would tick many of the boxes. We'll see, starting today.

Dr Fremantle would have conditions more to suit than most his rivals today, despite drop in distance, and assuming the second fave stays in, a drifting 2/1 looks fair. I'm following the maiden Sight Unseen won, which gives us Tactic at Goodwood as well.

Dutch them £135 at better than Evens (so that 1 winner = money back; 2 winners = double bubble; and three winners plus the treble = luvverly jubberly).
£15 treble returning £700.

And we can do some midweek draws as well. I was going to sort out the three most likely play-off games, but we can throw in the Scottish derby, and have another crack at the play-offs tomorrow.

Rochdale/Gillingham £45 draw to return £150
Shrewsbury/Bury £45 draw to return £150
Hearts/Hibernian £45 draw to return £160
£15 treble draws to return £560

And there may be some mileage in the golf if you take Woods terrible course form into account and are prepared to take on Mickelson. So, strictly for interest:
Stenson/Kim/Villegas – all £10ew at 50/1





Barking Bets (Banked £1375/Current fund £2115 – 1 bet in play unaccounted)

The two big races at Chester offer possibilities. Cautious.
