At least my racing fund had Or De Grugy to win yesterday!
I did toy with the idea of a couple of bets today, but again will keep them in their respective funds only. Carlisle play Swansea and I need Swansea to buck up, so I'll continue hedging here with a win bet on Carlisle. 11/8 is only fair odds though.
Racing I can see an each way (near thieving) double on the sand, but need to wait until nearer to make sure both races continue to be the dead eight. Lancaster Lad (2:10 Lingfield) and Solicitude (4:00 Southwell) in a slightly more competitive heat.
Which leaves us with? Yep the golf.
Had Tiger Woods won Doral what price would he be now? Odds on and a few brave souls nudging evens, would be my guess. In fact he finished right on the heels of the leaders despite putting all week like a wombat with chopsticks. I'd have him a shade of odds on to be honest. The bookies have to get him in the book though, the liabilities on a whole host of golfers at big prices would scare the pants off them otherwise. The price is attractive enough to take a few golfers to win in the without Woods market (Ogilvy and a few who you can't see winning but could see being an honourable second, or just your favourites), and still end up with the equivalent of a perfectly acceptable evens winner on Woods, plus a nice hedge and/or possible bonus.
