One step forward, two steps back ....

Evening All,

Another losing day yesterday with just the 2 winners, although if you shop for better prices there was a third there as well. It's frustrating but that's how punting is - I just need to find a little more consistency and a few more winners.

The winners yesterday were

Caulfield Race 5 - Driffield Gold @ $2.20 (rated $1.40)

Doomben Race 5 - Apache Cat @ $3.20 (rated at $2.80)

Great to see Apache Cat win another Group 1 race and crack the $4 million in prize money, a very popular horse.

Here are the summaries

Overall - yesterday

Out - $577
In - $274
Loss - $303
Quinella loss $3
Exacta Profit $48
Trifecta Loss $51

Melbourne Only - yesterday

Out - $257
In - $160
Loss - $97
Quinella Loss $1
Exacta Profit $9
Trifecta Loss $211

Overall

Out - $9487
In - $9018
Loss - $470 (LOT 4.95%)
Quinella Profit $182 (POT 10.72%)
Exacta Profit $464 (POT 13.66%)
Trifecta Loss $2305 (LOT 22.60%)

Overall - Melbourne Only

Out - $5380
In - $5174
Loss - $206 (LOT 3.83%)
Quinella Profit $104 (POT 10.88%)
Exacta Profit $107 (POT 5.55%)
Trifecta Profit $66 (POT 1.14%)

Some bright spots but lots of improvement needed as well.

In the ratings challenge I've held second spot but fallen a bit further behind. Luckily prices for the challenge are the best available so I hit one winner - Darth in race 6.

Table is

Len - $1062.45
Me - $707.21
Cabbie - $550.37

John L - ($496.98)
Ken - ($646.64)
John D - ($1520.51)

4 weeks to go so plenty of time - I need to find more winners!!!

Swans and Raiders both had wins today - GO YOU GOOD THINGS :)

Have a great week

G'day Davo,

I needed him to pay a couple of dollars more - if you feel good about one, have a crack :)

Hope the cards are falling your way
