I went to watch the racing at Sandown last night. In the first race I had a small win bet on Presto Leventa which duly obliged at 7/2. Good start. Had a nice pint of beer. In the second race could not make my mind up between Queen’s Best and Killenary Boy. So i decided on a reverse exacta and also 2 single bets. What a start to the evening. Had another beer.
The next race I thought the favourite was too short. So I looked to oppose it, I went with Fishforcompliments and a reverse exacta with the favourite. Matt one of the people in our group went for Massive at 12/1 which proved to be a wise choice. Beers all round.
The next race I sided with Mount Kilmanjaro and Bulwark both proved to be disappointing with Allegreto winning at 12/1 again backed by Matt. I said if he managed to get another 12/1 winner in the next race I would give up gambling. More beers.
I waited patiently for the right price on the next race. One brave bookmaker went 14/1 on Urban Warrior and I snapped it up immediately each way. Nice , more beers.
The final race I had good information about black rock, so again I waited for the 11/8 and I went in large. Unfortunately it ran disappointing. I ended a few quid up after deducting beer, food and admission. So that is 2 race meeting so far this year that have paid for themselves. A very pleasant evening indeed.
