Three winning favourites on day one, but I still think it was a good day for the bookies.

Best wishes to the connections of the fatalities today.  Very sad to see.   :(

Not a good day for the Irish, not a good for myself lol... I"ve lost a wee bit today, win bets, lay bets, in running, nothing went right, so i"m on form lol :)
Play for the long run and rough it out and bink a double figure SP or two and everything will look rosy again :)

monkeyman:
I"ve got the next 2 days off, so most of my betting for day 2 will be done around lunchtime tomorrow, but 2 bets lept out at me and have been placed tonight:

4.40  - I"ve no idea why, but since its introduction to the festival the Fred Winter Hurdle has been very kind to me. My only usual golden rule for this one is to only look at those who won last time out, but that"s going out of the window this time. Bat Masterson won for the first time 2 races ago in first-time blinkers. Last time out he finished 3rd beaten half a length in a grade 2 despite wandering late on, possibly due to the lack of headgear. Tomorrow the blinkers are back on, he runs off a very reasonable looking mark of 132, has 7 pounds taken off his back courtesy of Maurice Linehan who is apprentice to Jonjo O"Neill and I didn"t have to think too long about taking the price of 29 available on Betfair. 
5.10 - I normally avoid betting on bumpers like the plague, but I"m comfortably in profit on the festival version. Clonbannon Lad sticks out like a sore thumb as he has won 2 from 2 and last time out slaughtered Willie Mullins" Mozoltov by 12 lengths. That beast was under consideration for a run in this race himself until a few days ago, so the 22 I"ve taken about Clonbanan Lad makes me a very happy bunny indeed.

Feel free to mock when they both get stuffed
