Tuesday

Not much happening in the racing with Lingfield the only survivor. I've one form study bet there, Sire de Grugy at 2.00. Short price though around 1.7 on the machine.

The favourites strategy has also thrown up the same selection so fingers crossed. Here's Timeform's comment:

Smart handicap hurdler who has made a pleasing start to life over fences, winning 2m maiden on debut before finishing second to Captain Conan in Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham. The one to beat.

In the financials, there was a very small gap of about ten pips on the S&P500. I don't normally trade gaps that small but it was starting to rally so I threw a couple of quid down and earned a nice 22 quid in about ten minutes :-) Not a lot but it would be nice if it was always that easy!
