When you start the day with an odds-on flop you would think your day can only get better. And it did! But first we had to limp through the remainder of the Southwell card with interests in 6 of the 8 races.
There was more than a glimmer of hope when Dubawi Island (advised at 12-1) looked like landing the spoils at it poured it on in the 2:50 but taking a diversion in search of the quickest route back to the stables in the straight cost our selection who ended up under the stand rail and a deficit of just over a length at the line.
Although not a selection for subscribers there was a little more hope that we were not to wide of the mark at Southwell when the starred selection Outpost, also available at 12-1 earlier in the day held on in the 3:20 to land the spoils at 6-1.
The start of the Kempton card appeared to be more of the same and 2 point selection Horsted Keynes (available at 8-15) did little other than assist in damage limitations.
When your final 2 point selection of the day is rousted out of the stalls and falls to the back of the field. Is being nudged and cajoled throughout the race and then drops out the back of the television in the straight you would think that it was game over for the day.
But not today! The 2 point selection was Teolagi advised at 14-1 overnight and came with a withering run in Kempton Parks 7:25 to get up by the narrowest of margins in one of those photo finishes that are hard to call in real time.

I have heard the expression ‘what a difference a day makes’ but 'two seconds' changed my day. On reflection I appreciate that the strike rate for the day was pretty dismal BUT you try spending a strike rate! Its all about P&L not strike rates.
n.b. I am aware from emails received that very few got 14-1 and 9-1 was the average as the horse was being heavily punted overnight. I think that this is an unusual circumstance but in the hope that it will give more subscribers the opportunity to get the first opening prices, where the following days runners are not reliant on the results of the day I will start to post selection as soon as I have completed the process. This will usually be mid to late afternoon.
Good luck today
Dubawi Island (yellow and black) backed from 12-1 to 4-1 takes a diversion after leading in to the straight.

Jamie Spencer and 14-1 selection Teolagi to the rescue
