Bank holiday bonanza

Bank Holiday race cards are fraught with difficultly. Lots of races, generally low quality, going off one after another. Picking and choosing your targets is spectacularly difficult and I often wonder
whether they are worth the time and effort. Also, you need to have a break and working bank holidays could be argued as a poor use of time, either that or your have turned into a compulsive gambler.

This time round we were more fortunate. Where the weather killed us last week it helped out on Monday. With two meetings off, the card look much more useful than with a full card and that's the way it worked out. There were some good opportunities in there as well. I managed an excellent result at Kempton overall, of which the following was my favourite. Drifting from 4's to 6's is a 200% return on a position on its own but, as you can see on the chart, this often doesn't occur in a straight line, on this occasion I managed to call things just right.
