Newmarket July Meeting – Day 1

Today is the first day of the Newmarket July Meeting.  The weather won’t be as nice as it has been, but I think I’ll take the Lotus.

Here’s my PlacePot for the day.

• 13:30 – Cumana Bay, Balaagha
• 14:00 – Shamwari Lodge, Run for the Hill
• 14:35 – Capercaillie, Habaayib
• 15:10 – Goldikova, Spacious, Rainbow View
• 15:45 – Emerald Commander, Liquid Asset
• 16:20 – Beauchamp Xerxes, Manifest, Reportage

My late wife was a dab hand at PlacePots!  Over a year she always won something.

I’ll post the honest results later.

• 13:30 – 1 place
• 14:00 – Nothing
• 14:35 – Nothing
• 15:10 – 2 places
• 15:45 – Nothing
• 16:20 – 1 place

A complete disaster. 

But then if I’d got it right I’d have won £1965.20 for a pound stake.  As I only bet at 10 pence a line, this would mean I’d have won £196.52 for each one.  These are very high dividends as a lot of the placed horses were outsiders.

I’ll try again tomorrow.
