Mixed Fortunes

While my Lewis bet suffered what could turn out to be a devastating blow yesterday in China the magnificent steed that is Dylan Thomas (above) won th Arc in France by a fast diminishing margin but he has had a very hard season. So called wonder horse Authorized was beaten out of sight which I said would happen all along & got funny looks for. He was never an Arc horse. I just got this feeling & I try not to ignore my instincts especially when it comes to horses & bets!

Anyway our syndicate had the gorgeous Dylan as a 12-1 ante post bet as Top Dog agreed with me that it was too tempting a price NOT to have a punt way back in the beginning of August. No the wonder I have a Cheshire cat like grin today! It also means I can round off my time with the guys with a win. With my share I'm putting down a deposit on the Dior watch I enquired about last week. I also have hopefully (not helped any by this bloody postal strike) paid off my credit card bill in full with Lucarno's Leger money so I still have a healthly looking racehorse fund. Well I could afford a cheap grade F all weather claimer at any rate. But I'd still love him all the same.

Ciao for now xx
