Record run ends..

Well it had to stop sooner or later and it turned out to be sooner! I had tr0uble getting anything decent out of Chester all day and it was that race meeting that stopped my run at 82 in row, with a frustrating loss early on in the day. I ended up just failing to break even on the race, losing less than £1 but it was enough to stop the winning run. I could have laid something in-running to avoid the loss but it’s just not in my rule book to chase a loss, no matter how small, so I just had to accept that it was the end of the run.

It turned out to be my only loss of the day and had I avoided it, I would have topped 100 by the close of the day. As it is, I now have to go on another monster run to stand a chance of getting anywhere near my new record. It was a good day over all and a good week. Much better than I had anticipated given my problems in previous years with this meeting.

It’s nice to get such a good start to the month as this month is short on really big meetings. If you want to know where the key fixtures are, the BHB have a decent list at their web site, have a nose so you can plan ahead a bit.

Any how, I am going to have a really relaxing Sunday after a busy week so I hope your week has gone well and I look forward to chatting early next week.
