Weather there is opportunity
Despite the poor weather and disruption to the sporting schedule there are still a lot of opportunities around. Yesterday seemed a surprisingly good day on the racing and Meydan helped a lot, no snow in Dubai! This morning there was some Aussie racing on first thing, so that’s set me up nicely for this afternoon.
I live not too far from Newbury and when I rose bright and early this morning I walked out to the nearest field, which was covered in snow, and when my foot couldn’t break the surface and given the forecast, I figured that Newbury would not go ahead. So I’ve made more betting on ‘will racing go ahead’ than I probably could have done at the meeting. Shame to see the meeting abandoned but this sort of bet is a nice hedge at this time of year. Sometimes some of the best opportunities are literally on your doorstep!
Last night was the premier league darts as well and we had some absolutely cracking matches. Some of the best darts I have seen in a while. The last match of session went from 6-0 up to a 7-7 draw, fantastic stuff. It was well worth the effort of tuning in on Thursday evening and I’ll be back again for some more if I have the opportunity.
I tweeted my activity in the darts and also my thoughts on the racing at Newbury, so tune into twitter if you want timely information. That said it’s half term next week so I expect I will probably be a bit quieter while I spend some time with the kids.
