Cheltenham day one

17/03/2010 | By More

Well that was interesting to say the least. Half an hour before the first race of the day my internet connection suddenly goes down. Up till that point it was a carefully planned day, but with that, a chaotic period ensued. The internet going wasn’t a major problem as I have back up plans. I have a laptop with mobile broadband, just in case. But I also have back up locations I can switch to. The chaos was simply that I went from a comfortable environment to an uncomfortable one and I only had minutes to do it!

The day was fine overall but it took a little while for me to get into my stride and that meant I fluffed the first race and didn’t get a decent result out of it. But on the day I had a clean sweep on all races including the lesser cards. I got nothing stunning out of the day, depending on your definition of stunning, so I failed to match last year. But given the circumstances, I am pretty pleased. My best individual result I’ve posted below. Even that wasn’t without drama, as the total would have been bigger if I had exited correctly. As it was, I managed to go inplay on that and dropped a little on the total.

Got a mailer from Betdaq last night and they reckoned they matched over £21m yesterday. When I return to my usual workplace today, I’ll be sure to give them a decent stab. I only had two screens to work from yesterday so I didn’t get the opportunity! Today includes seven races, so that will be interesting. But the first race doesn’t look like an opportunity.

Best of luck whatever you are doing, hope you have a good one!
