Leopardstown

I spent part of the day in leopardstown. A pretty cold day but made all the better by the fact that i was too fuzzy headed from the night before to drive so i walked over t0 the course( I live pretty near) and on the way a taxi driver stopped and gave me and my friend free tickets to the reserved enclosure. A nice way to start the day.. I thought my luck was in . These were my planned bets for the day

1.50 Schindlers Hunt, Win 1st 8/13
2.20 Macs Flamingo, EW 9/1 4th
2.50 Brave Inca, Win 11/8 2nd
3.25 Kazal, Win 11/4 1st


However i ended up doing this due to ill advice from a respected friend/source of mine.

1.50 Vintage Treasure E/W - 12/1 UP - 40
2.20 Macs Flamingo E/W - 9/1 4th -40
2.50 Brave Inca Win - 11/8 2nd -50
3.25 Kazal Win - 11/4 1st ( i backed at 7/2) +175

I ended the day €35 up.

the whole reason i changed my mind on Schindler's Hunt was the fact that the odds available were 8/11 so i thought id better look for value and when my mate told me he had backed Vintage treasure and backed him ante post for the arkle i said what the heck, lets go with it.

If i had backed Schindlers hunt i would have been 115 up, so a costly mistake on my part.

Anyways a good day out was had. I didn't stay for the last 2 races as the cold was getting to me and i didn't fancy anything. Also the headache from the night before was not dissipating (even after a few cures!)
