Sublime Saturday.

It was another fantastic Saturday where out of 8 recommendations, 4 were winners and 4 were full refunds. Workforce didn't run, Bimingham, Inter and Bayern all drew, for full refunds on draw-no-bets. Birmingham was 0-2 down before rallying, but you always expect them to throw all caution to the wind whenever they need a result at home. Inter were quite lucky to escape with a draw against Brescia with a controversial penalty; but that result shows the beauty of the draw-no-bet option; when the team that you fancy is not performing as expected, a draw, however improbable, safeguards your bet from being a losing one. Sunderland and Blackburn were indomitable at home as expected.

In racing, Zenyatta and Goldikova were both in place money so it was a great result. My biggest fear of Zenyatta staying too far behind was confirmed, and it was certainly the cause of her not winning. So the Place recommendation on her was spot on. Goldikova won, and put her race to bed easier than everyone expected. Advising her to Place was synonymous to very easy returns indeed.

After these great week-end results, Monday is pretty quiet on both football and racing fronts. Flat racing season in UK is officially over, but there is still All-weather racing, and for sure I will continue keeping an eye on any serious opportunities that arise.
