Normally, I would not bother with the punting contest because there are so many races that I would not bet on; however, since I will scarcely touch York these days with real money, I am sticking a pin in half the fields for a bit of fun. Knowing how historically punter unfriendly the Ebor meeting is I should be looking for some 33/1 shot that will win the competition in one race – perhaps save that for Saturday... 13:55 Moviesta 14:25 Dee Ex Bee (nap) 15:00 Cracksman (if n/r Venice Beach) 15:35 Cliffs Of Moher (if n/r Barney Roy) 16:15 Euchen Glen 16:50 Etefaaq
I should have had a punt on the amount of rain. I would have a winner already. Probably be the only one all day.
If I get points for Edward Lewis being the favourite after El Astronaute was withdrawn, then I have got a 2nd and two winners today. Still a miserable effort. Ah well. Tomorrow might be a case of shutting my eyes and using a pin.
Real favourites day tomorrow by the looks. 1:55 - De Bruyne Horse 2:25 - Actress 3:00 - El Vip 3:35 - Enable 4:15 - Mori (nap) 4:50 - Cristal Fizz
