Review of the day

A poor end to the festival for me with no more winners. Total loss today was -20, just couldn’t find a horse to finish first past the post. One or two looked like getting up but just didn’t have enough climbing up the hill. Overall profit for the festival was +7 units. I really blew it over the last 2 days and perhaps should’ve quit whilst ahead, but I’m always greedy and want to get as much as I can, so no regrets. I find it hard to believe I couldn’t pick a winner in the final 2 days, but such is life.
