Tipped up Lujiana in the 1.20 at Southwell Sunday to the amazement of the punters in Corals Bath (I did make quite a bit of noise when he crossed the line at 25/1)
How? A simple matter of the draw bias. Unlike the bias over 5 furlongs at Beverly which is well publicised, the equivalent bias at Southwell is disguised by stall position, number of runners in the race and pace.
Having a big winner (and basking off the profits and the adulation of other punters) has seriously boosted confidence in my capabilities and approach.
However, I hope the gambling gods are not about to exact their revenge proportional to the size of my win!

I trust it was a 5 furlong at Southwell then? Low draw.
Not especially well known. Well enough published, but not well known.
After all – who out of yer racing traditionalists wants the beach racing eh?
