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!
