Amateurs at the Post

Ten Down let me down. He folded quite tamely when challenged late on.

Monday was a very quiet day for the (4) and (5) graded races - all three being successful. There was one (5) race won by Doeslessthanme - which a monkey could have selected as a (5) race and there were two (4) races won by a clear top rated and a clear 2nd top rated horse.

There was a rather a silly question on the Racing Post website about changing the way you choose a Grand National bet in the wake of Mon Mome's 100/1 success. If you have read my 2nd April blog you'll know why I think this inane question is not worthy of the website or the newspaper. It is a question only amateurs would ever dream of asking. It says a lot of how the Racing Post views its general readership.

Tuesday is a day I will look to leave alone unless I spot something very solid in a (4) graded race close to the off - which I probably will.
