Hail! Clash Harmonica...
...winning the Nottingham Eclipse in a stunning time of 29.50 by 4 1/4 lengths from Broadacres Rob; Zigzag Dutchy ran third.

I was disappointed that Broadacres Rob - the dog I had bet at 33/1- was beaten but at least I managed to pick up the each way money.

I would have made a profit of 3 1/4 points except that I put 2 points saver on Eye Ofthe Veto at 4/1. It was last.

So my final tally was 1 1/4 points profit. Not much; but at least it was free betting; it was Broadacres Rob that saved me by winning its heat in the semi-final and picking me up 7.25 points in the final.

I'll be on the lookout for something more soon...in the meantime...

Come racing!!
