I thought it may be appropriate to update you on our horse racing tips for April so far, as we’re nearing the middle of the month.

It’s been a mixed month so far with several winners and several near misses… very near misses, but hey that’s racing. After last months bumper profit from our racing tips, we need to get back in the groove … but this is what’s happened thus far this month…

We began the month with a winner at the Aintree Grand National meeting, with Tartak winning on the Tuesday at 6/1.

In the Grand National itself, you’ll recall that I wrote a post debating the difficulty of racing tips for the National. I finally plumped for Black Apalachi and having lead and looked comfortable for much of the race, he of course fell at Beecher’s second time around when looking good for the win, but this unfortunately happens

Scale Bank also did the business for us at Sedgefield last week, winning at 2/1 for a one point win, but in between those winners we’ve been plagued by that awful affliction of second-itis and third-itis… and very frustrating it is too!

Yesterday we did claw some profit back, with Ffos Las Diamond winning in the 1.55pm at Chepstow, and this was a two point win at 4/1, so got us back some much needed profit.

So that leaves us at 9 points down for the month so far, so not a disaster and a situation that can very realistically be pulled around, starting today we hope.

I’ll catch up with you all with another update later in the month.
