Well, June has been a challenging month for my horse racing tips, of that there is no doubt. We did have a really tough Royal Ascot, but we managed to salvage some points from the festival.

Just when we’ve gotten some momentum we’ve hit a brick wall, but the past two days have gotten us back to profitable ways so I hope that you’ve all ridden the storm.

I say that because this is where so many punters that I now make a BIG mistake; they have a few losers and then either don’t place another bet, or they look to change their strategy.

This, as I say is a BIG mistake - HUGE in fact.

You must, absolutely must stick to your strategy - whether this is the horses that you select or your staking amount - you should not deviate away from what has gotten you success in the past. At the end of the day horse racing is gambling, and (unfortunately) a few losers are to be expected.

So, yesterday we hit back with Fastnet Storm (who we advised at 5/1 so I hope you got on that price) winning the 3.10pm at Pontefract for a one point win. This was an impressive win for the Irish horse and fully justified the information that we got for him, as his price came in during the late morning and the SP ended up at 11/4.

The second bet we advised yesterday was Mr Crystal in the 4.10pm at Pontefract. The Micky Hammond trained gelding ran a great race but was pipped on the line by a neck by the impressive Markington, who had started slowly but came on strong late-on to deny us a double on the day.

So a decent day with 3 points profit on the day, and we’ll be looking to continue this form up to the month end with some exciting meetings coming up.
