Transfer breadline

I suppose the way Plymouth Argyle are playing at the moment, it was too much to expect any excitement on transfer deadline day and indeed the only activity was full back Chris Barker going to Southend. So we now wait for the loan window to re-open but at least there's no game for us this Saturday after last week's lamentable 3-0 defeat home to Peterborough, who I can see winning League One.

The horses did little better for me on Saturday but yesterday I was at Newton Abbot and backed a couple of winners, at 7-2 and 8-1 so came home well in profit.

Today there is a horse at Lingfield that interests me at 9-2, Bombadero in the 2.50 maiden race. This one has had seven runs with a couple of seconds and has been a disappointing favourite more than once but John Dunlop may have found the race to get his head in front, dropping him to 11 furlongs. He has twice been ahead entering the last furlong over 12F only to be overhauled on the run to the line so this unusual distance of 1m 3f might do the trick and he is at a decent price.

Happy punting one and all!

Postscript: This damn horse should have run away with this race but having got blocked on the rail he then proceeded to throw his head about once in the clear. He then decided to run on before again messing about before finally getting going again and losing by half a length. Some horses just don't want to win and this is clearly one of them!
