We had a decent enough run yesterday from ARTHURS SECRET advised at 6/1 it was backed in to 4/1 with a lot of money coming around 9.30-10am for it, again I think tipped elsewhere. It ran as it always does with great credit and consistency and again found one just too good on the day. The horse deserves a win and I sometimes think with these types that you can play a hunch and rather than go down a Grade, pitch it a bit higher in a smaller field, where it might be allowed a longer leash from the front and steal the race against horses more focused on themselves than "the rag" of the race. Maybe a trick worth trying at one of the big New Year Meetings at Musselburgh.

The November Results for Daily Tips are all updated to SP and advised stakes on the website and show a small Net Profit of £152.86, this does include races where at least 3 major Bookies had enhanced odds places and where we actually named and suggested those Bookies, which has always been common practice. Had we level staked to 1 point each way on all the selections (the norm for the month was 1/2 point each way tips and 1/4 point each way mentions) the figure would have been just over £300. It is a step back in the right direction but when you realise that after the outstanding first 6 months that the annual year to date figure is over £5000; then it puts in to perspective the problems especially in July-September period

We will focus on the less successful Elite Tips Results for November tomorrow and share some thoughts about the future direction for David's detailed analysis to optimise that facet of the service, whose tips have been both disappointing, but also on occasions very unlucky.  

With a host of meetings in the next 3 weeks; especially over Christmas period, we will aim to finish 2018 as we started it and fingers crossed for more rain and no snow and ice.
