Favourites Phenomenon Update: Candy From A Baby!
Remember World of Sport, dear reader? ITV's lame attempt at competing with BBC's far superior Saturday sports magazine programme had just two things going for it:
1. Dickie Davies, the presenter with the bizarre Cruella Deville silver streak in his coiffed bouffant
2. Bald fat men in leotards profusely sweating over each other in the working mens' clubs of the North
And it was to this latter allusion that I was reminded over the last couple of days, with the familiar refrain of dear old Shirley Crabtree (or 'Big Daddy' to 70's wrestling fans) ringing in my ears as I reached my profit target for the day.
"Easy! Easy! Easy!"
That's how it's been with Favourites Phenomenon (FP, if you will) for the last two days, as I've collected on my very first qualifying race to withdraw my desired unit profit.
In fact, my exposure - having been as high as £75.80 on Sunday - has yet to top a tenner in the two days since, and I've collected a facile three units 'gravy' without turning a hair.
I'll continue to track FP's progress throughout the week, and - in case you want to follow it yourself (ahead of time!) - you can pick up a copy here:
Elsewhere, and I noticed on Saturday that another of my alternative ten ran - and won - in the shape of the Henry Cecil trained Rattan. Sent off a warm 5/2 favourite, he sluiced up by five lengths and the assistant trainer admitted he wasn't even fully wound up. Surely Royal Ascot beckons (Royal Hunt Cup would be my guess).
Less impressive, largely because he ran terribly, was Astrodome who is also one of the ten. He ran this evening, and think has just about finished. He was sent off 7/2 so is clearly expected to do better. Don't write off just yet.
Record to date for the ten is: eleven runs, three wins, four places and four unplaced.
More on FP as the week progresses...
