Horse Racing, Rugby League and Golf

Another near miss day. We did the right things but didn't quite get things going for us. First rugby league bet of the season tonight as my side, Wakefield take on Leeds.

1.55 Fakenham Cayman Calypso 5/1 (LOST +8.73 - ran in patches? Warren marston went too soon? Not sure but certainly didn't win)
Cayman Calypso has had a couple of very ordinary runs over the all weather in the last two months but his showing in handicap and maiden hurdles last year was decent enough to believe he should go close in this seller. Mrs Sly's horses have performed well in the last week too, so this has every chance.

8 Leeds to beat Wakefield by 5-10 11/2 (LOST +7.73 - reality check for Wakefield in the first half killed this bet, but they did recover to play an even second half, but the game wa gone by then)
Leeds have started the season well and showed their class with a 30-10 victory over Huddersfield last week. Wakefield however, showed they are no pushovers this season, beating Bradford by 2 points. Leeds are a better outfit than Bradford so are rightly a short price tonight, although I don't expect them to run away with it. 1-5 is an option, but 5-10 makes more sense to me.

8.45 Furyk 3-ball 6/5 (LOST +5.73 - bad couple of days for us and for Jim. Cut missed)
If you had backed Jim for his 3-ball yesterday you would have lost by 1 shot to JJ Henry. And yesterday he was Evns. So today he's 6/5. Ok, Henry shot +4, Furyk and Pavin +5, but Furyk won't do that twice so take advantage.
