My Flat Season 2022

STRADIVARIUS

Hello.

First, a tribute to 8yo Stradivarius, winner of a record 20 Group races, including three Gold Cups, and two £1000000 bonuses for exceptional staying performances in successive seasons. A true star, beloved by racing enthusuasts. Enjoy your retirement superstar!

So, how did my 2022 season go? Well, I did less betting and only got to two live meetings, at York on Nunthorpe day and to Catterick where a fruitless afternoon of excellent racing actually cost me an overall profit for the season!

I had 19 winners, including Pogo twice, Escobar at 20-1, and Alcohol Free and Intrinsic Bond both at 14-1, the latter giving Tracy Waggott her greatest win in Ripon’s Great St Wilfrid Handicap.

Overall, I had a loss of 7%.

Recap over the years….

2015 season….profit 25%

2016 season….profit 5%

2017 season….loss 6%

2018 season….loss 16%

2019 season….loss 14%

2020 season….profit 3%

2021 season….profit 4%

2022 season….loss 7%

So, over the last eight years….

4 winning years

4 losing years

Pretty well quits!
