We wrapped up a solid week and finished the month in great style—plenty to look forward to as the jumps season steps up a gear!
Just a reminder that I won’t be trading tomorrow. I always take one day a week to unplug and focus on family. My philosophy is simple: if you can’t build a successful living in six days, a seventh won’t fix the problem. Maintaining that balance is exactly what keeps us sharp for the long haul.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!
30th October 2026
Tougher grind today than it looked on paper, but happy to secure a few quid profit safely. One day left of what’s been a really solid month.
29th October 2026
28th October 2026
It has been a steady day, and I’m wrapping up a bit early to attend my granddaughter’s performance at the Town Hall. Heading into the final days of the month on a positive, green note makes this a wonderful way to end the day.
27th October 2026
A bit of a slow day with lots of waiting between races, but happy to walk away with a couple of decent trades.
26th October 2026
A fantastic start to the week for both our members and myself. With today’s session delivering a simple trade at a good price early in the session then, I am more than happy to lock in our profits and wrap up early. It is the perfect way to kick off the final week of what has already been a highly successful month.
24th October 2026
It was a solid day to wrap up a steady week for both the members and myself. As we head into the final week of what has been a highly successful month, anticipation is already building for the upcoming jumps season.
There will be no trading for me tomorrow. I make it a point to take one day off each week to unplug and spend quality time with my family. My philosophy has always been simple: if you can’t build a successful living trading six days a week, adding a seventh won’t fix the problem. Striking that balance is what keeps us sharp for the long haul.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Had a few days of trading as been working on moving my database that I use for my time performance figures from Raceform Interactive to Proform and it hasn’t been easy but all done now, this is something that I use for my personal betting, nothing to do with trading although I am hoping to produce daily selections for members, not trading just betting and taking nothing away from my trading but hopefully it may be something going forward that members will find fun and all being well make a few quid as part of Bfp, having said all that. looked at a few races today and got a few quid wages to get the month underway.

A decent day to take us into the weekend, an unusual trade hence the uneven strange screenshot, doesnt happen very often usually dont get matched but did catch a bit on the faller so the offsets were matched at a 1000 hence the uneven green but then trading another horse later in the race which was a simple straightforward trade as we head into the last few days of whats has been a decent month.

25th August 2026
The last two days cards have looked very uninspiring, but you never know when opportunities will appear, the most important thing is to sit waiting patiently, with mind, confidence, and bank intact for when they do, and they have the last two days to give members and myself a decent start to the week as we head to finish off the month well.

7th August 2026
A day to test the patience and discipline but it was rewarded with a few quid out of the day, this period between Goodwood and The Ebor isnt the most inspiring and its the time of year where those lacking in discipline can get punished so its important to keep mind bank and confidence intact during these periods.

5th August 2026
A blank day today but happy with that, only looked at 2 races as it wasnt the most inspiring days racing so as its been a decent start to the month happy to keep mind, bank and confidence intact and wait for better looking days. These are the days that make the biggest difference long term to your p&l even though nothing goes on the p&l as the cost of discipline is always less than the cost of lack of discipline and going looking for trades on bad days doesnt end well, long term.
4th August 2026
Nice simple trade to keep the start to the month ticking over nicely.
3rd August 2026

29th July 2026
Not the best of days racing from a trading perspective and as we go into the last few days of what has been a good month was more than happy to protect the wages and just enjoy watching what has been some great racing and for me the race of the season in the sussex stakes and as an added bonus did get a small trade to top up the wages.

24th July 2026

16th July 2026
Bit of a boring days racing and was a day for patience and discipline so happy to get a few quid out of the day and spend some time in the sunshine in the garden.
15th July 2026
Wasnt expecting much today, so happy to get a decent few quid wages in and pull up stumps as we carry on the good start to the month with lots to look forward to for the rest of July especially The Galway festival at the end of the month and can now enjoy the rest of the day and look forward to watching the football this evening. Good Luck England.
14th July 2026

9th July 2026
Back to it today, a few quid wages out of the day, and in plenty of time to watch some good racing and enjoy some time in the garden, when the weather is nice, which wont last long in the North of England, I find it hard not to look out of the window at the sunshine and keep concentration so an early trade and enjoy the day is the best of both worlds.
8th July 2026
A Blank day today but didnt look at much as it was my granddaughters 7th birthday and a paddling pool and hosepipe were invloved which was far more fun and important, with over 14,000 races a year, the racing will still be there long after Niamh is to old to want to chase granddad around the garden with a hosepipe and a bucket of water. Back to it today.
7th July 2026
A blank day yesterday but didn’t look at many races as wasn’t the best looking days racing and I think everyone was still tired after watching the football, back to it today and we managed to get a few quid wages with a simple trade to keep July ticking along nicely.

A day to test the patience with racing all over the place starting at breakfast time and thunderstorms etc so was important to have a plan as it always is. We avoided the morning races and just looked at a few from mid-afternoon and that patience was well rewarded with the first 4 figure green for a while to take us nicely into the last few days of what has been a decent month.
25th June 2026
A bit of a strange day, with a couple of meetings this morning and then one all-weather meeting this afternoon so just ended up looking at a couple of races at tea time and got a few quid wages out of the day to carry on what has been a decent month as we head into the last few days of June.

Bank Holidays are my least favourite days to trade as far to much going on and hard to keep concentration so happy to get a few quid wages out of the day and head into the garden with a cold drink.
2nd May 2026
Nice start to the month for members and myself, also enjoyed just watching some great racing with a great performance for the guineas winner and managed to enjoy some warm sunshine in the garden. No trading for me tomorrow, I like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I can’t make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference. Have a good weekend everyone.

A blank day today, we dont do trades just for fun, its about making safe consistent profits and most importantly we kept bank, mind and confidence intact and todays patience and discipline will be rewarded at some point, maybe tomorrow, maybe later in the week although April has been a very good month and we will wait for better opportunities.

We all got one in early today so as shattered having been up all night, long story, going to keep the wages safe and just enjoy watching Cheltenham with a cuppa. We have had a steady week, chipping away getting a few quid wages in and it all adds up to a good first half to March.
12th March 2026
Not the most exciting days racing at Cheltenham, have felt the meeting seems a bit flat and not the usual buzz but it could just be me, anyway got a few quid wages out of the day to keep the month ticking over nicely and as an added bonus that has made my day and Cheltenham from a member that joined over Christmas and done everything the right way and its lovely to see them getting the rewards for their hard work.
A lovely message from a member this evening that has worked hard and studied all the content and gone nice and slowly. It does give me a lot of pleasure to see members heading in the right direction. Wont embarrass them with their name but. Well done.
11th March 2026
A blank day today, although there was only one race at Cheltenham worth looking at, the rest were all very big field handicaps, so very happy to keep the powder dry and wait for better days. The most important thing is to protect the bank and confidence at all times and make sure we are still in the game tomorrow, many wont be and those big field handicaps are for the boom and busters, we will just sit, enjoy the racing and wait for easier opportunities.
10th March 2026
Kept the powder dry yesterday to be in good shape for the start of The Cheltenham Festival and members and myself ended up getting a nice trade at Sedgefield but it pays the same amount whatever the course so we will take the wages for the day. Will just look at one more race today The Champion Hurdle as will be able to use bigger stakes if I can get one at Cheltenham this week it will be a big one but happy with the days wages so far and keeping that safe comes first.
Nothing in The Champion Hurdle but just need to catch one this week and it will be a big one, in the meantime will chip away for some wages.
