KEMPTON PARK RACES 2017 -- WEDNESDAY NIGHTS #25 27th SEPTEMBER

Welcome to our twenty fifth meeting of 2017 here at Kempton Park and after successful week last time out we have made a small dent in our losses for the year and come into this week with a sum of -25.42 points to level stakes at SP. Losing about 3 - 4 points a month throughout the season isn't that terrible (ok, yes it is) and I think we'd be a bit better off than we are with the number of winners that we pick up since January by taking early prices online however we record to SP and that will remain. It will be interesting to see how the final part of the year plays out.

As we continue to focus on the handicap contests for each meeting we will also occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too. Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1pt level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds but for the purpose of these results here we simply record to SP returns.

We will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of short priced favourites too, we were successful with our last selection, another beaten favourite, and we will see if there is another selection for tonight. Naturally we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures. 

This Wednesday is our twenty fifth meeting for 2017 and we are expecting an eight race card tonight with only the concluding three handicaps to enjoy, tonight's action will commence at 17:40 with a 7f Nursery. 

Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; RACECARD

The going on the polytrack surface is described as 'standard' and the current weather forecast is for a cloudy day with a chance of some rain, expecting a max temperature of about 21C when the meeting gets underway.

LAYS -- After last week's successful lay of another favourite we now stand at 10 from 15 successful lays for this season, just 5 wrong all at short odds before tonight. Got them both wrong tonight looks like a favs night sadly, the numbers are now 10 from 17.
