It’s time to thank Marc for his expert insights and suggestions over the past six months.

There was no doubting he ‘pinged the lids’ in the early stages with a phenomenal first couple of months, winners flowed freely. The inevitable dip came with a succession of frustrating short-head seconds, curtailing profits. With a short ‘Indian Summer’ in late June.

Unfortunately Marc had  to take some time off due to ill health and with this in mind it’s been decided to give our Bruge-based boy a seasonal rest for the time being.

Notwithstanding all results were logged to SP (and better prices were often available on the winners), it can be considered a pretty fair effort, overall, to remain not too far off break even.

Totals for six months, February through to July:

Staked 50.00 pts   Returns 46.67 pts   P/L   Loss 3.33pts

That’s a 6.67% loss on investments against a general over-round of 128%.  It’s fair to say that Marc did Beat The Book!
