SIMON NOTT BETTING BLOG: Newbury SaturdayOne of the trails of being a betting writer for hire is staying away from home and my adored family, however last night despite rooming alone, I was welcomed into the rails racing fraternity’s night out at a local Italian. The first big bet was a grand at 15/8 on Mossy Fen Coolio over at Bangor, which was beaten. That was really a crime to bookmaking, but an even bigger crime was committed during the betting. This looked a hot heat betting reflected that with Diamond Street the 7/2 jolly when betting opened. That’s it for Newbury until the winter, unless Ben buys a flat pitch.
