Yesterday's NAP Fiscal Policy ran well and finished second at Newmarket. Sierra Sands, ridden by Ryan Moore for Ed Dunlop and sent off at 6/1, won the race by a length. Fiscal Policy went off as the 7/4 favourite on the day — the market had contracted significantly from the 5/2 shown on the card — and ran prominently throughout before being outpaced by the winner in the final furlong.
The each-way recommendation covered exactly this outcome. Second in a race paying places means the place part of the bet returned. Those who backed each-way collected on the place, turning what would have been a losing win bet into a small profit.
The form case had been sound — course and distance form confirmed, back in form recently, only 2lb higher than when placed last time. Sierra Sands at 6/1 ran a length clear and was the better horse on the day. The selection ran to its form. It was beaten by one that ran above expectations.
The Pattern in Recent Days
Pureis King won at Ffos Las on Tuesday. Altareq placed third at Carlisle on Wednesday with the each-way collecting. Fiscal Policy placed second at Newmarket on Wednesday evening with the each-way collecting. The process is producing consistent placed form even when the win eludes. That is what each-way cover is designed to capture.
