The Salmon money train keeps on rolling fish fiends, as for the 5th month in a row, followers find themselves in profit. In spite of minimal outlay in recent weeks, the coffers continue to bulge to the tune of +35 points for the year.
This means that had you followed the Salmon to a mere £10 per point stake you would be, on average, £70 in profit every month of 2011!
Consider also, that we have two live bets ahead of this weekend's classics and it is safe to say that Salmon sense would encourage even the most hardened cynic to follow.
Enjoy the sun fellow Salmons and enjoy the weekend's racing.
Profit/Loss Update:
2011 P/L = +35 points (up to 01/06/2011)

No Blues for Salmons even though Gunners don't cop
Rejoice fellow Salmons! An intriguing weekend's footy saw Salmon backers net a tidy 14 points courtesy of Birmingham City's relegation to the second tier.
Followers have every right to feel a little aggrieved that our other main antepost footy selection didn't land, with Arsenal snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by finishing 4th having been in the top 3 all season.
Onwards brothers and sisters, for the Salmon must never retreat. There are a handful of interesting races over the coming days, not least the return of Workforce this evening in the Brigadier Gerard. However, here at Salmon HQ we are happy to take Michael Stoute's word that he may need the run and although we expect the Derby winner to be victorious, we will not be getting involved.
Instead we are focusing on the renewal of the very race that Workforce so emphatically and audaciously won last year.
Amazingly The Derby is only 9 short days away, and we believe we've found the answer in a horse that will be familiar to Salmon fans.
Native Khan was second in The Guineas behind the irrepressible Frankel and at 12-1 looks by far the best option in a field we know relatively little about. Carlton House is a solid favourite but makes no appeal at 6-4, whilst Aiden O'Brien's horses could be anything. The other one that has positive vibes around it is Pour Moi, but with more than double the price on offer about Native Khan, we're happy to take on the French raider too.
Sister race to The Derby, The Investec Oaks, also has a market leader taking a big chunk out, and for some, Blue Bunting would represent reasonable value at 2-1.
We’ve come down on the side of Zain Al Boldan however, who looked mighty impressive last time out and could improve further.
Get your bets on now and you will get Best Odds Guaranteed from Paddy Power, who are joint best priced on both animals as the market stands.
Native Khan (The Derby) 12-1 Paddy Power [1 point e/w 1,2,3 ¼ odds]
Zain Al Boldan (The Oaks) 10-1 Paddy Power [1 point e/w 1,2,3 ¼ odds]

Salmon returns for last day shenanigans!
Followers, it has been a long time and for that fish fiends, I can only apologise.
You will be pleased to hear however, that followers will be on a no lose bet tomorrow as Birmingham City attempt to stave off relegation. Advised at the beginning of the season at 6-1, Blues woeful form has seen them slip perilously close to the zone, and we now must back them to stay up to ensure a profit.
Salmons invested 2 points last year and with Hills now going 6-5 for them to stay up, we have to play the percentage game and back them. Chuck 2 points at them to stay up which will get your pre-season investment back plus some loose change. Of course ideally we want the antepost bet to score, which would land a tasty 14 points.
Elsewhere, our Arsenal bet looks to have run out of puff. It seemed unthinkable two months ago that the Gunners could capitulate and Salmon backers can feel very unlucky about the possibility of not nailing the each-way part of that bet for the Prem title. Third would have paid out.
Our World Snooker bet was also slightly unlucky with Ding just missing out on the final and therefore another bookie-bashing.
Birmingham City to stay up (6-5 William Hill) 2 points
