Having been off for the first week of the new year and from 28-30 January, Hugh's record for the first month came in at a small loss of -8.70. Hugh's record since joining At The Races now stands at +1119.09.
Hugh enjoyed an excellent month in February, generating a profit of 56 points to advised odds and hitting the mark with double-figure winners Sole Danser, Makethe Mostofnow and Idol Deputy.
Hugh maintained his brilliant form so far in 2012 with another profitable month in March, making a handsome return of +26.38 on his selections at advised prices.
April was another excellent month for Hugh as he generated a profit of 50.88 points with winners including Mazovian (advised at 16/1), Right Step (14/1) and Scottish National hero Merigo (15/2).
May saw Hugh make it four profitable months in-a-row albeit, the fifth, being significantly lower than his previous three records. A quiet start and middle run ended well with a +24 points gain when Imperial Djay scored at 12-1 giving Hugh a profit of +4.10.
June began with a flurry of big-priced winners, but most of the winnings disappeared as Hugh suffered what has been by far his worst losing run in his four years as ATR's UK tipster, resulting in only a small profit of +7.75 points on the month.
Like many punters Hugh struggled on turf during a rain-sodden July, the sole bright spots coming on the all-weather, notably with big-priced winner Monzino at Southwell. The final tally was a small profit of 5.63 points on the month.
Five winners in August saw Hugh record a profit of +12.98. Three 12-1 winners, Bondi Mist, Blanc De Chine and Trade Storm, were the highlights.
Hugh bounced back to form in emphatic style for September registering a profit of +52.20. After a slow start to the month Amazing Amoray, an 11-1 winner, got the ball rolling. A 2pt win bet on Pastoral Jet at 8-1 was the month's highlight yielding a profit of +15.2 points with 10 other winners to boot.
October was another profitable month for Hugh and his followers, but with 10 runners-up, including five at double-figure odds, it could well have been more than the final tally of +10.2 points, with a bit of extra luck.
Hugh made a loss of -20 points for November, with his overall results for the month featuring nine runners-up at average odds of over 10-1.
Hugh bounced back from the previous month's loss with a profit of +25.33. This left our in-house tipster with another year of profit hitting +222.65. Hugh's rate of return also rose to 1.31 from 1.28 in 2011.
