Today's Horse Racing

[wearthefoxhat]

I personally think ITV Racing is the best coverage of any sport, they absolutely nail it. In relation to finding winners/prices, betting is recreational for 99% of people and all the racing channels presenters provide us with their opinions and information like pricing it's up to the punter how they interpret them.

I can see that.

I prefer there to be racing on terrestrial TV than not. There's always gonna be something about a product that someone has an opinion on and would see things differently.

Getting the right balance ain't easy, but they do okay overall.

[Fugazi]

Markets only exist because there's a difference of opinion.

It only takes a few tail swishes to indicate that it's not particularly happy and the hive mind isn't usually wrong. TPD doesn't tell you the horses demeanor so the market is still the best guide and if it said 12/1 then it most likely was 12/1 at that moment.

Yeah just trying to build my skills and figure out what else I need to be looking out for

You could do worse than stick ITV Racing on now and listen to AP McCoy review horses and races in-running. He's just reviewed Ballyburns run at Kempton.

Easy to see why he's the GOAT.

It was set for the perfect match race in the first today too. Never seen such a coin toss market in a horse race before.

I'd have to dig through the archives, but there was an amazing race a few years back. I'm sure they started at evens and it ended in a dead heat. I kid you not!

[Euler]

Sandown, WIncanton and Cork abandoned.

Only Southwell & Wolverhampton left, for the moment.

God bless Thommo, racing will be poorer when he retires he's a proper horse racing man. This is my favourite Thommo moment though

Och, that’s a terrible shame. I’ve always enjoyed Thommo’s commentaries. Age catches up with us all in the end.
