Today's Horse Racing

[Maturin]

I really dislike the summer jumps card on a Tuesday evening. It's never worked for me!

Yes, I think that might be a lesson for me too Peter - worst ever evening session in my short time! Got absolutely taken to the cleaners tonight!

During courses I would often pick off some of these types of videos to show people just how wrong things could be and what they should be looking at.

Some of the football content I've seen recently has been absolutely hilarious, so far removed from the reality of what I know it's incredible that people put their name to it.

Speaking of courses Peter, are there any plans to restart the masterclass at HQ when things get back to normal? I would definitely be interested, thanks.

Irish racing catches me out all the time. I don’t know why I bother with it but it doesn’t seem right to ignore it.

I rarely bother with them except for the larger meetings, or if they are the only ones on
The few times I do on a regular day I'm very selective over which ones I get involved with

[Snaff]

I think I might have to take your approach to it Dallas. I get involved already knowing that I’m likely walking into a trap

[Snaff]

I have not enjoyed Ayr today. Don’t know about you guys?

You can always scale back your stake or scale out some of your position on those thin markets. When you are looking at smaller losses per tick or have a bigger green behind you it's a lot better psychologically than dealing with it running into the red at the same staking you use for a high quality UK race

Markets have felt a bit soft this week. I've been caught a few times with positions that just don't suit the underlying liquidity.

Haven't really enjoyed today that much.

[Snaff]

I think soft describes it well. Had a couple of trades that could of really took off but it just hasn’t really materialised today. I’m just giving Ireland a miss for now Alex, got enough on over here

I've struggled with pre race to be honest. Are there many of you who trade in running?

Yes pre off is pretty tough. Everyone can pull off a trade but doing that 30+ times a day is a bit of a different animal. Never bothered with in running myself but have seen people with spectacular results. A lad on Twitter is very honest about it, shows big losses and profits. Think goes under the name Doc. Peter may be able to help you.

Started off ok today but disaster after 4:30pm, rough couple of days for me

What changed at 4:30? Race type & weak meetings?

Bit of a clash at 4:30 but the card was just the dogs anyway.

From memory that's the start of a tricky hour or two. Best quality races have gone, winners done and gone, losers lost and gone. And it's poet's day so that doesn't help because by 430 on a Friday you're past your best and mentally clocking off. If there was a worse time to trade I'd like to know it so min stakes or pack up and wait for better. You've been doing this long enough to know all that though.
