The volumes today are too low to be believed. Obviously some technical issues.

Derek, you probably already know this - sorry if this is a captain obvious comment, but main action is the Gold Coast Magic Millions meeting today.

It is unbelievable what has happened to the in-play market in Australia.

It is near impossible to get a bet matched anywhere near SP now for a horse near the front. It used to be easy. There's no movement now.

I suppose it's the market becoming more efficient? But how is an expected leader which SPs at $10 reaching $3 before you can even get to the horse (i.e within seconds)? Or is the market now just dominated by people with quick vision who shape the market to their whim?

Edit: Further to what I was saying, there's just not laying pressure now to push prices back towards sane levels, so it just sits there. Take horse this week which jumped at $200 and it lead and the price fell to $6 with plenty of money there to lay at that stupid price. But why is no one taking it? I am assuming the layers have been wiped out.

Saturday starts early down-under, all excited with Randwick and Flemington being on. :D
Probably a bit late for me to add this, but main action at Gold Coast today.
I have mixed results at the big meetings but Rosehill's usually effortless for me. It's not playing ball today.

great session but thanks to GCst/Flem, not rosehill where i lost money this wk, which is p. rare

in reflection for Rosehill this backing activity on higher priced runners would suggest back entry should mostly be taken first there, will keep it in mind for next week

Apologies, I have a bit of an ignorant / silly question regarding Aussie racing... can anyone remind me if there are any special rules or conditions regarding commission or charges for Australian stuff ? I seem to recall there was/is but not sure what.... i'm up early doing the tennis, so thought I'd take a look.

Good to see you around, haven't seen you for a while. Hope you are well?

Yes, charges are much higher and there is a turnover charge for NSW racing, so avoid that generally.
