As a relative newbie, I was wondering if some of the more advanced guys could put up a quick reply of there least favourite tracks to trade, ie the ones that you struggle with consistently to make a profit, Ive started to do this and so far I am struggling with Kempton amd Newcastle (this is only since I started keeping records 8 weeks ago!

I've never kept those sort of records so I wouldn't have a clue! I guess others are the same?

thanks for the reponse rhysmr anyway maybe its just me then and maybe I will look at keeping these sorts of records in the future if they prove useful or not still plently to learn in the meantime, just wanted to if there were particular tracks I will always struggle at. :D

I don't look at courses at all on a broad basis, but on a day like today it's easy to see Newmarket should behave differently to the other courses.

thanks, as these meetings dont come round that often I am not the best at trading them as you say the behaviour is different so sittibg back and watching what happens today with the newmarket races is my call today! :)

Good plan pt9091, or just use small stakes so you get the practice at getting involved in the markets.

I always have a hard time on the big meetings, with all the money matched on them there is opportunity to make huge profits but for me I can never seem to get an angle, especially the grade 1-2 meetings anyway.

As I suspected I found Newmarket very hard today and mostly lost on them.

I found Warwick tricky, sometimes throwing up good opportunities but a little to volatile for me.

Folkestone seemed pretty predictable and I was consistent with.

Yeah I never made much at all today on newmarket, done ok on warwick though and a wee bit on folkstone, I seem to do better on fast moving volatile markets!

Hi P,

I don't know about tracks, in particular, but I tend to do better on Irish racing, to me the movement seems to follow form lines with less "acting the goat" about prices going on, possibly due to the fact that there's less money about so less big players running bluffs etc.

cheers, Pr.

Interesting I tend to do much better just now in the evenings, i put it down to less money being in the markets and as you say everything seems to flow better, and perhaps because there are a good few irish meetings at night, will keep an eye on leopardstown tonight!

I mainly trade in running so track type is very important, if a NH course has one fence/hurdle on the home straight you need to trade it differently to those with three.
