Today's Horse Racing

[Euler]

£400k for a group three

[Naffman]

Not really any other sport on either, good/firm ground in most places too, hmmm.....

[Euler]

Just ran the numbers for the same day last year, average turnover was £500k per race, £1m for the group race

[Euler]

Really odd, I could 'feel' the markets were weaker but the numbers prove it. £385k on average vs £503k last year on same day. Really odd.

[Naffman]

You at all concerned long term?

[Dallas]

Thats a big drop esp with no obvious reason

[Euler]

You at all concerned long term?

Overall volumes have been fine, but something wrong in the last two days. For some reason.

Yarmouth 4.55 7f Novice stakes, at post time £95k traded. Don't remember seeing so little for a 'main' UK race.

Beverley 5.10 1 mile handicap, 10 mins out £40k traded. The big moves today are happening in the dying seconds before the stalls open.

Maybe Benidorm is especially cheap this year?

I cringed when I saw the Yarmouth amount

Would you say Eulur, that, that wouldn't be a bad thing for in running traders, close finishes betfair might be inclined to trigger a lot off bots with there cross matching to boost there comission,i find that if there is more then 600k matched it takes a lot to get three under 1.5 but if only 250k matched there are more then you would think hitting low in running,

Evening seems better

[Euler]

It does, utterly confused

[Samo154]

Some big fish on holiday?

[ShaunWhite]

First decent weather for weeks, moderate racing and too much of it, big meeting next week, lull after a busy spell, Peter sowing the seed in peoples' heads about taking a little holiday....it all adds up. Drip drip drip.

Those bigger turnover StdDev numbers have to happen sometime I guess.
