 Its days like this were patience pay's off
... and a lack of patience ends in disaster with one losing market after another!

I've often given up smoking and done all right on the exchange but I think today's a day when nicotine deprivation has got the better of me, so I'm off to the shops for some cigarettes before trading on Kempton. :D

Absolute disgrace from the BHA. Only fined £250. Yeah, so that will stop it happening again. Understand he could have made a mistake but what pathetic punishment.

"We were happy to take the horse out, but the BHA let us run, which was very kind of them. We're all learning about this and the horse had his operation months before the rule was made."

Agree, that was extremely kind of them!

It might be the break and fresh air but since I started running on nicotine again every market has been a winner so far.

French racing no longer on BF, not much liquidity but they're still showing that dross South American racing so something must be up...

 Still getting caught by fast moves in the markets but overall things are looking better.
Haven't managed to get going so far this year
The pressure will be on in March
Can't wait for March, or the Cheltenham Festival. Dismal month so far.

I have a feeling this will be the most volatile Festival ever.

I do really well on the French group ones but I've never understood why they bother with the day-to-day French racing - hardly anyone bets on them.

Thought the day to day stuff might get a bit eventually (just like the South African) but even some of the obscure ones (India) seem to get more liquidity :lol:

Light-hearted joke ok... :lol:

We know the answer, how many South Africans, French are there in the UK compared to Indians? Police officers have a right here to wear a turban rather then the compulsory police hat. I bet the Jockeys over their f**** don't wear their turbans instead of their ridding skull caps?

JUSTSAYING!

After seeing the forecast of extreme Cold on the way, possible Cheltenham might see some abandonments this year. Unusual cold air set to hit for weeks after this weekend. Happened a few times before, hopefully, they prepare and plan for this in advance.

There's nothing they can do to prepare for a foot of snow. :)

I've looked at the monthly forecast. The ridge of high pressure over Scandinavia ushering in cold Siberian air is expected to stay until mid March, around festival time, when milder air from the Atlantic will hopefully take over. We had this situation 3-4 years ago when it stayed until April but the Cheltenham Festival survived with almost the entire course frost-covered, so lets just hope it goes ahead.
