Bit of a drift on Boom The Groom

I'd call more than 'a bit'

[Dallas]

Actually did quite well on the opener

[brimson25]

Of all the festivals Ebor is my least favourite, the large high priced fields are not really my cup of tea but good luck to those giving it a go

I will still be looking at trying to pick off something here and there and i'll be watching the support cards for some overflow

Dallas - I noticed the large high-priced fields. Time for a really dim question - why is York like that? is it the type of racing?

Yes, generally its the type of the meetings held at York, its similar for their 'Dante' festival (which I class as my second least favourite festival) and even during a 'regular' meeting they often run large competitive fields meaning most are high priced so it's not one of my least favourite courses to trade at any time.

Thanks very much

York is very pleasant to trade so far

thousands worth of a lay bet left in play at 9's on the eventual winner great value.

Today I'm playing with some data visualisation.

Here's how much higher and lower each horse traded during the last 10 minutes before the off at York so far.

- Black: price 10min from scheduled off time
- Blue: lowest price from 10min to scheduled off time
- Pink: highest price from 10min to scheduled off time

Why calculate the percentage based on the decimal odds rather than chance/book?

This is just an experiment to view if there are certain kinds of races where it's possible to dutch all selection at X% higher and get matched on all of them before the off.

Book% would confuse me as I mostly think in odds.
