Well that was a session that won't last long in the memory. Role on Boxing day!

Enjoy the next few days off and Merry Christmas to all on the forum!

P.S. Just noticed this thread has now almost been viewed 1,000,000 times :shock:

My spreadsheet says: -

There are 786 runners today over 77 races, an average of 10 runners per race.
Based upon long-term averages today's racing is likely to exhibit above-average volatility against what we would typically expect to see.
If all races start on time, then there will be 18 clashes today. If races start on their average start time (usually later than post time) then we could see 42 clashes.

Morning Euler. Hope you had a good Christmas?

All those potential clashes, eh? Nearly as bad as all the clashes on the t.v. over Christmas! ;)

I've quite enjoyed Kempton and just pulled out my best result of the day on the KG, so good I'm going to skip the last and return to the family, good luck to those continuing

Hi Dallas, glad you've had a good 'un!

I've done okay (low stakes, 20% up on 'bank') but am still finding myself relying far too much on in-running results (maybe thats my forte?).

Hope you've had - are having - a nice Christmas?

All the best
George. :-)

I was pretty happy with the day overall. I think I could have done better but given what felt like weaker markets I was happy.

Relatives have all gone out this afternoon so I'm making the most of the opportunity. :)

I've often enjoyed the day after boxing day, off to a rough start but pulling it together now.

Big chunks of money keep appearing at Leopardstown. No pattern to them it seems.

Always cautious at Leopardstown, even the grade ones can get very volatile.

Didn't fancy getting involved in this one.

Moved a couple of ticks in the dying seconds.
