Australian racing

Group one was my best market in what's been a roller-coaster of a morning, disappointing for a Saturday down under.

Better than it will be in the UK today!

That's good on the G1, but I agree otherwise disappointing.

Liquidity doesn't feel great today considering how good of a meeting it was

Agree - there was not enough liquidity (for me) in the G1 or the predecessor Caulfield race.

Linked?

Can't transfer funds between wallets this morning, so having to work with a tiny balance in Australia. Thanks Betfair.

Good point, all Euler's fault. Ha ha.

In a bit of a rage I punished the SP at Doomben just now. I'm ok now though - he says.

And, to just say it out loud, I'm off Queensland racing now (apart from bots). No more manual Queensland.

Tonight's poor liquidity made Caulfield more volatile than usual which lead to me getting hammered in a couple of markets. I'm actually looking forward to Naas after this.

In all seriousness it can't be helping, as I would think if Peter needs a large bank that he doesn't have access to from bank accounts for his normal trading (as per my comment in the other thread) it would indicate he normally accounts for a fair amount of liquidity in the markets. This money missing will have a multiplier effect on the liquidity.

If you think you said you can account for 2 - 4% of matched volume I would hazard a guess Peter accounts for at least that if not more, add in the multiplier effect and a fair chunk soon disappears from the markets.

Peter would be able to give us a better indication of how much of the missing liquidity he would normally account for obviously.

You can usually get some nice moves in the Aussie night stuff (Toowoomba, WA, Melton), surely better than Naas

Really wish SSR would stick with the coverage until 8am rather than showing Sky Sports News from 7am

I wasn't on the early markets manually so if those were weak as well it was probably a more general market thing. I'd say was fairly easy to be 2-4% of the market.

[PDC]

I'd say was fairly easy to be 2-4% of the market.

Yes I agree, I would expect you to be considerably more than that quite often. I know I can be much more than 2-4% quite easily and I wouldn't class myself in your league of stakes.

[Naffman]

I don't think anyone no matter how good they are can put too much through these markets

[PDC]

I found the first hour poor, just breaking even on it but that was very much down to my own errors rather than the market.

I found the last few hours very good though which ended up the session as one of my best ones in the last few months which given the improvement in racing quality I was expecting.

Looking forward to next Saturday, not just because it may be the only decent trading in the next week but more so for the return of Winx

Fri/Sat.

I'd advise acoiding Pace/Harness/Trot markets as the price moves closer to the start are based on the position of the horse (similar to In-Play). These races will be at the same courses and usually scheduled at 'odd' times e.g. 02:37 or 04:54 rather than on the 5/10 minute mark.

Thanks. Is there a site / resource which tells me. The historical volume matched for these races?

+1 (well that's my story and I'm sticking to it).
