This upcoming 3 runner market with each priced below 4.0 could do anything at this point!

Decided to skip the 3 runner race only to find a 2 horse race next!

Group 2 sprint at Meydan though.

That 3 runner was good fun. 2v1 for most of the market, the third went miles before eventually crashing back in late on

Y, turned out to be quite an obvious and straight forward market once the real money arrived

Suppose I'm gonna have to get used to trading 3 runner markets, another one coming up!

I'm having a ball at Meydan, proper racing, proper field sizes with flu-free horses. :)

Found myself OSing again, justifying it by having a tighter exit :roll:'

Not proper trading markets though, liquidity is very very poor
An upcoming Grp2 at Meydan this hour hasn't even traded 10% of what has been matched on a NFH at Fontwell which starts at the same time

I love markets that are easy to win on, it's more enjoyable trading, even if it won't make you rich.

(Money does come quite late for low-liquid markets).

Back in the UK, this was fairly easy.

Another well backed in late in the 16:30, been a very good trending day, well above expectations this time of year

Just to finish the day off, the hardest part was getting on quick enough!

The G2 at Meydan was £150K at the off compared to Fontwell's £370K.

That's exactly what I mean, that was probably Maydans feature race of the afternoon with £150k prize money for that race Vs one of UK poorest races of the day with just over £2k prize money on offer - yet the NHF still attracted well over double the traded volume.

So Maydan undoubtedly had the 'proper quality racing' but from a purely trading perspective, the weaker liquidity severely limits you.

But you should always play to your strengths and target markets that suit you
