pure arabian.

With the exception of a few a Haydock it seems to set the tone with rest nothing much to write home about for a Saturday

Its been a bit like that all week I think and probably will be next week as well I guess with Royal Ascot on the horizon for the week after next

Yeah, the lull between the Derby and RA is never really that appetising

Welcome back btw, noticed your postings had dropped in recent weeks, hope it was a planned break rather than a forced one?

[Derek27]

There used to be two weeks rather than three, between Epsom and Ascot.

Thanks, yes it was a planned break from the forum for a few weeks that soon turned into a few months, time flies before you know it.

I was still trading throughout.

Good to hear it was planned and to see you back, and hope the markets remained good to you during your forum rest

Here we go

Let's hope the women's final produces

Wrong thread.

Hmm I was a little too eager

It now resides in its intended place

An afternoon of low expectation ends in a decent yield.

5.20 Haydock not tuned in-play until they were well in their stride.

[PDC]

Time keeping by tracks today has been utterly terrible. Barely a UK race off anywhere near to time.

[PDC]

What the heck has been going on in the 1740 at Lingfield?

Crazy charts and SP already set well before the off

I suspect they may have turned the 1740 at Lingfield inplay by mistake looking at what has gone on in that market.

Only 20mins early

[Derek27]

I posted some charts on the FF thread (the forum only allows 3) but if it went in-play early it doesn't really explain why a horse traded at 900 while another traded 1.43!

[PDC]

The SP was reconciled on both the win and place markets well before the race, looking at the charts I would roughly estimate it was around the time the Haydock should have gone inplay. Seems quite a coincidence.

I suspect the chart madness would have then be caused because the market would have cancelled all the unmatched orders when the race was turned inplay. As it happened so far before the off there would have been very little money in the market for anyone to match their orders against, bots won't have known what was going on, the few people manually trading it at that stage may have panicked, it would only take one or two people/bots to have caused those spikes with cross matching causing a lot of the spikes.

Then when the market went back to a pre-race market again there would be virtually no money in the market at the 'current prices' so people/bots could easily have caused more of those spikes.
