Surprised there isn't a market about Friday going ahead. I would think it has to be odds on that it doesn't.
I would think they would say from Monday, so businesses have some time to adjust.
Should know fairly soon but Ireland are bringing in the changes overnight tonight and that seems to be what other countries are doing.

Having thought a bit more about it I think they would try to run it behind closed doors.

Word seems to be that the UK government are sticking to their softly softly touch, guess we will know in the next few hours.

If it's a 500 limit like the Irish then it should be run behind closed doors - everyone would lose too much money otherwise

Surprised to see Elliott's next runner firm from 7.0 to 6.2 after just 1 winner
I don't like to use the word cheating, so I will say being selective. This horse, The Storyteller, managed to run into 6th place LTO which ensured qualification for this race. He is carrying 16lb less than his chase mark so he could be well in!

Yes, I know it is a hurdle race but 16lb is a big difference.

Surprised there hasn't been a Stewards called given the distance and interference near the line.

Have seen them called for much less before.

Catching a few nice ones In-play, mainly because of the close finishes.

Had a good opener and the last wasn't to bad but ones inbetween were hard and nothing to write home about

Spoofer keeps putting up 5-figure orders and cancelling them, presumably taking some odd change that's left.

That was a much better market.

It's a dangerous game putting up £10K bets you don't want matched at the festival. Jolly Green mentioned a £250K spoof that went up in smoke on a big drifter.
