A 1 tick scalp of Enable took me about 5 mins to complete.
Haha me too. 1.10 to 1.09 but it went eventually. Was like swimming in custard!

I used to do well on the French Sunday G1s but these days, like today I don't get up in time for them. :(

Good liquidity on that one, didn't think Pinatubo would stay but was rocketing home :?

Never been Pinatubo’s biggest fan either, also thought they might go down in trip rather than back to a mile, though he did come home well there. Probably end up breeders cup mile if they go over.

Thought that was another great ride by PCB, he is one of my fav jockeys now. How come Doyle was back on Pinatubo and Buick at York? Obviously couldn’t have been a weight thing, maybe something to do with quarantine? Or did they just want to switch back to Doyle as he mainly rode him as a 2 yo.

Longchamp is now ParisLongchamp, and Betfair can't even afford a byte to split the two words. :?

There's no such place as ParisLongchamp. It was okay to call it Longchamp all these years, as it was to call Philidelphia Park Parx. Without meaning to be pedantic, instead of having high-level board meetings discussing what names to give racecourses they should invest more of their resources in fixing problems like suspending races on time.

There is, and it's one word. Although strictly speaking that's the name of the park and the course in the park is actually Cour des Vans (Hippodrome de Longchamp) aka Vans Yard.

I've noticed SSR and Sporting Life have followed suit. If it's one word there shouldn't be a capital L!

Maybe because it's a made up name.. I suppose if you've got the cash to own 100s of acres of land there you can call it whatever you want.

But "Longchamp" was fine tho, it's not like there's any others. Betfair don't sit and type in the markets in everyday so I guess their feed just has it like that.

Somebody types it in, do you think Great Leighs automatically converted to Chelmsford City by magic?
