Nice activity at Naas... looked a few desperate to get a lay on Echoes In Rain.

SP around 2.8... layer at 3.3 for 6k after someone else pushed the price out. I can never work out why they don't drip money in at better prices.

Wow I missed that one on Saturday :shock:

I've noticed a few names lately that have been obviously intended to make fools of the BHA but that's unbelievable. Think the BHA need to get people with some street smarts when reviewing horse names.

Whats with the 8 minute gap inbetween races then 20 minutes until the next one. Easy to arrange a 12-15 minute gap between races on a two mettings day.

Ffos las got abandoned causing some of it. Then Ayr was delayed , so now plumpton and Ayr are more or less going off together, on different tv channels too.

Just got signed out of the Betfair website, never had that happen before. Should I be worried :?:

Yes, you can change the amount of time before auto logout in security settings.

What was your 'setup' to enter that trade?

I would guess break below 2.5 with volume, stop above pullback high about 2.7 ?

Fairly straightforward one, short priced fav coming and no opposition to it in the market.

2nd fav I think was priced around 4 and wasn't doing anything, 3rd fav was on a slight drift so it was a nice set up.

Got on at 2.70, came steadily in then crashed through 2.50 so added to the position and it didn't look back, was very little resistance to it. One of those a day can make it all worthwhile.

I don't use use stops at all, its just a matter of framing the risk against potential reward. I didn't expect it to come in that far especially in such a short space of time but you know that it can happen every now and then especially in weak markets.
