Guineas
2 minutes build up on RUK thanks to that Thrisk race being late, is laughable really considering it's one of the most important races of the year
Astonishing performace from Frankel though. I was wondering why it didnt drift quite a bit when they reported it sweating, I guess that shows why!

How odd. It could just be that most people aren't thinking about horse racing on this glorious extended Bank Holiday weekend! 
Does anyone have any month/month figures for turnover on races?
It would be interested to see whether there has been a clear drop over the past year in terms of the average amount matched per race (or per football match, for example).

personally i reckon its just people adjusting to the economic mess the world is in.
incomes in real terms are falling monthly, more and more people losing jobs, more and more people under threat of losing jobs, cuts in wages year in year out. less disposable income (in many cases none at all), hence less money to gamble with, go fishing, down the pub etc.

Just a note on the volume as Peter requested on his blog to make comments. A lot of wanna be traders who could easily put through a few grand a race multiplied by 200 people soon reaches ........ ??? may be using the a training mode instead?
To me it actually seems easier to trade at the moment which could also be partially to do with this as there is less volume but the volume is made up of more pure money??
