Today's Horse Racing

[PDC]

Betfair have somehow removed the wrong horse from the 1800 in the Win market, okay in the others!

Void market surely?

Edit: they didn't pull the wrong horse they just messed up the withdrawal of the horse and left it in the market and then withdrew it post race. Caused the market to go a bit nuts pre-race as they seemed to be having trouble getting the horse out of the market, it was all very odd. Place markets, the horse was taken out pre-race normally.

Absolute scenes in the 1620 with the commentator calling the wrong horse as the winner initially with it backed into 1.01 with 11k available to lay at 1.01 at market suspension, in a dramatic conclusion to the race.

Yeah, that's crazy, at least 5 horses been traded near and below 1.15 in short time!

tbf the colours were very similar and the eventual 3rd looked to have it in the bag until it decided to basically stop. The 1.01 backers were lucky it wasn't worse for them. Cross matching seemed quite odd on the finish as well.

Nearly as mad as the 1637 with the almost winner riding the whole race with no stirrups!

Sounds like I missed out on some fun today.

I found it excellent today. Glad to see the back of the flat and jumps dominating. Only downside is the clocks changing next Sunday meaning the day starts much earlier. Next Sunday is a 1210pm start and all done before 4pm

another beacon of light entered my brain today, maybe the most important of all..

Saturn n Silk going to be classed as a runner or not? I think (hope) it will be.

Maybe I've missed the basics of horse racing over the years but I always thought 16 or more runners in a Handicap meant a standard 4 places?

As an example, the Betfair 'To Be Placed' market for the 6.30pm at Dundalk is a Hcap with 17 runners and yet only 3 places...and there are no non-runners.

Anyone know why?

In my filter in Guardian, I'm also seeing a 'Test 27th Oct - To Be Placed'....does anyone else get this??

There is a separate 4TBP market for the 1830 available. As well as a 2TBP and the TBP market (3).

The Test markets were there yesterday as well, like yesterday there were today win, place, 3TBP and each way test markets. I assume it is something Betfair are testing on the API. That 1800 market has now been closed. It was a repeat of the 1800 Newcastle 25/10/2021 race. Sadly you couldn't back the winner
