In you want a non scientific view, the markets felt 'bunged up'

Hope it's just a 48 hour cold and not Covid

Although it has been a good session in terms of £, this is probably the worse Oz session I have experienced in a long time. The markets seem to be, at least to me, very different to normal and I have not got on with them at all. I have never known so many losing markets. Probably had more today than I would expect in a month. Hopefully not a sign of the week ahead.

I have some reliable bots that didnt deliver today.

Also found it difficult today not sure why

Maybe different angle to the pre off traders but inplay was hard today.. seemed like the fast feeders were on

Well, a pretty good anedotal report of things being NQR yesterday by those in the know.

I have a theory (based on nothing more than the wild speculation of my own mind). The release of the Melbourne lockdown on Friday, meant enough people, who might have otherwise focussed on racing, focussed on some semblence of freedom (their wives made them drive away to the country for the weekend instead of mucking around on betfair). And while there should have been enough "professionals" to battle it out, there were not enough "others".

I can only describe what I saw from the mid afternoon until I threw in the towel in this way - the whole flow of the markets, the velocity of money, the arrival times and the book balance did not conform to usual patterns. There were strange things with large market making volumes on either side of the second or third favourite, without correspondening volumes on the favourite. A session unlike a normal carnival day, in some ways it represented a mid week event but with more volume but less flow.

Anyway, we can only go onwards to Tuesday and hope for a return to normal programming.

That's not quite as catchy as this one ...

For newbies - events away from Flemington will usually be very weak. (Although things can and do change over time - so observations and adjustments to what actually happens is also a key).

Enjoy the carnival.

Heavily restricted crowd by the look of it.

It's going to be interesting to see how the market behaves with Incentivise.

Only 10,000 allowed.

Anyone else in the UK no longer able to access Racing.com pictures?

They have always worked for me but today say they are restricted to Australia only.

Euler - Wow, thank you for that link! I never knew about it! That is going to be so helpful, thanks!

Guessing you are not in the UK as it's on TV here all night.
