Slight dull day I'm thinking. Apart from that first race.

I'm struggling to get filled quickly enough on the features this year. So I think the Gold Cup could be tricky tomorrow.

Betfair volumes still tracking 1/3 off of last year.

BF fill rate seemed much worse today than Tuesday or Wednesday, barely £20 in 3 minutes on some runners, on one side of the book (and not 100/1 either), very poor.

Havent done very well this year really. Today seemed quite unenventful marketwise, particularly early on anyway. Seems like nothing happens for ages, money just sat in queue, then it goes nuts late on, when it is far more risky to be too exposed.

Attached nice photo of winning race. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

A suprising change. Without drilling down further the ones I have to hand which I can easily compare read as, to the scheduled start...

2019 £96.5m
2020 £101m (+4.6%)
2021 £108m (+6.9%)

...and yes...with 3 out of 4 days done this year being a poultry £55.2m that's on track for £73.6m, down 31.8% :shock:
I'll be quite interested to compare the in-running volumes when I get chance.

I don't really follow it tbh, has there been fewer shorties this year? That can affect the traded vol to some extent.

And Festival 2021 forum pages 18, Festival 2022 forum pages so far 7....that tells a story too?

Damn, going to be a long day, feeling like absolute crap, operating on 2 hours of sleep currently. Got stuck trading the early markets and mismanaged my schedules.

Surprised it's not more , the markets feel very thin compared to previous years. Be interesting to see how the in running market volumes are across the years.

Markets feel better today. But they should do as it's Gold Cup day.
