Cheltenham Festival 2023

[Dallas]

One of the more colourful owner/s you'll ever see at Cheltenham

[Archangel]

You would think they could come up with a better way to start these big field races....

Feels intense today

Buckets of money on Galvin in the XC

[Dallas]

What a finish in the XC, certainly best of the day

Haven't looked just yet. Curiously I am test some inplay stuff this year, something I've never done before. Not saying that I'm behind that, just that maybe others are doing the same also.

I've learnt about by using TPD and while it's not available at Cheltenham.

That's interesting, would appreciate you sharing the split when you have a moment, cheers Peter.

They effectively become in-running markets before the flag drops. A bit like mobile starts in harness racing.

I just re-read that what a mess! Guess that's what happens when you have six screens running and no time to do anything!

My interpretation was "I've seen x, y & z happen with TPD data under b,c & d scenarios, does it translate over into big event with no TPD"

I'm yet to move onto TPD data, am only last 10 days throwing a random stake (semi-random, using an automation file from one of many Dallas files) into the market pre-off and beginning to see the wheat from the chaff. That's after 12 odd years of failing with pre-off. But it's working... am seeing the wheat

[Dallas]

That 5 figure offer helped muddy the waters of that last market

[Dallas]

Overall didn't find today as good as yesterday but felt better than recent years

I did OK today. Markets a bit tougher today, but much easier than last year.

Tomorrow the markets will change shape a little as there will be more races on the card.

Still looking very positive

It really is, surprising with all the affordability checks too!

Any reason why Betdaq is down? Maybe the Matchbook -1% commission is a draw for bookies hedging (as I know BD is usually the bookies choice for that)
