John Deere Classic golf market not turned in-play. Players on the course for the best part of an hour.

16:20 @ Ascot.

There's obviously going to be a stewards enquiry, so Betfair keep the market suspended, only for them to close it after the enquiry is announced. They then take a full 15 mins to decide to reopen the market in Specials, and then fail to suspend that once the stewards' decision is announced.

Betfair throw away so much horse racing volume due to poor market management. Photos, Stewards, often badly managed.

What a shambles.

I don't know why Betfair don't just automatically re-open every horse racing market after the finish for a set period of time.

There's always loads of volume wanting to trade just after the race as people want to manage their positions for photos, or possible enquiries.

Just suspend at the finish, then re-open every race straight away for 30 secs. Then this can be extended for races where an enquiry is announced or expected. Would be an easy way for Betfair to add a few incremental % to overall volumes.
