14:13 @ Wetherby leader dozens of lengths clear but falls at the last. £5.1k traded at the min. Fingers crossed for the horse

14:21 Market Rasen

This is a hurt wallet speaking, but I really don't get it how jockeys can let the frontrunner(s) go off for dozens of lengths and hope to catch them in the last two furlongs. Especially on good ground.
Madness...

Again: Anaconda @Wetherby 14:13

Went down at the last, looked like an "Unforced Error".

@jamesedwards Have you laid it at low odds?

Oh!
The horse got up right away, didn't it?

Oh!
The horse got up right away, didn't it?

Didn't touch the hurdle, but front leg crumpled on landing. Looked nasty.

"Not looking good here for anaconda at wetherby !
Not sure why he's been asked for a big one at the last there !"

Damn

Damn

Confirmed fatality I'm afraid.

Wonderous dangle of the angle in the Kempton 18:10.

A close fight between the top two in the market all the way up the home straight.

Great photo opportunity at the end of it all.

[jamesedwards]

Commentator calls the wrong winner in the Newcastle 18:30. Shame that Betfair couldn't be bothered to open any photo betting.

[jamesedwards]

Kempton 19:30, someone tried to trick the market by dumping £5k into the late withdrawal about 1f out, and taking it down to 1.01. I don't remember ever seeing this actually work. Cross matching switched off for in-play, of course, so they're relying on someone manually pushing the price out of the real winner as a result.

Kempton 18:45 someone just tried the same thing again.

...and again on Luminous Light in the Cork 16:37. I don't know why, unless I'm missing something, I've never seen this work.

...and again on Eric Lock in the Dundalk 18:45. The pattern seems to be late withdrawals in evening races.

Is my setup off or are the Bf live video pictures from Newcastle a bit behind the action??

BFL is about 1.5-2.0 secs behind live for all ARC tracks, and about 0.5 secs behind for all RTV tracks. For comparison drone footage and TPD through Bet Angel is about 0.5 secs behind live.

Call myself a pro.

I just switched on my PC to set myself up for the days racing only to find Catterick kicked off at 10:30 this morning!

Thx, I keep forgetting that...

Is there an updated list of which tracks are covered by RTV?

https://support.betfair.com/app/answers ... ive-video/

This is the one on the Betfair site, but e.g. Stratford is listed as ATR when it is actually RTV:
