was it just me or did anyone else notice during in-play on the 8pm Kempton the exchange (Betfair) seemed to paused a few times (by that I mean it froze for a second or so and then release on a few occasions towards the end of the race)?

I hope this isn't the spectre of gremlins to come with a few big festivals to come.

Winner DQ'd in the 18:30 @ Wolves.

It was a bit of a rollercoaster of positions for me...

> At the line:
FPTP +£143, 2PTP -£1,028

> After the photo:
FPTP +£426, 2PTP -£1,778

> After the stewards:
FPTP -£782, 2PTP -£27


Never has a £27 loss felt more like a win! 8-)
Nice work! you must have extremely quick fingers. I was on the opposite side trying to green my position but left a lot on the table. :roll:

I didn't notice anything. It could have been a local internet connection issue at your end?

Possibly, it was the only moment in a week or more where I've noticed this occur, hopefully just something local to me but it was reminiscent of issues in the past. Fingers crossed.

There's outsiders of three, and then there's outsiders of three!

Very unlucky. ☹️ He was absolutely flying before the fall. Years and years from now you’ll still remember his name, I expect.

PS Relieved to see the horse was able to get to his feet afterwards.

It's nice to see some green on my screen and on the ground where the horses are running.

I'm curious about the decline in the turnover at the Dubai World Cup. It used to be a really strong market. If you go back 20 years ago, it'd be turning over £1.5 million, but it struggles even at shorter prices to get to £250,000 now.

Quite a drop off in my profits vs last year. No TPD though which didn't help.
