I must have changed Ballarat off race times on 4 occasions this morning...in the end they've just abandoned the meeting 🙄

First few races had Vaal had no place markets. Mid-day must be too early for them.

Chester 14:05 seems to go in play really late there.

Just under 3f left to run of a 1m race.

I canceled my closing position and then re-entered it after it went in play. I hope that they stick this one.

Looks like I didn't dodge a bullet, and that's gonna be a hefty loss for me.

Bets still sat in "voided - open markets" so they're still looking at something. They usually end up in "voided - closed markets".

Almost as bad as an outage for people - is it just one guy/lass sat on his own in Bulgaria switching markets to in-play? Surely you'd have thought someone would've given them a nudge.

I can't quite understand why they don't use Total Performance data to start the race. I guess that creates another dependency, but it could be done pretty automatically with a person as a backup to look for anything unusual.
