Yes, I noticed this too. There are only three Stratford Handicaps that qualify for my (fully automated) trading today. The record low number for me.

Cracking finish to the King George.
Few top horses didn't deliver but that's what you want to see the best horses going up against each other. Horse racing sometimes gets a bit like boxing trainers/owners ducking each other with their horses.

Inclinism!
I managed to get 16 'Back' bets ( total liability of £22.61) matched on Quickthorn in the last 16 seconds of the race for £1.89 profit (8%) - didn't look like getting caught

Unfortunately I missed this race because one of the extremely heavy tiles in my recently refurbed bathroom fell off the wall into the bath, and I thought at least WW3 had broken out.
Trading is a mugs game....good job I'm a Mug. Even when you spend years discovering why where when the markets will go up and down. The risk is rarely worth the reward.
Probably going to give this up as the upcoming recession, I might need the money.
The delay from the mouse click to money appearing on the ladder is getting worse.
Liquidity apart from the big meetings is getting low so the volatility is greater.
Trying to get £750 matched with low liquidity is soul destroying and you cant make any money on £200 stakes on the FAV
Why do people who are not consistently profitable still persist with this rubbish?
If you cant make £200 a day you cant do this full time because you need to cover losses.
the people who do make that sort of money won't really understand why I cant do it but it comes down to DISCIPLINE and self control - of which have none.
WHATEVER.

Xtrader seems like you could do with a break mate.
The game is fairly simple – consistently take value on low risk for long enough and you'll be ahead.
If it's not working for you then you're missing a component, and should consider what that is and how to fix it. It may be the case you know what it is but can't fix it, in that case perhaps you should assess other ways to make money that would be more straightforward/less stressful, as clearly this is affecting you.
If you're committed to this game then drop stakes and attack different angles til you find something scalable and stick to doing that well. It could help to set a deadline for yourself to make progress e.g. 1 year and do your best but if it doesn't work out you can always invest your cash in different ways to turn a profit.
With caring honesty, your venting on here is purposeless.
Wish you a clear head soon mate and good luck whatever you pursue.
