Today's Horse Racing

The trade after was far more interesting for me! Lovely stuff.

Peter will be able to put an exact number on it, but off the top of my head it I think it would be closer to the £1.5m

Personally for me its my least fav of all the festivals (mainly because extra large fields are not my type of races really)

You should get decent money on the feature races. But the feature today is pretty poor. £500k on offer in prize money but only four runners!

Thanks both

Waking up today I didn’t get a single bet matched on the feature given only four runners.

Otherwise I set the bots too aggressive - on the other hand the luck fell my way and so started off day one well up. Will dial it down a bit for the remainder.

How big is the Ebor festival wise?

Should I expect more for than 2 mil matched on each race?

Better late than never..

The £567k was for the winner. Total prize money for The Judemonte was £1 million (my daughters got the race card with the prize money or I'd of sent a pic). Surprising there was only 4 runners when they were offering prize money for the 1st 6. Shows a lack of depth at the elite group end of racing but that's always been the case for as long as I can remember.

Thanks Shaun - that really helps me calibrate.

Hope the markets are treating you well.

Gaz.

Chelmsford 20:35 Betfair only put into play with about 2f left of the 6f race.

Two cracking days at York bar being about £1200 down but can live with that. York is a stunning race course and a great day/night out and can highly recommend a visit for anyone who likes a day out at the races.

When younger I remember York Ebor meeting as being Tues-Thursday affair, deffo wasn't a Saturday.

Agree about York course, certainly the best in the North
A family member used to work in the Swallow hotel right next to the course - there were quite a few perks to her job
I've not been for 3-4 years so not even sure if its still there or been taken over by another chain

Yes, Tuesday was the Benson & Hedges Gold Cup, I think the Ebor was on Wednesday and the William Hill Sprint Championships on Thursday, when I had double maths, my favourite subject, but I'd have to bunk it all summer long for the racing.

In the noughties a few meetings like the Ebor and Newmarket July (even the Cheltenham Festival was seriously considered) were extended to Saturday because the selfish gits who should be working and paying tax while we're enjoying the racing wanted to see more sport.

The bookies price is still low, it just shows how much they rip people off. Crazy move though.
