I suspect they aren't from what I have seen given entry timings.
Yeah they are fencing it off but I have no confidence in the AYR track, almost every meeting there there are problems with horse slipping or false ground.

I would as Newbury is now going to be massively delayed with Fallon on the ground injured.
Just got caught on the spike in the last race, prices seemed to be coming down then, bam! 5k lay pushes right back out to about 4.2 from about 3.8, luckily I'm using small stakes so not to much damage but these last few days are testing me to the max!
I've actually made nothing this week, worst week this year by far!

Playing devil's advocate, has it definitely been spikier over the past few days? Or it is possible that you've just noticed the spikes more because other people have been commenting on how spiky it is?

My biggest problem is if/when I get a nasty loss from one of these jumps I let it annoy me far too much, then it messes the rest of my day up, I must admit I don't have a great temperament for trading.
Also from my big loss on Thursday my confidence is low at the moment.

easy said but, stop make a cup or something. break for 10/15 minutes. there is always another race. try to control your temperment. you know it anoys you, which makes you prone to make a wrong move, so stop. try to control your temperment, you cant control the market, all you can control is you.(not meant as a dig by the way)

Could it be that the spikes are a reflection of the liquidity, with more liquidity meaning greater volatility?
And if so, it is possible that, if you get more favourites at 4.0 and above, then you will therefore get a higher proportion of spiky markets in a day (assuming you trade favourites)?

Or perhaps not, judging by this fairly low-priced favourite in the 17:30...
