Surprised Betfair is bothering with the charity race.

Glad it was, just so it stopped a regular Goodwood race being the opener today

Thought the feature was slightly better than yesterday but still waiting for a decent one!

Maybe tomorrow?

Not having the best of days. I think I'll take the rest of the afternoon off and get some much needed nicotine. :D

My view is Goodwood has been over hyped to be bigger than it is and therefore expectations from it are far too high.

I've learnt a bit from the first two days and managed to get a decent result on the feature. So breathing a sigh of relief.

But it's a tough one this year, for sure.

It always has been. You tend to get one feature race, maybe a couple. But the rest wrapped around it isn't that exciting. Certainly not for traders as there is often too much money in the market.

That sums it up pretty well. It is a meeting to go to and enjoy and be seen on and off the course.

Goodwood should be ashamed of themselves and their disregard for the off times.

They are ruining the days racing.

Couldn't agree more, the top tracks are so badly run and arrogantly seem to think other tracks should make way for them. How Newmarket still get away with their timings is beyond me, any smaller tracks would get pulled up for it.

Feature was remarkably flat so I punched in some orders only to see them sit there laughing at me. Goodwood hasn't lit up yet!
what do you mean by lit up, youd like to see bigger price movements? liquidity seems good??

Reasonable start today.

Bit lower quality today but a seriously short Battaash in the feature

People always get volume and liquidity mixed up. Higher volume is one thing but getting matched another. If you can get matched easily you have high liquidity.
