Its hard not talk your book, but find the racing incredibly predictable/boring.

I dont think the tv coverage does it many favours -but there are simply no other story lines.

Entain (Ladbrokes), Flutter (Betfair) both up 3% today, which is a fraction puzzling.

I suppose whatever about the headlines of short priced favs winning and the bookies taking a spanking, its still a big week for the industry. All those new accounts that they can start to work on promoting their more profitable products to

Wow, I never usually look at the places, but I think, a lot of people who don't trade got stung in all markets there. Thanks for showing those figures wearthefoxhat.

I so nearly said Lay him. All the shorties have performed flawlessly so far, but there is no way you can have a week of that.

A tricky day, but I did OK in the end. Given me a lot of confidence for the rest of the week.

 Bit early to call, but 'worst Cheltenham ever' label is waiting in the wings.

Weather, ground, deaths, missing big names, illness, rescheduling, cancelled XC, woke wednesday.
...and parking mudbath nightmare.

One bookmaker said El Fabiolo was his biggest payday for 25 years, they must have been partying yesterday.

Attendence figures not looking great for the 1st two days especially when they dropped the capacity to make it a better race expirience but they just don't get it do they people want competitve racing at reasonable cost along with each-way betting which time and time again they don't deliver.

Another Henderson non-runner Sir Gino out the Triumph Hurdle, have to feel for him and the owners.

Anyway on a positive today's cards are looking alot better, plenty of good sized more competitive fields and each way betting exactly how it should be, plenty to get stuck into.
