South African Racing

[Naffman]

Was just having a look tonight at the liquidity of South African racing...and it really surprised me. Race 2 at Greyville (maiden), showed approx. 45K I was quite amazed as this is just slightly lower than the average Aus race on a Monday. The race I am currently viewing has 17K matched with 15 mins still to go

Watch this space.

Ok, loaded in guardian, aggression automation turned on.

It looks very promising Gaz...that last race reached 65K!

Time for me to have a nosey.

Any luck yesterday Gaz? I used small stakes for the 3rd and managed a $7 green, and I was very impressed with the movement and liquidity of the market. Kenilworth starts at 9.10pm in Aus (12:10pm in UK), so I know I'll be looking around.

Looks like it started off ok, but perhaps tailed away?

Could be because the UK racing began after race 5 perhaps, not sure. Are you able to show how much the liquidity differed from the first 2 races you traded?

Edit: Kenilworth has been abandoned tonight, so I will have to wait till Vaal tomorrow

Didn't check the liquidity - doh. But given the results I suspect it fell.

[Naffman]

Liquidity has only averaged a poor 20K so far, a possible reason for this is that the favourite has been 3/1+. I think the shorter priced runners (odds on - 2/1) will be tradeable, other than that, not too sure.
