    Writing this Royal Ascot betting blog this afternoon was very much like writing my own P45, it was that bad a day for the firm. You may enjoy it! https://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/simon-nott-royal-ascot-friday-trading-report/

    I doubt very much Nando Parrado would have been returned 150/1 if on course bookmakers had been in attendance. 100/1 max.

    When Frankie was on a roll yesterday Ed Chamberlin said bookmakers were piling the money onto Sceptical to get his price down, due to their liabilities. Who were they piling it on with?

    Francesca explaining a drifter earlier in the week said punters had obviously taken note of the horse sweating up in the pre parade paddock, despite no punters being in attendance and no earlier pictures available.
    It would be a bookmaker led drift anyway rather than a punter one.

    Other than the de facto hedging platform Betfair I would hazard a guess that the furloughed on-course contingent are not twiddling their wedges at home but are operating a virtual Tatts via blower and screen to accomodate ‘high street’ liabilities

    The money-go-round indeed: the winner and loser today will be the loser and winner tomorrow

    As I asked an economics boffin recently regarding the recent multi-billion borrowings by HM Government: ‘who do they borrow from?’ Much chuntering about government bonds, quantitative easing and the ‘money markets’ – whatever they are, but no concrete explanation

    What is money? An intangible and abstract concept methinks
