The Betfair legal eagles have been in touch, claiming my post on Capricorn Run was seriously misleading and asking me to put the matter straight. I’m only too happy to oblige.
Capricorn Run apparently drifted in the 10 seconds pre-off as a result of a ‘badly programmed’ bot laying it at all rates up to 12s to place. Whether the bot was ‘badly programmed’ in the sense it was doing things the owner didn’t really intend or ‘badly programmed’ in the sense that it didn’t have the notion of subtlety embedded into its artificial intelligence remains unclear.
.Does seem a little strange that this "badly programmed bot" chose this particular horse to lay at all rates in the place market? What was it meant to be doing? Laying it at all rates to people with slow pictures when the race was off would be my guess…

I’m glad somebody posted the More Tea Vicar drift, TDK.

I think we should record this information on an Excel file. We would need about 5 collums;
Trainer – Jockey – Horse – Price 5mins prior to race – SP –
Any suggestions? we might be able to find a few good trends.

Deleted for aftertiming, though betting patterns can only be considered ‘dodgy’ in light of the associated horse’s subsequent performance (the Ajara drift being a case in point).

Spic N’ Span is 11/4 from 2/1 for Southwell’s opener despite facing nothing of the calibre of North South Divide and Made of Ailsa, whom he beat comfortably last time out (when well backed and allowed to do as he pleased).
Spic n Span is poorly drawn and has more on his plate today than he did last time I’d say.
Agreed, DJ. Will need to extricate himself from the stands’ s side soup very quickly.
Big drifter in the next at Wolverhampton
Redhead of Richard Hannons yard has drifted to 17 from 8
Should Redhead have been any shorter on paper? In fact looking through this thread the only horse I wasn’t still laying at the off on value grounds were Dart and Bazroy.
The weight Redhead was carrying and taking the trainer into account would make me think thats a big price against a mediocre field.
Especially as RP said that it would put in a big run
