Lovely 9’s into 7’s there – with the runner-up a morning gamble.
Are you sure we see everything we need to know in the papers??
You’re having a laugh IS!
My thoughts exactly
I’m sure IS is just pulling our plodder mind, but if we are going to class horses that get nibbled from 140.0 on Betfair to 130.0, or 12/1 into 11/1 for example, then I dare say every race in in the UK can be summed up with the words, ‘Gamble Landed’
We’re judging it on the shows – if you’re going to start ruling horses out that are priced at X or Y then there’s little point in studying the market.
I take the point that it wouldn’t take more than a few quid to move the price but why that one and not the Amy Weaver horse ridden by a top Irish jockey coming over for three rides for the yard? Both have had a run yet one is 100/1 into 80/1 and deadheats for the win and another is 100/1 and steady at the price and finishes out of the frame.
6/1 into 5/1 winner there at Ffos Las, the 2/1 out to 5/1 drifter was unplaced as was an 11/4 to 9/4 second fav and the 11/4 to 2/1 favourite finished runner-up.

Now I have one that fits the formula I mentioned earlier. Mind you Albacocca travelled less than gloriously in running. She was 6.0 – 9.0 pretty late in betting and 9/2 – 13/2 on course. Nice of her to beat the heavily backed Little Oz too. Hit around 60 with 32 traded for plenty in running. Oz punters were so sure he’d pass the filly they traded the dreaded 1.01
Great ride Seb. He might lack style but is very effective. Yes I’m a dyed in the wool Prescott fan.
You’re right Irish Stamp, though not sure conditions at Ffos Las can be called a Summer lol. Back to normal now, Any Given Moment, 4/1 into 9/4 and collects.

Now who tipped the Simcock pair heavily to punters? One up, one down. "They" should be in front now. the yard followers certainly didn’t miss a nice 2yo last week either.
You can write conspiracy theories on this subject all day, all year.

Yeah I think it might be like yesterday – a few moves due to the going be not as described at declaration stage
It seems to me that a huge number of horses shorten every day – no surprise there are plenty winners among them. If we’re going to highlight every winner that’s shortened up we’ll have a very long list.
Likewise – if your going to highlight every favourite that shortens and then gets beat you’ll also have a very long list.
Basically from what you are saying practically every single course market opens up with a smaller overround that it finishes with.
Since Best Odds Guaranteed became virtually universal, drifters on the bookie show have become as rare as, erm, thrown out horses since double result became virtually universal.
A better barometer is the betfair market, though I expect the shorteners still outnumber the drifters on that, as the key driver of these market moves seems to be dead ‘uns for the most part, with everything else contracting in sympathy.

I work the back line at the mill

Those were the days, weren’t they Gamble? The noise of the looms, the clogs we wore on our feet, the annual day out to Blackpool, Fred Dibnah etc. etc. ….which reminds me, his Steam Engine is up for auction this weekend, circa £130K. Fancy a change of transportation?
KenYes Ken while we wait for
the list
it is nice mentally go backwards and
feel the chug of the old trains and the pull
while the whistle move the cows in the fileld
and one travels through the carriages with their fine
mahogany handles to finally peep
through the crack at the old woman
hiding in the toilet with her spinning jenny
all packed up beside her
to surprise old Jim
a little later, as she tries to avoid the fare.I had no idea you were dutch
