Heaven knows SP

[Tony25]

SP really doesn`t matter to me so it`s not a bitch about costing me money,however:-

i`m convinced the SP doesn`t represent the market price anymore,in fact i would go as far as saying the SP lacks integrity ,the organisation responsible for returning the SP should be removed.

Moving on to a question:-

Did any of you observe the last show “HEAVEN KNOWS“?, am i losing the plot as my eyes where looking at 4/1?, how on earth could this horse be returned 100/30?

Was anyone at the track looking at the boards?

The retail business must be laughing its head off at such practice!

Thanks in advance for any observations

Pretty sure the 4/1 was the ‘industry show’, (off-course bookies) which is taken from a different place to the 10/3 SP (on-course bookies).

Turf TV disputes and all that……

There would appear to be some fairly wide discrepancies, then, between the on-course price and the industry show. I was at Doncaster yesterday which has a Ladbrokes betting shop and for several minutes before the Horris Hill C4 were giving out Stimulation’s price as 5/1 while his price on Ladbrokes’ screens was 4/1. He did in fact go out to 9/2 seconds before the off. I presume the 5/1 was the price on course.

But i was looking at the show price on both ATR and that provided by SIS, surely they are not showing industry prices and returning SP (Same system)………im overseas and haven`t noticed anything differant outside of the odd one that was clipped, from my info base i often see SIS state SP as last show and that`s the return !

Followed it today and didnt notice any discrepency thus it doesnt make sense,still convinced they where taking the biscuit or the 2000-500 reported had an incredible effect!!

That is precisely what is happening, Tony – the "show prices" you will have seen from Newbury will have been industry shows and the SP returned comes from the oncourse market.
