Must of missed that, which runner was it on?
Little gold i think it was, from around 300 into below 2, sent several overs out to 1000
Thats some move, it didn't look like it was about to be WD did it?
I was only watching the market. Just watched the reply of the race, it was not very keen at all on starting so possibly

I was on the verge of bailing out for a loss on this one when the price started to drift.

Might be a neive question but why would a likely WD cause a horse to be so heavily backed.?

Is it that they know/pray the bets will be canceled and its designed to force the rest of the field out to mad prices so they can back them?

Think I'll quit while I'm ahead I don't like the look of Newcastle.

Quite poor quality racing for a Friday, on the eve of Champions (but only in name) Day.

Agree, what a contrast to tomorrow.

Today really feels like a POETS day. You can't beat being your own boss.

looks like flashing big orders in 15:10 does not help the filling rate

 Heavily backed favourite losses at Lingers
Do things like this affect the following markets?
Punters having less money?
No, only punters who backed the loser will have less money and they won't have had their life savings on it!
Surely that's incorrect. Bookies win when favourites lose (generalisation), and if the fav was very short, some of the odds on boys will be losing lumps. The 100/1 outsider might only have had a tenner on it and the 1.2 shot will have 100s of 1000s. They'll cut and cut a popular fav because they don't want any more liability.

Are there any (ex)bookies here who can confirm that?

i'm judging it mainly by the amateur dramatics they do on a saturday after a string of favourites have landed, and by the way an afternoon can dry up after few losing shorties.

I also don't think Euler would have mentioned it unless it was going to have an effect. His comments are sometimes enigmatic but hardly ever just narrative.
