Today's Horse Racing
I have only just started watching UK race and I see at Southwell the 8.30 has finished yet the betting continues. Does this happen if there is a photo finish or maybe a protest. Sorry if this is obvious but I have no audio or pictures so have no idea what is going on.
Cheers

7.30 (UK time) there was a Stewards Enquiry. The first past the post was eventually disqualified.andy28 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 7:46 pmI have only just started watching UK race and I see at Southwell the 8.30 has finished yet the betting continues.

Thank, I was watching the betting and noticed someone put 8k down (in play) around odds of 1.14 and left it there until it was all gone. so clearly they saw the interference. Just out of interest is this something TDP can pick up on? I am thinking sudden loss of speed or not sure if you can see sideways movement or something along those lines. If so opens up new angles, plus maybe Stewards get this data as well

TPD not accurate enough for this in my opinion.andy28 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 8:44 pmThank, I was watching the betting and noticed someone put 8k down (in play) around odds of 1.14 and left it there until it was all gone. so clearly they saw the interference.

This is the first time I've properly traded UK racing through a winter season. What a thoroughly depressing slog it's been. Abandonments, small fields, poor quality, horrible weather, swamp-like ground, spent horses, horrible injuries.
Roll on the flat season!
I agree re the quality of this jumps season. But don't raise your hopes too much the flat season can sometimes be equally bad!jamesedwards wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:26 pmThis is the first time I've properly traded UK racing through a winter season.

It's up and down to be honest. Pre-race seems particularly spikey to me, but In-play continues to throw up a lot of opportunities, especially at this time of the year.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:26 pmThis is the first time I've properly traded UK racing through a winter season.

They altered all their race times in response to the schedule changes at Cheltenham.

This is becoming a major issue now with off time changes, this is usually done to appease betting shops and bookmakers as a whole, to keep time between races to an even amount between events.Lynskey888 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 5:32 pmThey altered all their race times in response to the schedule changes at Cheltenham.

What is needed is for this to be cascaded down to punters electronically rather that finding out after the event as in this case. There needs to be two off times, the schedule off time, plus the rearranged off time, both will be the same if the meeting start times are unaffected.
I am very lucky that I am at home most of the time and I have inputs for start time changes which I fill in, but for the majority who work it is an absolutely terrible dilemma. However you will not get sympathy from all quarters on BA forum, a lot of forum members were rejoicing today that the times at Cheltenham changed as it will stop the Bots from working.
I trade manually and have zero problem with bots or the market activity hedging/bots/bookies provide!a lot of forum members were rejoicing today that the times at Cheltenham changed as it will stop the Bots from working.
The delays cause headaches for most of us I would suspect?
