Just seen that, good news for us traders but I imagine this year's royal meeting will be even more volatile than previous years with most horses first time out for the season.Euler wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 2:34 pm36 races at Royal Ascot this year versus the normal 30: -

I think the live shows are place pools and in weak markets will change drastically.
Sorry, I didn't mean place pools but tote pools. Some horses are labelled as running for purse which means not a single bet has been placed on it on course. So the tote pools must be extremely weak.

Why is there such poor volume with some of these French races? It makes it impossible for me to trade but the quality of the races and courses seem good, I don't get it?
Not sure, but I think in France you can only bet on the Pari-Mutuel. The French group ones are quite good though.Diacritical Quark wrote: ↑Mon May 25, 2020 11:30 amWhy is there such poor volume with some of these French races?

Not sure if the 8 race cards already include races divided into 2 divisions. If they don’t, and they decide to split the 2yo races for example, we could get bumper 10-12 race cards.
If that does become the case then with 2/3 meetings per day, the number of races won’t be that far different from a normal summer schedule. Though 2 or 3 eight race cards per day would suit me just fine at present.
Schedule looks quite good until end of August. Either two day meeting and an evening, or one daytime and two night, with all the summer festivals in their usual slots.
Really looking forward to it now, most of the work in the garden is done, I’ve had my fair share of pottering around the house, and I dont want to read or watch any more news or opinion until after Xmas!
