Today's Horse Racing

shocking

[JTEDL]

Awful to see, in the news more and more often now and can happen anywhere, remember Royal Ascot last year!

[Derek27]

Shocking, but it does remind you that these incidents are extremely rare on racecourses.

Ascot and Haydock have been pretty good today. Got stung at Wincanton, the only other market I traded.

I think a few got stung at Haydock looking at the news today:

But I thought only flat racing folk cause these sort of scenes

Absolute arseholes those scrapping on courses with kids around, used to take my young daughter regularly on Saturday racing never missed many Uttoxeter meetings, only seen mither once some Stoke fans playing up in the ring and throwing beer, not good when have a pushchair etc but very rare. That was 15 odd years ago have things changed now? You've only got to see the winners enclosures after the race to see only a handful bother looking here even with bumper crowds, the courses want you in the bars buying rip off booze racing is just a sideshow. Still entertainment for kids center of course some meetings and Sunday's always seen as a good family day out in nice weather.

Pretty dire day today. Markets very volatile and didn't properly adjust my trading to them.

Managed to retrieve some of my losses on the last few markets.

It's always drunk supposed 'men'. It's immature and pathetic.

As a % it happens extremely rarely however just this weekend talking to non racing people the perception is starting to be the exact opposite, that it happens a lot. The people I was talking to who know what I do brought up the topic saying they had seen 'yet another' report of fighting at the races and then went on to say how there is no chance they would take their young family racing anymore as it is just full of young lads getting pissed up.

Racing needs to be very careful with its perceived reputation into the future.

I know regulars who go to most meetings but will avoid weekends altogether, no surprise looking at this

[Derek27]

Markets quite lively compared to last week when we had sole meetings.

Enjoying trading today, had a cathartic sit down last night where I clarified exactly what I'm trying to do with my trading, and why.

It's only when I checked in I realised the old what/why have needed changing for some time now.

I did the same last night. Not the best of weeks last week but I decided I was OSing here and there and scalping unsuitable markets. More swings, steamers and drifters this week, hopefully.
