Thanks for the info seahorse, got a nice DOB on that lucky to get the match on BETDAQ though terrible in play liquidity.
Thanks for that information - I wouldn't have thought that would be too detrimental to his chance unless he was behaving unruly.
You are correct Derek, the horse wasn't behaving particularly unruly and that wasn't the cause of the drift.
The market reacted not to the tongue tie being repositioned but from the moment it was announced on course that the horse would be running without one of its fore shoes then there was a second reaction when this was announced by the TV presenters.
It sticks in my mind as it was the reason I opened my lay of the horse as you could hear the announcement in the background and then when it was picked up by the presenters I added to my position.
"Race 7 - 4:55pm
THE ROA/RACING POST OWNERS' JACKPOT FILLIES' HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) (DIV I)
HYPERACTIVE arrived at the start without its left fore shoe. As James Fanshawe had not stated, at declaration, HYPERACTIVE should be withdrawn if it lost a shoe, the filly ran without it."
When I was a punter I often had a small bet on a massive drifter if I thought it was value and in the absence of any obvious reason for the drift. Every horse has a price, and these drifts usually go through the horse's true price.

A lot of drifts do seem to be overdone lately
