Australian racing
Strange, I thought it was a summer time phenomenon. It's around 25 degrees in the UK, which is warmer than usual.
Yeah in our case it is probably that the cat takes on the Australian wildlife..lizards...year round.
..every now and again its Dead Lizard 1 and Cats Gut 0 
Don’t know why more people don’t follow Aussie racing, really enjoyed today, and six winners on the Flemington card for jockey Craig Williams..( did anyone note how this affected the odds of his rides as he rode winner after winner ?) and beaten in a photo otherwise it might have been seven.Spent a year or two over here mainly riding for Mick Channon. Think he rode the mighty Queens Logic when she won on debut .
One of his winners was the ex Jeremy Noseda trained Sixties Groove, interesting to follow the many ex British horses running over there.

The time difference is the simple reason I never trade them manually but I can understand why Derek does the night shift as they are easy to profit from. They remind me very much of the early days on Betfair and don't seem to have the manipulation or saturation of traders that maybe the UK markets have. I think if maybe I was younger and had that hunger I'd stay up and trade them a few nights a week but for now I just bot them. That brings in decent amounts just simply because of the volume of races, I woke up this morning and the bots had done over 200 markets already , when you think the UK and IRE will do that in a week you'd be a fool not to realise the opportunities will be there.

Agree the manipulation isn’t as obvious and definitely less than most uk markets, liquidity seems better than it used to be , and from someone who enjoys racing as a sport , the quality of racing at the metropolitan tracks is good. Plus I like the number of ex British horses ( usually staying types ) that now race over there .
But purely from a trading aspect good opportunities to be had
