Randwick is my number one course with an 89% success rate. Caulfield is number six and Ipswich No. 18 at just under 70%. So I'm not trading it tonight with the other two meetings but it's usually on midweek when things are quieter and then it's much more appealing.

Thanks Derek. I would have thought it would fit in tonight quite well sandwiched nicely between Randwick and Caulfield.

I found the second at Caulfield and Randwick much better than the first races. Tatura has been my best track so far oddly.

When there's low-grade racing in the UK I'm happy to trade a race every ten minutes but when there's better racing on I much prefer 15-20 minutes between races, give myself more time to look at the market. Especially when some of the bigger meetings have more money flowing earlier than usual.

Sky Sports Radio coverage has been utterly dire today. Too busy playing recorded interviews from Randwick to bother giving live commentary of races. Driving me mad.

Just missed Belmont as playing a pre-record interview, then play a recording of Belmont and so miss the start of Gold Coast and join it halfway through then a gap when they could have played the interview and would have been able to give live commentary of the two races they missed! :evil:

Sure once Winx retires, it makes sense to get Frankel out here to roger her and Black Caviar?
I'm afraid they'll have to come over here. Stallions don't travel to cover mares. :)
I’m guessing you are not familiar with a shuttle stallion

I'm familiar with shuttle stallions, I just forgot Australia's in the southern hemisphere. :lol: It's been a long night.

I feel sorry for stallions that have to do double duties. American Pharoar was shipped downunder after his first season covering mares - you'd think they'd give the poor horse a rest!

Likewise but couldn't get any decent results from Caulfield. I always struggle with these Victoria tracks and the huge amounts being put up at the front of the field, seemingly by the one person given how the money enters and exits the market in single lumps.

I didn't do so well profit wise at Caulfield but it's a bit early in the season (it was 7 degrees), liquidity should pick up.

The large sums of money usually disappeared if you waited long enough, on occasions it started going the other way. I suspect one guy was trying to be a market maker and offering huge sums a few ticks apart.

You can find out by looking at the rules on the Betfair site for a market. It always says if it's a turnover charge market and whether cross-matching.
Thanx Derek! I have looked and it doesn't says on trots races that their is an turnover charge...
Good luck tomorrow morning if you are trading aussie markets :D
There is a turnover charge on the nsw trots, only the greys in nsw is exempt
There is no turnover charge on harness racing in any Australian state.
Only on the gallops in NSW.

I know the Aussies are good timekeepers but there's no need to rub it in by scheduling a race for 7:59 am, and actually running the race at 7:59 am. :lol:
