I just wish Caulfield behaved the same!
If Caulfield behaved like that as well I'd take the rest of the week off!

Caulfield has a lot more traders though

Been decent liquidity everywhere so far too

What makes you think that? I thought it was the other way round tbh with Caulfield dominated by one or more major player.

Doesn't time fly when you're having fun - got close to the start of this one, which was off 30 seconds late.

There's more money at Caulfield so I would presume there are more traders. A few big traders are unlikely to account for all of it.

The reason I think it is the other way round is how my orders are matched at Randwick, I get taken in lots of chunks and the money at prices get eaten away gradually on the whole.

At Caulfield they money is on the whole taken in one bet and the money at prices, often several hundred or even several thousand are taken in one go rather than eaten away gradually.

That indicates to me that Caulfield has one (could be more but I don't think it is) person. It is always the same at the big Victoria meeting each week.

Maybe I am imagining it but my orders are taken totally differently at Vic tracks to how they are at every other territory.

I suspect whoever is responsible for the programming doesn't know the first thing about, or have the slightest interest in racing.

Made 45p on the last at Caulfield, but that's all it takes to keep my 100% record going. :D

Still not been a single race from Sha Tin, just horses going round the paddock and parading at the starting stalls. I agree, whoever does the scheduling is no racing fan. What gets me is that ATR will do a big show about the Melbourne Cup and have presenters in the studio and do an all night show but for now we have to endure Sha Tin which I doubt hardly anyone is interested in!

That last at Caulfield was my best yet there tonight.

6:10 Rosehill was disappointing.

It was a strange market, when I first opened it I had to check I hadn't opened R7 as the market was like a waste land with very little money in it and very little matched.

I found it picked up well in the last couple of minutes though and turned out okay in the end but for a Group 2 it was oddly quiet despite the odds.

Another great scalping market, until a few 4-figure sums congested it somewhat.

Wonder how much of each others orders we matched :shock:
