Think someone's dug themselves a 6-digit hole today :oops:
By my count they've gone from -6dig to +6 digit now!

They're backing 1st/2nd fav and never laying, highest price backed was ~5.5 for ~20k

Expecting more £ to arrive. Be ready.

Cape Islay in the 8:05 Nottingham hit me, went from 5.5 to 7 in the blink of an eye just before the off, didn't see it playing up entering the stall so god knows why the layers came out in force.

When do you define your exits sb?

The 'sensible' option would be to take the loss but as we all know, sometimes the move corrects itself and goes back to where it was previously.

Be interesting to see if there is any data out there that shows % of runners going back to the previous price after a spike.

I don't have any set exits eightbo, generally just wing it. I got caught on that as it went so quick and need to close before the off

I don’t have the % and am not trading horses every day. However, from my experience so far...

During last winter it happened many times to see mountaintops: horses that would go up in price massively and in a few seconds, only to correct back down heavily soon afterwards.

During this summer I’ve only experienced horses that spike up and stay there or thereabouts.

Perhaps the more seasoned traders could tell us whether this is a recurring winter/summer theme.

Looked like all the opponents lost irons or fell off to ensure his victory
