Mental - you could see something had happened on exchange seconds before with the money that was piling onto My Drogo and then the money going onto Gin.
Oh for a drone and live footage!
I go to Chelmsford sometimes with my laptop hot spotted to my phone. The advantage of being on a course is spectacular.

Odds On Lays 12/11
14:20 Cheltenham My Drogo. Up against a very good Chase runner in Gin On Lime. Nothing to choose between them. Should be priced at evens
Please tell me people watched that race? Huge drama/entertainment which lead to our result.
Yep!!! This is why I love horse racing

@matt-ayles I reckon loads. Logic says the lighter horse should be faster. But there is little logic in racing.
Not a bad site that though is it? Full of good stuff

@matt-ayles have a read of this. I got it off flatstats which is a decent font of all knowledge which I refer to regularly.

Should help us get a good discussion going. Interesting stats on the flat anyway. Surprising even.
Very interesting article. I often hear punters saying they won't back a horse under penalty, which I suppose makes sense as they win around 11% of the time, but I wonder how many would choose the horse dropping in weight over one thats under penalty?

No joy today. Three matched. All sadly won. -1.5 points

@matt-ayles it is always a consideration but I don’t let lower weight put me off a lay. I’ll chat properly later as I’m pushed a bit for time this morning. Flipping women

@John-Folan have you ever done research with your odds ons into whether the weight plays a part? Lots of odds ons are top weight or near as, but today you also have one that's almost bottom weight.
Laying horses under penalty is always worth investigating, so by the same breath perhaps the same could apply here?
No basis for this assessment, merely a passing thought.

Big list today. Always worries me but there are reasons to lay them all
Odds On Lays 11/11
12:30 Market Rasen. Raymond Tusk. Never run hurdles. Poor recent records. Up against an LTO Winner
12:37 Sedgefield. A Different Kind. First time on Hurdles. Up against key dancer who won at this level and distance the race before last.
14:47 Sedgefield Bold Endeavour. Up substantially in distance. First time hurdler. Up against a horse who is looking good and was unlucky lto.
12:55 Taunton. Celestial Force. Has excellent competition in Secret Secret. Not set the world on fire with recent form.
17:30 Chelmsford. Gin O’clock. First time on The AW. Also this race is a cavalry charge.
15:25 Clonmel Bold Getaway. 4th in its only start 10 months ago and a switch in discipline. Quite like the look of Diamondinthemud

Used some of my fun bank on Motawaafeq @6.4 to place, nice work lads

Couple of pace horses to test today:
10th November
Motawaafeq Kempton AW 1m 6:00 PM
All In The Mind Dundalk AW 7f 2:50 PMAll in the Mind a non runner. I did two others apart from these
Shawaaf 15:50 Dundalk AW
Power Drive 16:20 Dundalk AWThey were both rated 10’s for pace. Both dobbed. One from 42 and one from 30.
I watched a few jumps with 10’s and 12’s. Wasn’t great so looks like an AW for these. Nice find (so far!!)
And another dob. You need Adam to fix the back test
