the 'keep the race' market is a joke imv...

what happens if there ar etwo races at the same time and each have a stewards...?

which market are you betting on...?

people with open bets in the main market race want to close positions etc...how do they do that in the 'keep race' market...?

Jocks go out of their way to impede any horse that comes challenging late these days, knowing they won't lose the race if they win by far enough. Encouraging dangerous riding imo and someone will be badly hurt or worse one of these days.

watchit...

2 races go off at the same time and BOTH end in stewards enquiries.

using the 'keep race' thingy...which one are you betting on...?
Report HappyHibby June 26, 2012 4:26 PM BST
can you imagine if someone lumps on thinking they are betting on a race at beverley...and it turns out the betting is for a race at BRIGHTON watchit...?

it's OBVIOUS to me that this early closing of a market when there is every chance of a stewards is just complete madness...

cannot understand it at all tbh...
Report HappyHibby June 26, 2012 4:36 PM BST
it's all about COMMUNICATION imv watchit.

if they have decided to stop betting on STEWARDS ENQUIRIES through the main race market (and i find it strange if that's the way they want to go) then just let us know.

we're all BIG BOYS here....

COMMUNICATION...COMMUNICATION...COMMUNICATION...

Not in BF's interest to settle the market then the result gets reversed.

I put it down to the suspend monkey at the track giving the all clear too soon.
Report HappyHibby June 26, 2012 5:04 PM BST
anyone with a brain and 2 eyes could see there was a possible stewards at beverley Wesdag...

the bloke at the track giving an all clear is not an issue here.

how can he give an 'all clear' anyway...?

the only time he can give an 'all clear' is when the 'weighed in' signal is announced.

and clearly it wasn't announced until AFTER the stewards was decided...
Report Wesdag June 26, 2012 5:16 PM BST
Its the same with the market not getting re-opened when there's a photo finish.

There must be some kind of communication failure why the market closes so quickly when there's a stewards.
Report HappyHibby June 26, 2012 5:18 PM BST
it's a real head-scratcher imv Wesdag.....

all about COMMUNICATION imv...
