Have The Bookmakers Ever Had A Better York?

BHA don't need to look for any initiatives as to how punters can lose more money. It appears you just take a mix of York racecourse, a little bit of rain and a bunch of dire jocks and hey presto job done. Bookmakers will be struggling to get the money off the track.

Shadow Hunter causes 'a bit of surprise'. White flag stuff but no doubt you will get the RUK cheerleaders saying what a great meeting it was.

Some odd results today. Perhaps 4 days of racing on the track have contributed to this.

This place sounds just like the bookies as every time a fav gets beat it must be a terrible meeting for punters.

My two have gone to York Tatts instead of Perth.True they are winning but they're not taking a lot.In the Ebor they were topping the machine for the last 5 mins or so on Fields Of Athenry(awash with sweat) & still only stood it for a ton.They would definitely have taken more at Perth.

the Ebor is finished as a punters meeting, York went from the best track in Europe to one of the worst

they got hit today with Litigant, plenty of people knew that was laid out for it and got massive prices, that wasnt as good a result for them as the price suggests

Am not saying that at all, fife (can't speak for others though). Fair play to anyone who found Shadow Hunter or Litigant.

Barton Bank I know what you mean with a lot of short ones being turned over but with 5 places in the big race today and 4 places in the sprint yesterday the races have not been disastrous for punters . If you were meaning on course bookmakers then I agree with you.

Was just speaking personally to be honest. A few winners on the Knavesmire today that could not (imo) possibly be fancied!

You get rubbish to swerve week after week and then you supposedly get quality racing and you get results like these. People are just going to divert money elsewhere or just keep it in their pockets. Anyone who thinks the past four days have been anything other than very bookmaker friendly must be living in cuckoo land. To get both Golden Horn and Acapulco turned over would have been enough on their own but they would have more than topped up today. Even Haggas who had a good meeting ended with two absolute stinkers so anyone who tried to get out on the trainer in form was left a little further up creek alley.

GREAT RESULTS FOR THE BOOKMAKERS(LESS THAN 30% OF THE RING) RESULTS ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE COMMISSION AGENTS THERE QUITE HAPPY WITH A LIVING WAGE

TBH IVE NEVER RATED THE PLACE ...THERES NO IN BETWEEN ...ITS EITHER A GROUP RACE OR A 65 HORSE 12 THE FIELD HANDICAP

yes , "bookmaker" next to me who has everything back didn't take a single bet on two winners.

absolutely wonderful

Do you think any recent purchasers at York have gone along way to recovering their outlay after four days business at the Ebor meeting adge ?

I don't know how you manage without a pitch there , democrat

Very easily ! Do you travel home every night adge for big meetings ?

You don't have to answer that ! But views on the performance of best pitches appreciated. Your 'rep' must have been suicidal after those 50/1 and 33/1 results !!

I had to travel , democrat , not enough pockets....... I know they won 800 on the 50/1 maiden winner [ sp 33/1 ], didn't get the final full report
