Now that the betting industry has settled in to producing an SP without the aid (or at most with tiny assistance) of the on course market, am I correct in thinking that the betting shows pre-race given out on TV are derived from the off course mechanism?
I think they are and so has anyone else who goes to the tracks regularly noticed a trend in the on-course market now sometimes bettering the industry produced betting shows (not the SP).
On ITV today at Newmarket, Chapman was banging on about Tuesday in the 1000 Guineas being such and such a price on track but the pre-race show was not reflecting what he was saying. Was this because he hasn't realised the on course market is now different from the 'industry' market off course?
Or, have I imagined this / got it tits up?

he is highlighting the on course prices as on their board
all favourites are now bigger on course than shown in betting shops but total outsiders are bigger in the shop shows...common knowledge

I never watch ITV racing but I wonder if they are aware of this discrepancy? Clearly it is very misleading to announce course prices which are not available to the vast majority.
adge...Yes correct, but what I am saying about Chapman is that he was talking as if the pre-race show (the industry one) was wrong compared to the prices he could see on the boards. As Sparrow says, I wonder if ITV are aware of the discrepancies we are speaking about.
