Why are they gone so tight with there early prices. Price changes every couples of seconds. In the first 5 Irish races today Laddies are worst or joint worst price on the favourites. Surely they dont fancy all of them??  Dont understand this non compete stance they are taking. They must be turning away a hell of a lot of morning trade.

Big article in the Racing Post about their IT failure. I didn't agree with a lot of it but they clearly have issues with managing their IT and thus their price management.

I'd say they have thrown their hat at it until the new site goes live next year (according to the RP)

Spoils & laddies are having a competition each day on irish racing to see who can Shorten the most horses....morning prices are a joke and pathetic with both these firms...

What puzzles me with laddies is why on earth have they bought up so many irish shops over the past 5 years or so spending millions upon millions to get there hands on these premises and then stop taking decent wagers and turning punters away with there disgusting morning prices. Almost impossible to get a decent eachway bet on with them anymore too. Trading operation is truly awful.  Confused

Do are doing something right, they've got Hayley O'Connor on board. I would love to have her in the ring at some track.
