The Horse racing thread

[Hardy]

Does anyone have link to live stream of racing uk? I know someone posted the link last year. I waslooking for it but couldnt find it.

That may have been Betfair's live video - no longer available.

The best bet is racinguk.com but it's a subscription service - £10/month.

There are a few unofficial streaming sites here:

Must have missed that.

2.40      Reve De Sivola   9/1        e/w
3.20      Peddlers Cross  4/1        win
5.15      Divers               8/1        e/w

Quevega will probably win the 4.40 but will be no price; probably go off evens or worse.

An Enda Bolger trained horse will more than likely win the 4.00 race.  He has 4 runners in the race but it is probably between either Garde Champetre (5/1) and Lami (7/1).

I shall be keeping my hands in my pockets for the rest of the card!  Its only Tue!!

[Radda bout yeee]

Is there any value in keeping an eye on oddschecker just before each race to see whose showing positive and negatives on all the betting exchanges when they're going down and betting accordingly?

well Radda market moves can occur at anytime and can be based on good sound knowledge but the majority of the time they are based on opinions an example being the ground or how a horse looks in the paddock. The majority of these horse that are running in the bigger races should be at the top of their game coming into today so it will be up to the individual punters to make theri mind up and place the money. A horse not eating up overnight is enough to sway a betting ring, once someone gtes wind of this the horse will drift in the market. You also have to take into account the journey especially the Irish horses but all these factors could lead to last minute market movement. The key is getting the right information before betting and only sometimes betting exchanges reflect this.

Thanks winsamsoon. Was just thinking it could be a useful tool to back a long shot for an each way bet - haven't tried dong this before!

On another note should we set up a new thread for just people to pick winners each day to see who does best!!! Your man stiffler picked the most winners in 2009 and i'm sick of his slabbering!!!
