Are they greyhounds?! 8.32pm is an odd time for a horse race...normally the timings are rounded to the nearest 5 mins, in this case, 8.30pm.

Still going for the budget bets. And Coventry dropped from 29s to 25/1 whilst I was putting in the double 🤬

Has Playupskyblues always had that short an odd for his races ? Or is that down to all the overly happy Cov fans throwing their holiday money at him ? :p

It’s to help with the SIS coverage I think (SIS being the live TV feed that bookies use). They’re trying to avoid ‘picture in picture’ situations where the next race is off before the previous race has concluded and they have to show both. By tweaking times outside of the traditional 5 or 10 min blocks they can add a bit of contingency. When Ireland did it we had to follow suit really as it made some clashes worse when we were out of synch.

It's not a great race and the horse ran in better grades of race last season and the price reflects that . Not sure it's trained on but this won't take a lot of winning .

It was 5-1 at SP, but just checked and seen that 11-1 was available in the morning. I missed out but hopefully some CCFC fans filled their boots and can now pay for a Sunderland match ticket :)

Playupskyblues running again today at Newcastle at 8pm, currently 11/2, might have a fiver on the win 😉

Drifted to 11/1. Punters must have watched the highlights of the game.

Edit: Who's the rich bugger on here who has just put a wedge on? Gone down to 100/30 while typing this.

It was backed this afternoon. The owner (Gary Allsopp) had one over jumps at Worcester earlier

Managed to get on at the end but you know if something is smashed like that there's a reason why

11-1 into 10-3?? Jeez
I think SkyBet might have been playing up, it does seem extreme. Plus in the history it doesn't show it drifted that much.

I searched for the horses name, added to my slip, posted on here by the time I went back it was asking me to accept the new prices.

Had a cheeky fiver on it anyway.
