The Betfair live stream was playing up again today. Absolutely useless. So I opened a new tab and watched on the RacingTV website. Always seems to be the races showing on their platform that are affected through Betfair. The Sky Racing events seem to work fine. Maybe Betfair haven’t paid the bill.

The racing at Salisbury was well delayed. By a good ten minutes, which meant it was to late to trade the following races at Perth. So only traded York and Salisbury. A strange thing happened in the 16:15 at York. Yaahobby went berserk in the stalls and the jockey had to bail. The horse was taken from the stalls and removed from the race. The horse was still trading on the ladder though. So I laid it and it went in play. Normally I would never let a race go in play but I though I can’t lose seeing as the horse wasn’t even in the race. Sure enough money was still being traded in play, so I backed it to take a hedged out profit of £7.30. Unfortunately, and obviously, the money was all handed back. So null and void. Ended up being a quiet day with only three trades after that last one on Yaahobby was refunded. Still, ended the day in profit so all in all a good day.
