End of flat season nears – Trading advice

18/10/2013 | By | Reply More

Nice to see Cheltenham on the card again, but with the first two races containing a total of nine runners, I’m not getting that excited about the jumps just yet.

Traditionally the end of the flat season is the November handicap at Doncaster. This falls on the 9th of November this year. But tomorrow being champions day at Ascot, will more or less be a celebration of the flat season.

The forecast for tomorrow is better than I expected but it will still be unsettled and perhaps errant. This could be a factor tomorrow as your can’t ‘unwater’ ground. Though it looks at the moment that the bulk of the rain will arrive on Sunday. Not so fussed about that!

Champions day aside the end of the flat and start of the Jumps season can be a bit erratic so I scale back stakes and play it safe to navigate through what are traditionally choppy markets. If you search the blog around this time each year you should be able to see prior comments on the same period.

Where you get poor quality racing and / or form lines are weak, people have a tendency to change their mind a lot more and that’s what you are seeing at the moment. Also people don’t tend to commit as much to the market in this state.

But putting that to one side, I’m looking forward champions day tomorrow.
