I’ve taken a diversion from just just posting an image of a result\u00a0to putting some detail into events at the Oaks today. It was such a fascinating market from beginning to end.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first thing that happened was ‘Legatissimo’\u00a0contracted quite heavily, but the pictures showed that it wasn’t enjoying it’s journey to post, so it looked a obvious lay. Slowly but surely the market reacted to it’s behaviour. This generally got worse till the horse cleared the main crowds when it began to settled.<\/span><\/p>\n

This set up a really nice trade. Easy to spot an entry, easy to spot the exit. Look at graph: –<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Legatissimo_8669327\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

A highly liquid market with a a characteristic like that is bound to produce a decent result and that’s what happened. It work well on Betfair, a little too much in all honesty, as it got me distracted. That meant I didn’t take full advantage on Betdaq. However, I did have some automation running. This\u00a0grabbed a useful total anyhow, so that turned a good result in a great one!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Oaks-BD\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Onto the race itself and while I don’t do much in play, the race was a classic. There was a lot of incident and talking points. But the big moment came right at the end when 115\/1 rank outsider ‘Qualify’ got up at the post to get it in a photo finish. It traded for small money at 990 but for lots around 140.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a most memorable Oaks, lets hope the Derby is the same tomorrow. Today was definitely one for the scrapbook.<\/span><\/p>\n
