It looks to be shaping up for a good August, which is great, as I&#8217;m keen to see a good end to the summer racing season. Things go downhill from here!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Monday saw the end of the evening racing at Windsor signalling a start to the end of the evening racing. This means less opportunities around but it&#8217;s also the time to expand my activity in other areas to compensate. I&#8217;ve also been working very hard in some new areas which will come on stream as we exit the Summer racing. I hope this will be an area of growth for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a side note, one thing to be wary about today at York is the rain. If we get a fair bit the markets will start discounting this into the prices. So I am expecting a slightly more volatile day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1227\" title=\"090819 - 1525 - Copy - logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betangel.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/090819-1525-Copy-logo3.png\" alt=\"090819 - 1525 - Copy - logo\" width=\"527\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/090819-1525-Copy-logo3.png 527w, https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/090819-1525-Copy-logo3-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_1221\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"1221\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=betangel\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was a big improvement on the first day of the York.
