Quick question… if you see a lot of money on the lay side on the exchanges does that mean people are laying the shit out of that horse?… I see mydaddypaddy has so much more on the lay side than any other horse

The opposite - money on the pink Lay side is money that wants to back the horse. These are orders waiting to be matched. So in Mydaddypaddy's case there is more money queued up wanting to back him than for any other horse. Although you might think that this means the horse is bound to shorten it doesn't always work like that so be careful - the markets are easily manipulated when they are relatively illiquid.

Him and Leader D'Allier seem quite popular on the regular bookies. Mighty Park has drifted like a barge since opening up at 11/4 yesterday. Out to 4/1 and after seeing a video of him at Cheltenham yesterday surprises me. What a specimen he is

Townend not riding in any of the handicaps (chase or hurdles) for the first two days... Bit of help for the Mark Walsh top jockey bets!

Mad that people actually thought he'd take the ride on Newton Tornado. And that they actually bothered to offer him it in the first place

Does that mean he'll not ride Dino?

Wouldn't be surprised if he was a big shortener on the day as the Ground will definitely be in his favour and possibly against others. OPS won't mind it at all of the front 3/4

Just watched 'good morning Cheltenham' Johnny Dineen predicted Mighty Park will go off about 6/1 because of the algorithms having no form to go on. It's baffling but I can see it. Says money doesn't move markets as much any more but it doesn't mean the horse is no good
 
There was a fascinating piece on Road to Cheltenham about how the exchange markets belong to the syndicates running machine learning now
