Derby Day
An interesting day yesterday. The two Tennis semi finals were good, but not perfect trading fodder. I could have done with Murray coming back into the match a bit. Nadal / Murray had matched bet volume of £30m, the other semi was almost exactly the same amount. The Oaks had matched bet turnover of £2.6m.
Turnover on the Oaks was up on last year, but that can be accounted for by the way the field manifests itself. I will be keeping a keen eye out for the numbers on the Derby today. Given all the press around the Derby it should attract more than average interest today you would think.
Tennis will have to take a back seat to the horses today. I may look at the footy later depending on how the racing is going. I’ve got a really bad summer cold and chest infection to go with it, so I may have an easier day if the afternoon goes well.
