One week before the ‘greatest show on turf’ starts, and I’m pretty excited!
Although Cheltenham is a different beast compared to the rest of the year, it poses challenges for many as they struggle to adapt and change their trading behaviour to fit around the markets (myself included). But I still really enjoy it! It’s a great opportunity to put your more ‘static’ trading to the test and possibly up the stakes, which is always a different experience. As heart-thumping and scary as it can be, it’s an opportunity you won’t get too many times a year to evolve and learn through experience… I can hardly wait!
This week, I’m going to be following the news on the buildup to the festival for any last-minute price alterations I may be able to cash in on. It will be interesting for me as it’s something I’ve rarely done in the past. Also, I think I’ll be making notes of which runners are to run in big races later on, possibly catching ante-post moves as they happen while the Cheltenham races are run. Last year, I remember watching Big Fella Thanks’ price crumbling for the Grand National as he was running his race at Cheltenham. It’ll be a while to payday with that sort of thing, but it’s a nice feeling to get to the National and open up to a green screen!
Also, I’ve finished the little focus challenge I set myself on the GeeksToy forum now, so I’ll be updating a lot more regularly!
