FRIDAY:

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

A 40/1 chance well worth considering in the Cambridgeshire - and the other ITV Saturday races are also covered in here too, with updated double entries after the Irish weekend decs. For @AKBets ; https://t.co/v7VeRN9ppg

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

@AntePostFlat Or I can wait, nothing urgent . Thanks

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

No 9-4 ante-post favourite Alwaysanangel in Rockfel; Cheveley Park bound?

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

@AntePostFlat Summarise for me please...

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

@CraigThake Said NQ on BHA decs tracking for all 6

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

I hope yesterday's 8mm at Newmarket was the end of the watering. It has changed the going to good and, starkly, moved the going stick reading to 6.7 from 7.8 on Monday. In reality, it was probably more extreme as a reading wasn't given on Tuesday morning; https://t.co/v7VeRN8RzI

Presumably this caught the five trainers out: "4yo+ which have started in two or more chases at ARC Racecourses this season, at least one of which must have been a qualifier."

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

@CraigThake Not had time to look into why - King Roly, Nickelforce, Mumford's Magic, Ghasham, Little Ledgend, Tamarind Bay all in 2.05pm Worcester. Presumably so obscure it caught out 5 trainers (one had 2 of above)

@Osmosis28 @ToteRacing I suspect it had something to do with big players/seeding/self interest but who knows

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

Still no word from the @ToteRacing why they voided bets on the rescheduled Ayr card on Saturday. The dexterity on the day was applauded but people had winning bets voided, and I can't work out why.

[G T C @gtclaydon]

@tony_calvin @ToteRacing @britbet @bet365 @bet365help They are saying the tote voided the bet it has been settled correctly which is ok , but there’s a 2 hour window between when tote voided and they voided they where the race has been run

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

@CraigThake Here is one for you. Six horses in the ITV chase final at Worcester on Friday aren't qualified; never seen those numbers before.

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

@CraigThake Hopefully. As long as they don't water again; haven't looked what 6.7 means historically

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

@CraigThake It is officially good now.

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

Frankie Dettori, Stake, a PR company and favours being asked of the media - our opening @AKBets pod question on 63 minutes. Nothing wrong was done but we saw the email sent to journalists and it didn't sit well with us given the firm in question is an unlicensed bookmaker in UK.

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

This is a must listen

The House Of Lords Liaison Committee report made for grim reading last week. On yesterday's @AKBets podcast, @HarryStewartMo1 gave a thorough assessment of it and it is very worrying for racing and betting;

[Tony Calvin @tony_calvin]

Unregulated and unlicensed bookmakers got another airing on this week's @AKBets podcast, as they carpet-bomb users of TikTok and Instagram, not to mention tipsters. @AKBets87 thinks it is time for the social media companies to act or be fined;
