Yeah was a hundred here or there last week... this feels a bit different to me tbh. More significant volumes. Could be one punter with a view but I think its telling myself.
I thought this initially too... but going on that theory, if JP knew that Ballyburn was going to the Supreme, which was apparently the cause a few days ago, and then traders are just playing the market causing the current prices, why would Mystical Power now be sat at double figures for the Bingham? Or whatever it's called now.
Surely JP and anyone associated with him with that information would continue to smash up Ballyburn for the Supreme and Mystical Power for the Bingham, regardless of the market moves? That £307 at 3.7 has been sat there all day with no takers, that would have been gobbled in an instant if it were just traders IMO.

There isn't near enough liquidity on the exchange antepost markets for a JP sized bet until the day itself
Didn't Willie run his around the Curragh today for their final racecourse gallop before the festival? I haven't got a clue how the exchanges really work tbh but is it informative about market moves after his squad have been out today

The moves had already been made yesterday, nothing out of the ordinary has happened regarding willies on the exchange that I can see today
Over the last couple of weeks, there's been the opportunity to lay off stakes on Ballyburn at 2/1 to 3/1 for both the Supreme and Ballymore at various points. If you've got him at say 14/1 in each race, you could have layed stakes off for free bets at decent odds and reinvest the stakes back on race day for whichever he has been declared for. Something to consider for next year's round of Mullins bingo and saves the worrying about what race he goes for.
Or did they want people to think they were in the know to manipulate the market and get some free money
Quite possibly.
My point is that if you think the market moves last week were notable and from people in the know, then you can't write off the ones from the past day or so as just people manipulating the market. And the common consensus from last week was that JP was told where Ballyburn was heading.
If you think that both were/are people manipulating the market, then fair enough!
