Starting on Soft looks very, very likely doesn't it.

Unlikely but Sofy to Heavy on day 1 is 100/1 with PP

worth a small stakes bet

Soft was 13/8 for a good while there but best price 5/4 now I can see with PP, Hills abs skybet.

That will just be firm or good to firm at 100/1, I’ve just checked, not as you interpret as ‘any other ground’.

it will be either be confirmed as ‘Soft, heavy in places’ (5/4) or ‘heavy, soft in places’ (8/1).

Or just soft at 5/4 and heavy at 8/1.

Soft to heavy at 100/1 won’t exist.

If it did, it would be the best 100/1 speculative price in history.

I know we're using it to gauge what we'll get but betting on the going is some degenerate stuff isn't it haha

Another scorcher today, definitely the nicest day we’ve had post Christmas, plenty of warmth in the sun and a gentle breeze.

Via @JamesStevens180, the official going has changed from SOFT, HEAVY IN PLACES to SOFT at Cheltenham. (Twitter)

When you say “degenerate stuff” Robith, how could you enlighten us on that thought?

Surely if any market is available, on any sport, it’s up to the punter to seek value, on every specific bet they play?

8/13 on good to soft and 7/4 on soft just a few days ago was an invitation to explore value - 16/1 with PP for heavy was, also, an exceptional play.

It might well turn out that good to soft is the order of the day, but to call it ‘degenerate’ as a betting opportunity I feel is slightly harsh, in my opinion.

The haha is a clue.

It was a very very serious comment that definitely deserved this analysis. Enjoy betting on grass pal

P.s. I wet my bed

[FinalFurlong91]
