    That's the headline in a Racing Post article this morning.

    It is suggested that the bookmakers do not factor in to the odds for the Easter Monday games the fact that some teams have had an
    extra day's rest. The evidence, apparently, is that those teams who play on Good Friday and
    on the Monday face a team who played on the Saturday do well and that the extra day's rest
    is a significant advantage to them.

    It probably does make a difference. Its the most baffling part of the season for me, where's the logic in having half the games Friday and half Saturday then having everyone play monday. Half will have had an extra days rest.

    If derby win at Donny they have a play off spot. So hopefully they'll but a crap side out against us

    I'm not even religious and yet that headline sounds so wrong. Look forward to their Christmas headline: "Cashing in on the baby Jesus."
