Market movers
Every runner's price plotted from the previous evening to the off, with each horse classed as a steamer, a drifter or steady - overnight and since 9am. See which horses the money found before you follow it.

One card.
Three ways to read a race.
A standard racecard gives you the form figures and today's price. Ours adds what happened to that price, what the draw has done at this trip, and what each horse did the last fifty times it ran - and puts all three on one page.
Stall draw bias
For flat races: how the low, middle and high stalls have fared at this course over this exact distance, as a heat map, a stalls chart and the underlying data - with today's stalls marked against each band.
Detailed race history
Each runner's record, run by run: course, going, class, SP, Betfair SP, the highest and lowest prices it traded at in running, and whether it dobbed or trobbed. Plus the field ranked on wins and strike rate over the past year.
Follow the money.
Not the noise.
The Market Movers chart draws the price of every runner as a line on one timeline, from the first show the evening before through to the last minutes before the off. The prices are a bookmaker consensus - the exchange is left out - so the line shows what the firms are doing, not one thin market.
The evening before, to the off
Fixed points at 9pm the night before, then 9am and every hour on race day. As the race gets close, the chart adds finer points - an hour out, thirty minutes, fifteen, five - so late money shows up as late money and is not smoothed away.
Price, or win chance
Read the chart as decimal prices, where a line that falls is a horse being backed, or switch to implied win percentage, where a line that rises is the horse the market is warming to. Hover any point for the fractional and decimal price at that moment.
Two signals on every runner
Each horse is classed twice: overnight - the evening's opening price to 9am, where the traders and ante-post money move - and today - 9am to now, where the punters move it. A shortening price is a steamer, a lengthening one a drifter, with a strong grade for the big moves.
Judged in its own price zone
Two points off a 2/1 shot is a big move; two points off a 33/1 shot is nothing. Short prices are measured in probability points, mid prices as a percentage of the odds and long prices in raw decimal points, so a steamer means the same thing at either end of the market.
Where the stalls
win from.
On the flat, the draw can decide a race before it starts. The Draw Bias panel takes every result we hold at this course over this exact distance, groups the stalls into low, middle and high bands and shows how each band has performed against what the market expected. Jumps races carry no stalls, so the panel only appears on flat cards.
Three bands, one glance
Each band is a bubble coloured against the baseline - green where it has beaten expectations, red where it has fallen short - and the panel names which of today's stalls fall into which band. Field size matters, so the bands can be set by gap-adjusted stall position or by stall as a share of the runners.
Every stall, on its own
Behind the bands, a chart of the win rate from each individual stall at this trip. A band can hide a single stall that does all the work; the chart shows it.
Diff, A/E or profit
Measure the bias as the difference from the baseline, as A/E - actual winners over the winners the market implied, so 1.20 means a band won a fifth more than its prices said it should - or as profit and loss to level stakes at SP. Bubbles can be sized by the number of runners behind them.
Know how much sits behind it
The races and runners feeding the panel are printed on it. A bias built on forty races is a hint; one built on four hundred is evidence. The data tab lays out the numbers behind every band so you can check for yourself.
Every run.
Every price.
Form figures tell you where a horse finished. The race history tells you what happened on the way: the price it went off at, the price the exchange settled at, and how short it traded in running. Under every runner on the card, its record is laid out run by run, most recent first.
Course, going, class, connections
Each row carries the date, course and going, the race and its distance, the class or pattern, the jockey and trainer, and whether it won. Winning runs are picked out, so a horse that keeps finding one at a course or a trip stands out down the column.
SP, Betfair SP, in-play high and low
Alongside the industry starting price sits the Betfair SP and the highest and lowest prices the horse traded at in running. A horse that went off at 8/1 and traded at 1.5 before being caught ran a very different race from one that was never involved - the form book says "4th" for both.
Dobbers and trobbers
A run dobs when the horse trades at half its Betfair SP or shorter in running - the point a back-to-lay trade would have doubled its money. A run trobs when it trades at a third. Winners count as both. A horse that dobs in most of its runs is one that travels and gets involved, whether or not it wins.
Performance stats across the race
Above the runners, four charts rank the whole field over the past year: most wins, highest win rate, most wins at today's distance and most wins at this course and distance. Consistency, or the lack of it, before you have opened a single runner.
And the rest
of the card.
Every runner has its own card with silks, form, best odds and a price check across the bookmakers, its connections, breeding and ratings, the spotlight comment and stable tour, and its medical history and changes of yard. Course-and-distance winners and beaten favourites are flagged on the name.
The same signals - favourable draw, won last time out, dobbers and trobbers, class drops - are what the System Builder turns into rules and backtests. Spot a pattern on a card, then find out whether it has ever paid.
