Today's Horse Racing Market Movers
Here are today's horse racing market movers, with the latest prices available at the best betting apps.
Steamers
A steamer is a horse whose odds have shortened since the market opened, indicating increased support from punters, perhaps due to stable confidence, favourable ground or a notable jockey booking.
A shorter price doesn’t automatically make a horse a better bet, so check the form, going and trip before backing it.
Remember that even well-backed horses are no certainty, so always gamble responsibly.
Drifters
A drifter is a horse whose odds have lengthened, meaning the market is showing less support than before, although the reason isn’t always obvious – it could be the ground, a stable change, a quiet yard or simply nothing in particular.
A drifter can be worth a second look if you already rate the horse at a bigger price, but it can also confirm a selection you were planning to avoid.
