Hello guys,
I have been trading football for a couple of months now and decided I would like to try my hand in horse trading as well. The thing is - I am new to horse racing and I find it hard to predict when there will be the best liquidity - for example, I wanted to trade this Sunday and was quite surprised there was very little liquidity compared to Wednesday.

Thus I'd like to ask which days in a week (as well as times in a day) have the best liquidity in horse racing? Is there some general rule (i.e. Saturdays & late afternoons are the best) or do you just use some sort of schedule?

Thanks in advance!

Check out the racing post for the higher graded races. That should point you in the right direction. The featured races on Saturday ITV always do well.

I am on my phone at the minute but I believe they are ante post races.

Itv do a show on tv every Saturday and they feature the most competitive.

Look for the higher class of the races and the prize money on offer. These generally attract the most volume and liquidity.

This information is normally at the top of any racecards.
