It's known that in UK horse racing, the markets usually get busy around 5 minutes and 2 minutes before the off. But does Aussie racing follow the same pattern, or does it behave differently as the race gets closer?
If it’s different, is it just because there’s less volume, or are there other factors like how people trade or the liquidity in the market? Anything I should keep in mind when trading Australian races?
Do UK and Aussie Horse Racing Markets Act the Same Before the Start?
Peter has been promising to do a video about the 2min madness in the UK. I'm very much looking forward to it.
I havent heard anyone describe AU racing in the same way.
At a rough approximation, there is virtually no volume in most AU races until the last 5 mins. Melb/Syd on a Saturday might be a bit different.

Markets across different geographies do exhibit slightly different behaviour. US Racing, for example wait till the pools are high enough before starting. But Aussie racing nearly always starts on time and rarely has loose horses.
But, in generally, they trade in similar ways. It's just shape of the market that alters.
