I'm sure this has been asked before, but I would like to tag a particular horse when I fix the order so I can use the tag to monitor the horse position when I unfix the order in running.

Can this be done please?

Not sure what you mean by "tag". What do you want the tag to look like and what do you want to do with it?

I want it to be remembered as the third place horse so that when I unfix the market I can close the bet if the horse goes second or first. Probably a much easier way of doing this but I cant for the life of me think how :roll:

If its the only one selection you are betting on you could just add a
'Number of Place bet Triggers' condition
On selection is greater than 0

Hmm, thanks Dallas, will think on that.

Its for an in running lay bet automation, where the lays get placed but sometimes the back bets don't get matched. The odds shorten to a red up position I have set but then often bounce back out as the horse looses. Want to add a position rule as well to hold off the red up if the horse is not first or second but don't know how

Just set an SV or signal on the selection when the bet is triggered.

Thanks all!

I have set a value of Third on the third runner when the bet is placed then set the following as a condition to red up, would this work please?
