Is there a way to detect the final stages of a race in Guardian automation?

[Tomyam10]

Hi everyone,

I am testing an in-play horse racing automation in Guardian and I would like to know whether there is any reliable way to identify the final stages of a race within an automation rule.

For example, is it possible to create a condition such as:

close trade on the selection when around 15% of the race is remaining

trigger a rule only during the final furlong / closing stages

detect when the race is near the finish or entering the run-in

The reason I am asking is that some prices move smoothly in-running, but near the end of the race the odds can move very quickly. Sometimes a close trade / greening rule is triggered, but by the time the order reaches the market, the price has already moved too far.

I am wondering whether Guardian has any built-in condition, stored value, or workaround that can estimate the remaining part of the race, such as based on race distance, elapsed in-play time, or percentage of expected race duration.

For example, if a race is 1 mile, could automation estimate when approximately 15% of the race is left and then trigger a safety close rule?

I understand that the exact final stage may be difficult to detect because each race is run differently, but I would like to know if anyone has found a practical way to approximate this in automation.

Any suggestions or examples would be appreciated.

There are two tools that you have already built into Bet Angel that will do this for you.

The race meter measures the length of the race. It can take that data from your own database, estimate it, or use total performance data.

The most perfect way of doing this is to use Total Performance Data because that will tell you exactly when the horse reaches the final stages of a race.

If you want reliability go with total performance data. If you dont want to pay another sub the BA race meter does the job for me. Taking your example of a 1m race my trade out times with 77.5% of race completed vary between 11 and 23 seconds. Ill probably drop it to 77 and test that as 11 is to late for me. Its doable with a bit of messing around. Race distance, flats/jumps, going, class etc all contribute to speed of race, its just a case of finding the right spot....
