Australian races - live betting

[WinLoseWinWin]

Can someone please answer this question for me.
How does Betfair determine which Australian races have live betting and which don't?
Previously I thought it was a case of some meetings have live betting and others don't, but today I noticed that the Warrnambool meeting has live betting on races 3, 4 and 5, and then on races 7 to 10, but not on races 1, 2 or 6.
Thanks
Richard

Races 1, 2 and 6 are over fences and Betfair doesn't go into play on jumps races. Given jumps races are banned in most states and few and far between, it's no huge issue.

sportsbet are now betting live during these jumps races. I believe this is the first time they've done so. Not sure how it will go if you can't with one-click. Be interesting if it changes Betfair's Aust policy which I expect has been set in fear of anti-jumps racing protestors.

Thanks for the explanation

We now have Betfair in-play on Australian jumps racing. I first noticed this on an Adelaide race on Saturday then again today.
Haven't seen any discussion just this under the list of June races covered at Betfair Community Home › Other Announcements › Markets Forum › Australian Horse Racing and Harness Coverage - June 2013:
"BSP and In Play will be offered on Win markets for all Australian thoroughbred races."

Not in-play for jumps today at Warrnambool Apparently in-play with Betfair on Sth Aust jumps but not Victorian. Anyone know what's going on there?

Wildly,

I think you might find that all metrpolitan races go in play - so if there is a jumps race at Adelaide (for example) it will go in play - but it might be that jumps racing in regional meetings don't go in play. It might be worth contacting BF and asking them directly.

I do not think you'll find that.
