Horse Racing Exchange Betting on Winmatch
On the Winmatch horse racing exchange you back a runner to win or be placed, or lay it to lose. Markets come from the daily race card for Indian, UK, Irish, Australian and New Zealand racing, and most money arrives in the final minutes before the off.

How we test this
Test method: We opened race cards from several countries, compared win and place markets for the same race, and checked how the rules describe non-runners and reformed markets.
Test results not yet published. We only publish findings after a team member has checked them on the live site.
Popular horse racing markets
Win, place and each-way-style exchange markets from the daily race card. These cover UK, Irish, Australian, New Zealand and Indian racing.
The place market pays if your horse finishes in the paid places, and the number of places depends on the field size. Place prices are much shorter than win prices for the same horse, so compare both before choosing.
Indian racing on the exchange
Indian race cards come from turf clubs such as Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mysuru and Ooty, depending on the season. These markets are usually smaller than UK or Australian racing, so check the money available before staking.
What moves the odds
Prices can move sharply in the final minutes before the off. Watch for non-runners.
Going (ground conditions), jockey bookings and draw position move prices in the hours before a race. When a horse is withdrawn, the market may be suspended and reformed, and matched bets on other runners can be adjusted under the market rules.
A runner is declared a non-runner.
Betting pauses while prices are reset.
Bets on the withdrawn horse are void.
Matched bets on other runners may be adjusted under the rules.
