Hi all,

I was trading whole day today going from pre race to inplay (part of ma strategy got stakes adjusted etc.) all was going as planned then in this 2 races:

Newc 1st Nov : 1m Nov Stks Headman 1.80

Wolv 1st Nov : 1m1f Nursery Calling The Wind 1.92

Price just burst to the upside going to in play and clear quite a few ticks, is it due a huge amount of money (300K) matched on this horses and a short price caused this explosion ?

If you're trading in-play prices will change drastically due to events on the racecourse, for example, a horse stumbling badly and losing a lot of ground.

If a horse rears in the stalls or looks uncomfortable as there about to go off there will be a sudden drift, money will really thin out as they're about to go in-play so it's doesn't take that much to move a price around that time and even more so on weaker markets to begin with

Headman started the race running very green, the penny dropped as the race went on and won quite impressively.

Calling Wind literally fell out of the stalls, caught up well, but it ultimately cost it the race.

In both instances the price would have burst outwards.
