They order them by reduction factor and then alphabetically. The reduction factor is based on the early 'tissue' price

... for UK horse racing markets. French, US and Australian markets are ordered by saddle cloth number.

and is this information available anywhere? so the order could be emulated in historic data

Not that I know of, it gets output with the price data but don't know of anywhere they provide it alongside the historical data.

Obviously you can emulate the non UK/IRE stuff as the saddlecloth number is included with the name. Looking at tomorrows data they're not even organising the duplicate reduction factors alphabetically so who knows what how they order those these days. First ordering has always been by reduction factor for UK/IRE stuff though.

thanks, it just seems a little short sited of bet angel to have the overriding factor as something that is unobtainable by its users.....
