Racing steamers and drifters

Runners whose price has moved materially since the market opened, across upcoming races. `move_pct` is **negative for a firming runner** (the price shortened — money has arrived) and positive for a drifter. `open_price` is the FIRST PRICE CAPTURED inside the 60-minute pre-race window, not a market open. Capture begins when the race enters that window, so how close that first price is to a true 60-minute open depends on the book — and it is not a clean two-way split. Measured over 13 days of snapshots, the share of series whose first capture sits at the 60-minute mark falls into three groups. `sportsbet`, `betright` and `betr_au` are there on 96-98% of series. `tab`, `ladbrokes_au` and `neds` are there on about 55%, but that figure swings between 16% and 77% from one day to the next, so for these three it is not a property you can rely on per book. `playup` (6%), `unibet` and `pointsbetau` (3%), `tabtouch` (1%) and `palmerbet` (0%) rarely or never are: `palmerbet` has not once been captured earlier than 33 minutes out across 23,641 series. Do not infer any of this from the book. Read `open_secs_to_jump` on each bookmaker row, which says how far out that book's open actually was; `/v1/racing/price-history` additionally returns `open_is_baseline` per series. A move is reported at the RUNNER level and only when at least `min_books` bookmakers have **two or more captured prices**, because a book seen only once has evidenced nothing: its open equals its current by construction. Those books are still listed, with `points: 1` and `counted_in_consensus: false`, and still counted in `books_quoting` — but they do not enter the consensus or the gate. Use `books_with_history` as the confirmation count. **Broad-market support versus one book moving: read the breadth counters.** `books_firming`, `books_drifting` and `books_unchanged` partition `books_quoting`, so they say how many books actually agreed with the headline move. A steam the market backs shows most of `books_with_history` moving the same way; a single-book move shows one, with the rest unchanged, and can still clear `min_move_pct` because the consensus averages over the few books that carry history. Measured live on 2026-09-01, Geelong R4 greyhound "Got Immunity" reported +102.8% drifting on 13 books quoting, of which 5 had history: 3 drifting, 1 firming, 9 unchanged - the headline number came from a minority. Gate on the counters, and on `bookmakers[].move_pct` where you need the per-book evidence, rather than on `move_pct` alone. Raising `min_books` raises how many books must carry history, not how many must agree.

Parameters

NameIn TypeRequired Description
direction query string no firming, drifting, or omit for both
min_move_pct query number no Minimum consensus move, percent
min_books query integer no Only report a move confirmed by at least this many books
categories query string no horse,greyhound,harness or omit for all
category query string no Alias of `categories`. Both spellings are accepted on every racing endpoint since 2026-09-24; before that, using one family's spelling on the other was a hard 422. An unknown value is a free 422 naming the valid ones.
country query string no ISO country codes, comma-separated (e.g. AU). Omit for every country. Pair with include_unresolved=true or you will silently lose races whose meeting is not confirmed yet.
include_unresolved query boolean no Include races whose country is not resolved yet (country is null). OFF by default. Most of an Australian card is unresolved until the meeting is confirmed — measured 3 labelled AU against 21 unresolved in a live window — so country=AU alone can return far fewer races than are running, or none at all.
max_mins_to_jump query integer no
limit query integer no
