How competitive is the Sprint Stakes market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2010 when the race had an over-round of 111%. The race in 2004 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 119%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Sprint Stakes, the over-round has been 116%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £116 which is bet.
Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? From the past 20 if you had followed the winner of the Sprint Stakes next time out then you would have back a total of 2 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since to win at SP next time out, would have returned an LSP of -11.50.
