SP is an abbreviation for ‘Starting Price’ and until now has been more widely associated with traditional bookmaking. The method by which SPs are set for each runner varies in different countries. Traditionally in Australia the Starting Price for any horse in any race has been determined by the most common prevailing price available in the bookmakers ring at the meet in question.
