What does "next to jump" mean?
"Next to jump" is the next scheduled race about to leave the barriers — the race whose countdown is closest to zero. Punters watch next-to-jump lists to time their bets, catch late market moves and spot scratchings before the jump. It's one of the most-used features on any Australian racing site during the afternoon and evening programs.
How to use this page
Races are listed in scheduled jump order across every Australian track and all three codes — thoroughbred, greyhound and harness. Tap any race for the full field, barrier draw and live odds, or compare prices first on our odds comparison. Times refresh every 60 seconds and reflect scheduled post times; stewards can delay a jump, so treat the countdown as a guide.
Reading late market moves
The minutes before a jump are when the market tells you the most. A firming horse — one whose price shortens from $6 to $4.50 — is being backed by people with information; a drifting favourite often has a hidden problem. Our odds page tracks the best price on every runner, and Racebot reads the field in seconds if you need a second opinion before the barriers open.
