What is an unnamed favourite/second favourite?

At the bottom of each race card, you’ll find two buttons labelled 'SP' located alongside 'Favourite' and 'Second favourite'. These options can be used if you'd like to bet on the horse that starts the race as the favourite or second favourite.

If two or more runners are returned at the shortest starting price, the stake is equally divided across the number of favourites. This will also incorporate second favourite bets.

Unnamed favourites may not be included in forecast/tricast bets or each-way bets.
