Ombudsman is favourite for the Juddmonte International 2026 at 10/11 (1.90), ahead of Constitution River at 9/4 (3.25). 9 horses are priced in the antepost market, which is read from the Betfair exchange once a day and has been tracked here for 41 days. The race is run on 19 August 2026 at York over 1m 2½f.
These are entries rather than the final field. When the Juddmonte International field is declared a few days before the race, every runner is scored across the bot's 15 signals and the result settles in public afterwards, win or lose.

Juddmonte International - your questions
When is the Juddmonte International 2026?
The Juddmonte International is run at York on Wednesday, 19 August 2026. It is a Group 1 over 1m 2½f, part of York, Ebor festival.
Who are the runners and riders in the Juddmonte International 2026?
9 horses are currently in the antepost market for the Juddmonte International, listed above with their live exchange price and how it has moved. That list is the entries, not the final field - jockeys are confirmed at declaration time, a few days before the race, and this page swaps to the declared runners with the bot's full scoring the moment they are published.
What are the odds for the Juddmonte International 2026?
Every entry's live Betfair price is on this page, updated daily, along with the direction it has moved since we started tracking. Prices before declaration are antepost prices - they will change, sometimes sharply, as the season's trials are run.
Will the Juddmonte International runners be scored by the bot?
Yes. York is on our racecard, so when the final field for the Juddmonte International is declared, every runner is scored across the same 15 signals used on every other UK and Irish race that day - and the result settles in public afterwards, win or lose.
Why back the Juddmonte International antepost rather than on the day?
Antepost prices are bigger because the risk is bigger - your selection has to get to August fit, in training and declared. What this page adds is the shape of the market over time: a horse that has halved in price since the spring is telling you something a single day's price cannot.
What does antepost mean?
Antepost betting is backing a horse before the final field is declared - often months before the race. Prices are usually bigger than they will be on the day, because there is more that can go wrong: the horse has to stay fit, stay in training and be entered and declared to run.
What happens to an antepost bet if the horse does not run?
On a traditional antepost bet, the stake is lost if your horse does not line up - there is no refund for a non-runner. That is the trade for the bigger price. Markets priced 'non-runner no bet' return the stake instead, and bookmakers usually switch to those terms closer to the race. Check the terms before you bet; we do not place bets and this is not advice.
Where do the odds on this page come from?
Live from the Betfair exchange, read and stored every day. That means the prices here are what people are actually trading at rather than a bookmaker's board, and because we keep every day's reading we can also show which way each horse has moved - the steamers and the drifters - rather than only where it stands today.
Is this page free?
The market, the movers and the entries are free and need no account. What is behind an account is the bot's own read: each entry's record dialled into the course and distance, and, once the final field is declared, the full 15-signal score on every runner.
