In horse racing  , an ante-post bet is a bet placed before the horse-racing course's betting market has opened, and is made on the expectation that the price of the horse  is presently more favorable than it will be when the course's market opens. Generally, this includes any bet placed before the day of the race. Ante-post betting, unlike starting price betting, carries the additional risk that the original bet will be forfeited, rather than returned, if the wagered horse fails to run.Hammond (1992), p. 19.
