3. The market warning

Space Bear — 15:40 Curragh
1/12 → 11/1 · -83.74pp

Largest drift recorded across 13 previous 10am market snapshots.

Historical percentile: 100th.

A drift is not automatically a lay. The point is whether today's weakness resembles the markets in which this horse has previously failed — or whether it has historically ignored market weakness.
