Odds firm

Odds firm (a firmer)

This is when in the lead-up to a race, the odds of a certain horse get increasingly shorter as more and more people continue to back it in.

This race horse is referred to as the firmer, and it is the one that late money suggests will get the job done.

"Look at the late go on that international horse. It's getting absolutely crunched, easily the biggest odds-firm all day."
