Yes, you never see this in UK races as the liquidity is there at every price.
Australia is next best, the example you gave is the exception, usually this doesn't occur on favourites but can occur on horses $10 plus.
Followed by the USA.
Then we have RSA where just about every lay bet at SP pushes the price beyond reasonable levels.
They aren't going to change the way SP is calculated because everyone is happy to use it as is, but to be sustainable for outside UK the calculation of SP needs to be done on the price with the most money traded - simple!
Distortion of SP is a real problem as it stands.
