Came on here to debate races, probably not much point in that until this clears up. Awful news. Hope it doesn't have a huge impact on the animals themselves and is contained pretty quickly.
From a selfish punting perspective it is probably the worst situation for many reasons, first off already sitting on a loss through horses that sustained injuries or worse, plus cashed out bets, and secondly all the hours/time/debate/discussion of research and you lose any 'deserved' decent prices you may have that are no longer and likely never will be available again, should the festival not go ahead. I presume bets will be void only.
Don't get me wrong, my main concern is obviously all of the horses welfare, and I wish all of them speedy recoveries. Fingers crossed for some good news over the coming week or so.

The main thing is the horses are treated quickly as otherwise this could be devastating to the industry.Last edited by Sirbetalot; 7 February 2019, 07:44 AM.

Sorry I think I am wrong...
If a race is postponed but then takes place at the same track at a later date then all ante-post bets will stand. However, unless advertised differently ante-post bets will be declared void in the following circumstances:
the race is abandoned and does not take place at a later date at the same track;
the race is declared void;
the race is moved to a different track;
the selection is balloted out;
the selection was ineligible for the race at the time the bet was struck. For example, if after all entry stages have been closed, a bet has been struck on a runner who is not in the list of entries then the bet will be considered void;
it is not possible for the selection to win at the time the bet was struck, for example the horse is dead;
the ante-post bet is offered "with a run" which is a specific ante-post bet where stakes are not lost on the non-running horse.
