Anyone here know the correct procedures when a horse is disqualified ie sixmilebridge today. Potters charm has been awarded the race but bookies don't seem to be paying out on the new result. Only asking because I was waiting on him for a bet as we're a lot of others I would imagine.

My understanding is they settle by 'first past the post' rule

So really, a justice refund/payout is all you can hope for

Very unlikely

6 day entries start today
BHA site best place to see what’s going on?

I don’t think it’s much use until decs CAT.

You can track decs but not sure on entry stage, think you need a log in, might be wrong with that though.
 
I want some of my NRNB money back ideally today :jaded:

Trying to remember back from last year, think we did get them back this stage, maybe worth noting it on site somewhere like we do with when firms go nrnb, as I've memory like sieve!

I had 200 on a greyhound called Farloe Victory to win the Greyhound Derby ante post at 33-1. She finished second to a dog who was disqualified….and this wasn’t a misdemeanour type situation I don’t think, if I remember correctly it was blatant and I believe ( though someone may know better) the trainer got banned for life. She is there on the record books forever now and I didn’t get a penny. It’s a tough pill to swallow but you get over it (coz obviously this post evidences I am clearly over it:welcoming:)

For betting purposes the 'weighed in' announcement is all that's needed for bookies to pay out and no changes can be made thereafter....

Finally .... Cheltenham begins :greedy_dollars::greedy_dollars::greedy_dollars::greedy_dollars:
 
I am disgusted with the McNeill daughter’s behaviour and comments regarding Masaccio. The part owners ashes are coming back to the UK next week. She seems completely oblivious. Spiteful piece of self entitled shit.

I have a question for you guys. How did you get into betting antepost and The Festival in particular?.

For me I stumbled across this site and read about people having double figures against Samcro in the Ballymore and wondered how. I’ve been betting since I was about 5 years old (thanks dad) and used to skip school for Cheltenham :welcoming: but never considered betting antepost before.
