Accordingly he cannot have been declared and then balloted out.https://community.betfair.com/aintree2011/go/thread/view/121613/29845281/did-anybody-else-lay-gullible-gordon-ante-post-and-not-get-paid?post_id=530997647#530997647As I mentioned earlier, he was above Mortimers Cross in the list of Reserves (who is still in) and in any case, there were spaces for four reserves.
