BBC replay of the race doesn't even mention why the fences are being bypassed.

Is BetFair having problems again?  I won my last sports multi about 1 hour ago, and it still does not show in my balance :O

I backed ATRAAF at Lingfield he broke a leg, don't know if he was put down but I suspect he was.

Horrible race yesterday - can't quite equate to the excitement after that.

the only thing wrong with yesterdays race was the bypassing of the fences.

The winner was dismounted because the BHA told every jockey to do so as soon as they finished and get them cooled down with water asap.

The result of this was no horses collapsed after the race.

Sickening when horses are hurt or die and my heart goes out to the owner who no doubt lost not just a horse but a family pet.
