JOKE.
You have a bet pre-race, you take your chances...if it doesn't wanna run, just the same as a faller imo.

there was a new rule brought in this year allowing the starter to announce that a horse is withdrawn even if it has come under starters orders
Report SIR DEREK TROTTER April 10, 2010 5:19 PM BST
the horse did not run u d1ckweed , if a horse pulled out 2 mins before the race u would get ur money back, the horse lined up but did not run its a stupid rule to favour the bookies. if u dont agree then i guess ur a bookie.
Report Wickett April 10, 2010 5:21 PM BST
Of course it's a loser!!

If the 2 favs and numerous others refused to start and King Johns won you'd be the sort of fools that wouldn't want a rule 4 to apply either!

Bookie no, but your obviously a losing punter life time. The bookines will probably give you your money back as a concession. They wouldn't want to lose you as a customer
Report Shrewd_dude April 10, 2010 5:24 PM BST
It should be a loser. If not it means Bookies could apply a rule 4. I for one would be furious if I had backed a winner and they applied a 50p Rule 4 because the even money fav refused to run or leave the stalls. It was given the chance to run so is a loser.

Non-runner. Horse never has a chance of winning so money back and rule 4 may apply.

Refusing to run had a chance of winning never took it so losing bet but no rule 4.
Report Wickett April 10, 2010 5:28 PM BST
u hav just shown your utter ignorance!
If it had been the only horse they had taken money on it would favour the bookie. They would rather it had run given the result.
If u do not understand this then please be quiet. This kis an adult forum.

I'll agree I'm right! I don't mind the rule... What happens when a horse has a history of doing it? It's factored into the price....

At the end of the day, they are the rules. You know this when u place a bet... Noone is holding a gun to your head...

Just to clarify

ALL bets on King John Castle have been voided, inc A Post
We paid out on the 5th
We gave money back see t and c's for fallers etc
And we bet to nearly 20% under the industry SP for the duration of the Show

The starter was incompetent bringing it under orders. It never looked like it wanted to race. Making a 155% book and not refunding on a drifting 25/1 shot is disgusting.

The horse never even lined up it got DRAGGED into the line was never gonna race all the bookmakers have ripped off anyone who backed it,its a disgrace to be honest
