Rule 4 Midlands National

Theres a CHART that they go by & THATS THAT!

But there was no guarantee he would of gone of fav..never mind.

It surrounds the "price" at withdrawal M8

The whole market for that race is sick 16 runner wide open race all the market us tight around 6to 10 -1 bookies didnt have to take a penny for anything this morning because of the non runners as usual punters get screwed and scum win  with their robbery ..

corals rule 4 this morning worked out at 60p for 1 horse and 50p for the other. how they can get away with this is beyond me.

Fred Rule 4 50p for both PW horses. Books should allow customers the option of a R4 at advertised prices during guarantee period.

Also, I note number of N/Rs in race and expect another to come out. Contrast with Cheltenham where connections aren't easily influenced to pull out horses.

Also, books are having it both ways about the time of a Rule 4. If a subsequent NR's price doesn't qualify for Rule 4 when the bet is placed, but then shortens (as they do) to a price that does qualify, before it is withdrawn, then Rule 4 is calculated on the price at the time the horse was withdrawn. Alternatively, if a subsequent NR's price does qualify for a Rule 4 when the bet is placed, but then lengthens to a price that does not qualify, then the Rule 4 is calculated at the price when bet the was placed. I don't mind one or the other but I strongly object to both.
