7 ran TIME 2m 8.94s (slow by 2.44s) Total SP 113%
NON RUNNER: Focail Mear

Their timeform results page shows 8 runners at the top and 7 and the bottom with no non-runner mentiond.

And is it first four in non-handicaps with 16+?

You are probably right PPG and Rihard has an h instead of another letter in his name

OP, did u have a sportsbook or exchange bet ?

fmear came out the day prior, before betfar would have loaded the market, it was suspended from running by the bha, so only 7 were in the market from it's start hence 2 places

i will stand corrected if someone knows otherwise

think u right Elise, market was never 3 places

the racing post show  8 runners in their card
and their result shor 8 runners one being  a non runner
how are we suppose to know its only a 7 horse race

Because in the RP it will say Non Runner against the non-runner

Either look at the number of runners in the BF market or look at the place terms?

BF have always (well, all the 4+ years I've been on here) set the place terms according to the number of runners in the market at the time that it is loaded.

as per longbridge, you need to check the place terms under the rules tab on the betting page, small box in the rules section shows how many are to be placed

Clearly Rihards doesnt have a clue what hes on about.
It has nothing to do with numbers participating on the exchange wheras the sportsbook it does.

If you add up the market %s from the Betfair Sps from the results page for the race, you get 199.99%, which shows there were 2 places, as it was close to 200%. If there were 3 places, the %s would have added up to a figure close to 300%.
