"starter say the sun was in his eyes" Sure as Foook Wasn`t his Hair |

The starter should be stood down, bookmakers should return bets, what a disgrace.
|

By:
Refused to race is the correct call, it was a runner.
|
|
By:
channel 4 saying non-runner ... what was the rule 4 ?
|
|
By:
Stop whinging, this is racing. mistakes happen. FFS.
|
|
By:
As amateurish as it gets. You can't come under starters orders if he doesnt see you. If he pings the stalls without one loaded, its a NR. See no difference here.

i feel fcukin robbed

By:
he wont be deemed a non runner. but surely he was as he was being held by a third party at the start off
|
|
By:
it's got to be a non runner....the horse was so far away the starter didn't see him so started the race (clear mistake on his part).
|
|
By:
So
|
|
By:
the horse was actually being held at the start of the race
|
|
By:
Paid out here as a loser
|
|
By:
He works for the system, they don't do mistakes, tar.
|
|
By:
Hadnt thought about that - there is a NR rule about being held back by a handler.
|
|
By:
So imagine the scenario that he does eventually get going albeit 40 lengths behind and goes on and wins or gets a place, is it still deemed to be a non runner? Improbable of course but to my eyes it's a runner.

By:
correct yer ma, was used in the 90's when a horse in similar circumstances was held back at cartmel

Laddies are giving a Free Bet in Return.

By:
Yeah runner alright but incompetence by the starter to let them off as they in theory should be in a line.

Skybet have returned my stake

you had too cross the tape at one time ffs.
|

By:
I didnt back it nor did i lay it, far too high a price for me to be a layer also we all know the rules of racing, you places your bet you takes your chance, i've backed many in the past that have refused to race and ive done me doe and i will do it again, BUT all them that got all that money from bsp to 1000 how can you sleep at night knowing your a thief? Thats what makes me feel angry about situations like these!

I think some books will return stakes, but not this machine.
|

By:
I'm not one to call every horse that doesn't start a non-runner but surely that should've been deemed such. The starter clearly didn't spot him until after he raised the flag. The horse was nowhere near the others and I know, everyone knows and the starter knows the thoughts that went through his head at that time............ "Oh F**k" He should've had the decency to put his hands up, admit his mistake and call Grand Gesture a non-runner.
& I didn't even back the horse! |
