Photo suspended late

What is more astounding is that they actually RE-Opened a Market for an IRISH PHOTO-Finish.

Even Leopardstown did NOT RE-Open the other evening - which is ridiculous.

Richard@betfair: We can only open and suspend as our OCRs tells us and we are on the phones for the duration of any Photos/Stewards. The market did not trade out which suggest that we suspended before the result was known. We have followed our usual protocol for Photos/Stewards and we are satisfied that bets were not placed before the result was announced.


hmmmmmmm

The 2nd went from 1.3 to 11.0 at the same time as I heard the Irish lady announce the result on LV. Then BF suspended. They've got this one totally wrong.

me: how would they explain the sudden price move??
Richard@betfair: I cant answer that. Maybe another replay shown on TV, its hard to say but it seems they are happy with the market management in this instance.

And how can they explain that I heard the announcement before they suspended?

I know the race you're referring to & the judge didn't actually call a photo finish.

Has been said on recently that they seem reluctant to even in very tight finishes.

Photo markets can be extremely volatile and large moves in price are no surprise. Having reviewed the replay  there was a 53 second gap between the photo being called and the result being announced.

We opened the stewards inquiry at 20:05:28 and Suspended on the OCRs command at 20:06:17 a gap of 49 seconds.

Operators are on the phone with OCRS throughout this entire process to ensure we open and suspend as quickly as possible.

Basically nonsense reply, the bloke on the phone obviously f'd up and they not gonna admit it....

between the photo being called and the result being announced.

same thing isnt it?

They had a Bloke at the Don a Few years back calling The hare Running ,One night I was talking to him he was Deffo slinging a few Pints down ,Come the last race I doubt he Knew what the fook was going on Never mind the hare running
