Have no sympathy with the bookies, look at the pay of that Coates woman at 356, they stop most people from winning virtually straight away, and even a couple of million will hardly dent their profits.

the stewards enquired into all 3 horses before they raced, why haven't they asked for explanations from the trainers after the race?

why so many comments on if the bookies will pay out? if they took the prices and no palpable errors AND more importantly their warning systems - I wanted a score at 8s on andy dufresne and billys offered £2.33 at the price!! - then no legal basis not to pay out..

the rights and wrongs behind this gamble - does it include doubles or only the treble? - can be debated here ad infinitum but we all knew the score this morning and god bless them the BHA have had a word beforehand...as another poster said, the two jocks at musselburgh tell a 1000 stories!! midge mullen often rides for jardine and at least that horse a multiple aw winner

Does make you wonder why bookies returned 4/6 that Southwell winner, when no bookies open, just didn't want to take another penny on line.

Fire Away: was heavily punted before winning at Musselburgh
1 of 1
By Andrew Dietz and Tom Ward
UPDATED 3:17PM, FEB 7 2021

All eyes are on Musselburgh and the third leg of a gambled-on big-priced treble after the first two won to leave bookmakers facing potentially significant payouts

The final leg of the treble is the Daragh Bourke-trained Gallahers Cross in the concluding 2m6f handicap hurdle (4.25) at Musselburgh. The eight-year-old opened at as big as 40-1 with some firms but is now as short as 8-13 to pick up a first win for his trainer.

Blowing Dixie landed the second leg of a gambled-on big-priced treble with a comprehensive success in the 1m4f handicap at Southwell.

Trained and owned by Iain Jardine, Blowing Dixie was sent off the 4-6 favourite having opened at 9-1 on Saturday.

That victory came after Fire Away landed the first leg of the gamble in the opening 2m4½f novice handicap chase at Musselburgh.

Fire Away was a general 22-1 when markets opened on Saturday, but was soon trimmed into 6-4 before being sent off the even money favourite at Musselburgh.

BetVictor head of trading Chris Poole said before racing: "We've taken a lot of multiple bets on three horses, all at very big prices and all at roughly the same time last night.

"That's our worst nightmare because there's nothing we can do about these liabilities.  We're stuck with it and we'll lose quite a lot of money. I can't go into figures."

Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield added: "It's fair to say we do have some liabilities and they're not inconsiderable."

On his first start for trainer Laura Morgan having left Bourke earlier this month, the eight-year-old Fire Away obliged by 19 lengths.

Morgan said: "We've only had the horse for 11 days, having bought him from Daragh Bourke. He had a couple of horses for sale and I bought him.

"I did actually go to buy the other lad, but we bought him instead. I definitely got a good buy and fingers crossed, he'll win a few more.

"I got told there was big money coming from Ireland, but I wouldn't have a clue to be honest. One of my bumper horses got smashed here and he got stuffed."

At the request of the BHA's integrity department, the connections of Fire Away were interviewed by the raceday stewards before the race.

They were asked to provide information regarding the selection of the race, their expectations for Sunday, and the riding instructions given. Their comments were noted.

As someone posted they can afford the odd coup but for anyone else who had a bet in that race (like me!) have a legit complaint as the race is a fix
By:

When: 07 Feb 21 15:25
No, punts, these races aren't fixes: the races which got these horses their abysmal form records were the fix. Today, they're trying, which is what they're supposed to do.

Gallaghers Cross (16:25) at 'evens' or shorter got to be a 'lay', surely? Too short; win if he does not bring up a treble. It's nice to see bookies getting caned in a betting coup.

The s/p over round of the Southwell race 148%. off course bookies robbing the punters, this is one reason why they can not have full control of the s/p system when on course bookies are back.
