how long did it take thommo to register that the race was being called off? the stewards waving all the flags and all the horses were virtually at a standstill before he even said that it looked like the race was being called off

If it was me I would dive your total distances by 7 ( no. Of races ) and deduct this from your total distances but who knows. Probably in the tules somewhere ! Good luck finding it !

Distance Meeting Specials If a meeting has 1 or more races abandoned or declared void, then all bets will be void unless a result has already been determined, in which case bets will stand.
Could vary by bookmaker i don't know.

Dane O'Neill is expected to make a full recovery despite requiring surgery after sustaining fractured ribs and vertebrae in a fall at Wolverhampton on Tuesday.
O'Neill, 47, was stretchered off the course after unseating from his mount Eagle Eyed Tom as the stalls opened in the 1m1½f handicap, the first race on Wolverhampton's afternoon card.
The race was swiftly halted and declared void while medical assistance was provided to O'Neill, who remained conscious throughout the initial treatment and journey to hospital.
"Following his fall at Wolverhampton Dane was treated on the track before being transported by the racecourse ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham," O'Neill's wife Laura wrote on social media on Wednesday morning.
"He had a prompt assessment including scans where a fractured thoracic vertebrae and some fractured ribs were discovered. Dane is likely to have surgery in the next few days and the expectation is he will make a full recovery after a period of rehabilitation."
The post stated: "Dane and his wife Laura would like to thank the medical staff for their care and are grateful for all the best wishes received from his friends and colleagues in racing."
