EXETER

It did attempt to start and then the jockey gave up, he should've really jumped off or faced the other way

If its deemed a non-runner there are going to be more problems.

starter an utter idiot

surely must be a non runner

Sense it won't be a NR and the starter has had a shocker.

only a complete idiot lets them go with 1 behind 10l

Has to be a runner imo, the fact he decided to start going forward does it for me

starter denied the horse a fair start

If it is declared a nr later bookies will have paid out without R4 and also 3 places EW

i laid it and hope to get paid but should not be

nr and brutal reduction on the 3rd in the place. 49>17

Declared a NR, bookies will be happy

Personally think that's the wrong decision, probably done this so the starter doesn't get a kicking for being useless

v fair price for 3pl given it was 90 bar 3 in the win market before deductions

bad e/w refunded and/or paid out with R4 @ 1/4, 2pl instead of 1/5, 3pl
you think they're up on the deal?

I was taking the p1ss, concourse probably paid out and loads of others would've paid out.

Crazy decision to make that a NR

enquiry was called early if books paid out early after what played out more fool them

enquiry was called early

that's the only good thing about this incident

seems stewards bailed out starter by acting quickly
