BHA seem very harse here. A genuine computer error has cost Ballydoyle £60k, when they are the biggest flat training outfit. Seems a genuine FAT FINGERS moment, which they reported to the BHA immediately. Seems to me yet another case of old farts occupying the BHA imho.
They should accept the error and reinstate for free.
Mr O'Brien was prbably being very gallant to his staff whith this.
I doubt whether a computer 'went beserk' and flashed up the Dante Stakes instead of the Guineas!!
Me thinks that someone was rushing and hit the wrong button in error.
Too many mistakes made evrywhere today but they all don't cost two lots of £30k supplimentary entry fees!!!

All this talk of 60 grand and bleeding hearts for this lot makes me laugh!
IF Albert was that far above the others he’d only need to pay the one supp fee! wow all 3 are capable of winning this!
Oh and he’d of saved more money by taking out PRico!
Money is nothing to this bunch of ….

Scratchings are notified immediately to betting markets now. If the BHA let him get away with this one, what's to stop someone from scratching a fancied runner in the future and taking advantage of the 1000.0 on here for a cheeky fifty quid before it's reinstated because it was a computer error, guv?

One of the Coolmore boys was judicially laughed-at in court recently when he took the parents of a disabled kid to court over the sale of a country house or estate. And, envelopes containing many 50 euro notes were used as "persuaders" to smooth the transaction. Sadly, this was all deemed to be unethical, disingenuous and downright improbable by the judge.

Wasn't Coolmore's argument based on a "verbal handshake", was it a bit like the "verbal handshake" they themselves laughed at when dealing with Ferguson over Rock Of Gibraltar.

Re verbal handshakes -- this is going back a couple of decades but I once spoke to someone on the admin side for one of "the lads" and he said basically that all of them owned fractions of all the horses regardless of which colours they ran in but trying to nail down who owned precisely how much of whom was nigh-on impossible.

Going into the Greenham today still mainting that line that was said after the “mistake”.
"We're happy with him and it was kind of a late decision to run," said O'Brien. "We've just been very happy with him since the Curragh. He's been doing everything right. We thought it would be a nice race for him before the Guineas, if we're going to supplement him.“
Can get 25/1 if you think that’ll happen.

Brought him fit so he can get a good gauge to them, sacrificed this early in the season whilst prepping for a different race if you take his other comments as him being real?
