So far it's been settled as the original result, then resettled with the corrected result.

People who backed the wrong horse in photo betting still want paying out as the judge called the wrong one the winner, and it wasn't noticed before they'd weighed in?

The letter of the rules yes, not something I'd be chasing up, personally. It is lacking competency from bf, or someone took the judgement that it's easier than facing down complaints from those on the corrected winner (something that I know they do, much to my chagrin).

but.why have the BHA changed the officail resulkt 1 hour after the race and after the weighed in was announced? that is a fragrant breach of their own rules.

Race 8 - 5:35pm
THE EVERY RACE LIVE ON RACING TV OPEN NATIONAL HUNT FLAT RACE (CLASS 4) (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB RACE)

Permission was given for ROCK ON RONNIE (IRE) to wear a red hood to the start.

An enquiry was held to establish the circumstances surrounding why the Judge incorrectly announced KSAR D’DOUDAIRIES (FR) as the winner and FISKARDO (IRE) as the second placed horse before subsequently re-announcing the correct result after the weighed in signal was given. The Judge, the Photo-Finish Operator, and the Chief Steward were interviewed. Having heard their evidence, a report was forwarded to the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority for further consideration and the amended result was as follows: First – FISKARDO (IRE), Second – KSAR D’OUDAIRIES (FR), Third – ROCK ON RONNIE (IRE), Fourth – AR AIS ARIS (IRE) after the weighed in signal had been given.

Rule 68.4 After the announcement of Weighed In, no alteration may be made on the board or screen in respect of the numbers of the winner or placed horses.

My chatbot is closed now. The market is under review by their 'specialists' and a decision may take some hours to reach. It's clear to me, I know any outcome is unfair, but we're playing a game with clear rules and large sums of dosh here. Decisions can't be based on common sense or morality, it has to be in accordance with rules

You would hope so, but they have plenty of form for not following their own rules, if that's the path of least resistance. In this case, they may have done the correct thing (eventually)

Betfair is a different case, unless they want the publicity, but never seen it before bar a free bet!

Chances of him calling the wrong result are factored into the odds.

Of course it's easy money long term. Good.  Jamee only gets one wrong when the judge messes up.
