Spanish Darling

Certainly looked like it.

2.47 bsp

Only 12.50 and shortie betters already cleaned out today

Yes tape right across the nose.

I'm nervous of laying these type of events at the moment. All it would take is the starter to call a false start a little bit late and you could end up with thousands of liability on an odds on fav.

very dodgy, whos getting the money on.

Did I mishear Mike C on SKY saying he was deemed a runner however there will be big deductions or did I mishear> IF I heard right and the horse is deemed a runner surely no deductions.

Betfair were 4 secs late putting the race into play.

Anyone paying attention could have got on.

Yes Alien he did say that on the ball as usual ha ha

Harvey talking about it being controversial. It isn't. Race had started, horse jinks, and sadly punters lose their money. The only thing that has clouded this is when some bookmakers make a gesture and refund. Will they pay out with no deductions on the 18/1 winner - no.

bets at the off voided BSP now 1.2

Really, that is disguting

Shambles

Obviously there is no deduction.

However, there is some very weird shìt going down with this market since the end of the race....

wonders, is that true?

Still not settled.

Exactly, very dodgy

market still not settled swifty but its showing 1.20 instead of 2.47 now

I got a back bet matched on 4TBP right at the off, still waiting on that to be cancelled if so.

Just said it again haaaaaaa

4pl already 1.03 that will stand

crackers...6.3k up in smoke

misread that....thought it was BSP - not projected SP

no hasn't been settled swifty but in open bets was 2.47

This aint a good look

Now someone has told him and he is trying to squirm

It should be simple to sort, they have the official off time, some people will be just on and some just out. Monkey getting knuckles rapped.

Considering they declared it a runner a while ago, BF are certainly taking their time doing something...?

Presumably a BF balls up and bets matched after the finish (the 1.01 vol) will all be backed out.

I will be amazed if there is any comeback on bets matched right at the off.

Betfair will be backing out the mess created after the race. *** £6.3k matched at 1.01 10 mins after the race finished. ***

1.01 matched in-play kaput

was 1000 for hundreds in-play so must have cleared the lot?

Might be because they suspended a bit late. BFSP of 2.47 when ISP was 1/7 means it's clear they've messed up the suspension, and they are trying to put it right.

a full race behind now ffs

They cant let all those late bets stand surely, that bsp is scandalous.

BFSP of winner is showing at 35ish on Timeform - should have been about 50ish (imo) without the suspend monkey error.

Paid out on laying Spanish Darling on minus-8 lengths

Did anyone have any late bets cancelled?

The £6.3k traded at 1.01 from 10 mins after the race is still showing and now settled. WTF?

just been payed out on laying spanish darling

Yet they changed the BFSP.  How can both be true?  If they are happy with late bets, then they'd be happy with the BFSP?

The root issue is that BSP is always reconciled AFTER the race has started. The effect of the monkey's delay (which ranges from 0.5 to 20+ seconds) is exacerbated with events like this.

Much fairer to set it as the flag's raised or last runner goes in the stalls.

Doubt any of the high street bookies will pay out as a non runner. Back in the day Big Mac would've shamed them into it if he was working there.

Placepot carnage.

Leg 1 - £1.40
Leg 2 - £58.10

I can't recall off hand such a huge dividend after two races.

BSPs aside it begs the question why didn't the stewards declare it a non-runner? The 'fair start' rule seemed to be applicable in the Derby which was utter nonsense.

Because it suited coolmore. No one who matters clamouring for a NR. Looking at the replay. It should have been under the rules.

If they are happy with late bets, then they'd be happy with the BFSP?

those late bets which forced BSP from 1.2 to 2.47 were before it BF turned it in-play when it should have been in-play
once turned in-play you are on your own
