last at punchestown today- horse refused to go.

froglet

you would think most highstreet bookies would let you off with a refund in the instance of what happened with the favourite "Une Artiste" today in race 6.

he was at the outside of the middle of the grouping at the line and flat out refused to go
replay can be seen on ATR

Anyone caught today with this bet? does it happen often


laddies rules: Withdrawals / Non-Runners

If a horse comes under Starter's Orders but refuses to race, the bet will be a loser.

In all horse races where a runner is withdrawn, or adjudged not to have started - and therefore been declared a Non-Runner by the starter - stakes on that selection will be refunded. (The exception to this being Ante Post bets)

Bets on the remaining runners in that race, taken at Early Prices or at Show Prices prior to withdrawal, will be subject to a deduction. This is based on Tattersalls Rule 4(c) (see below) and is dependent on the Non-Runner's price at the time it was withdrawn.

In reformed markets, the total deduction on the two or more horses - one in the original market and one in the reformed market - will be calculated on the prices applicable in the original market.

Bets on horses in subsequent markets that then have one or more withdrawn horses will have a deduction calculated on the prices applicable to that market at the time of the withdrawal.

In the event that there is insufficient time to form a new market on the race, S.P. bets may also be subject to a deduction based on Tattersalls Rule 4(c).

For bets at Early Prices, the application of Rule 4(c) will be determined by the last Ladbrokes price available at the time the horse is withdrawn.

Happens fairly regularly. Caitleen did something similar during the week.
Bookies occasionaly refund as a good will gesture. I think SkyBet were the only ones to refund on Une Artiste.
