Something went very wrong there, I am not sure what the true error is. I grabbed these shots quickly because I could not make sense of what was happening. Mourad went to 1.04 and never ever looked like winning. The eventual winner went out to ~175 at the death and she was never really off the bridle at that stage...can only assume it was an error at Betfair??

This is what i think happened.
Betfair and their x matching bot has gone wild. The reason that the Mourad hit 1.04 is the cross matching.
I have backed Vola for £640 @ ave 28.4 = + 16.5k and a 640 red on others.
The crux of it is the price was offered, I took it and it won.
If it's a software error at Bf...tough luck.
My software was made errors and i have lost. That's was my fault
If Bf are true to form they won't pay out and void the race.
Go on twitter - it's mental

Bloody hell, I missed that. I was on the race but we have about 12 people here today and I am in and out of the study trying to trade while making the odd appearance in the next room. I was on the race but missed this, was it in running?
Peter,
It was normal until it went in play.
There was 2 million plus available to back VDV at 29
It stayed there through the race, Mourad's price was reducing and traded as if it was the winner.
I though the APi had the wrong horses in wrong order so i checked the web site. I checked VDV was actually with the field in case it had been WD.
Took and chance and lumped on. never seen anything like it.
