Usually it's on a horse that refuses to load in the stalls, but on this occasion the horse never went to the start and Betfair missed it. But obviously were aware as they adjusted shortly afterwards.
It screws up in-play stuff sometimes and we always get queries in support when it happens.
Today's Horse Racing
It normally happens when a horse is withdrawn just before the start and there's not enough time to pull the horse from the market. Reduction factors are applied to pre-off bets but not to in-play bets, so the horse can just be ignored in-play.peachflame wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:21 pmmust say i've never noticed it before in my limited experience.Euler wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:15 pmY, happens quite often.

Shocking ride on Byzantia by Loius Steward in the 18:30 - Held up off a slow pace dragged 10 lengths of the rail. Nowhere near the lead at any point. Gave the horse no chance. Think it came last, 5-2 fav. Punters have a right to question what he was doing.
I didnt see the race or have an interest in it, but was curious from your comments to look at the video. However it's not on attheraces. According to the result she came 4th of 6 beaten 3 3/4 lengths. Prior to that had won quite nicely. The win was over a mile and today they were stepping her up to 10f. Also she was wearing a hood for the first time. Puzzling they would be reaching for a hood when her previous form was quite encouraging.
