HG & JG thanks, that explains it then.
I remembered the race where horses were falling off left right and center and everyone kept climbing back on for another pop.
Is there a point when the none runner is withdrawn? If for example the other two runners collided at the final fence (i think it was only 3 horses) and fell 8 mins into the race, could the bloke sat at the line still go ahead if he hasnt got off the horse?

Basically there is no time limit for the completion of a race. Having said that perhaps there is some obscure rule hidden somewhere which says they must be finished before the next race is due?
If a horse is sat at the line, has been declared a runner but has not gone with the others then he can start in his own time. If he sees the other horses falling or maybe all of them falling then he can make a start and provided he completes the course via the correct route he wins.
If there are multiple runners then the race must have one completed participant for it to be declared a legitimate race. If there is only one runner the horse must complete the course in the correct manner. If fences or hurdles are involved then all must be negotiated correctly or the horse would be disqualified and the race declared void. If it is a flat race the horse must come under starter's orders then run the full race and cross the finish line in their own time. This is known as a walkover and they do occur.

Easter Sunday - same as most Sundays I'd imagine, nothing special and always been a day off for meaharris81 wrote:Totally agree, got done on a good few today! Tomorrow's another day
On another note from previous years how do you find Easter Sunday and Monday trading?
Bank Holiday Monday - too much racing to make it tradeable, lots of clashing so the money (what there is of it) arrives sharply and in an angular fashion. Not my kind of thing at all personally but some people tend to enjoy it. A unique challenge I suppose!

Easter Bank Holiday trading will be like Boxing Day trading I suspect. Liquidity diluted over so many races and a lot of clashes.

One of the fancied runners was playing up or wouldn't go in the stalls , can't remember which but they turned off x-matching. People were laying the book over in the hope of an overround book once the reduction factor was applied but it eventually ran so they got stuffed

Couple of questions if anybody can answer:spreadbetting wrote:One of the fancied runners was playing up or wouldn't go in the stalls , can't remember which but they turned off x-matching.

1. Why would BF turn off x-matching?
2. Is there an indicator on BF website or BA Software to stae if x-matching is in operation or not?
