About 19:00 something happened. BA got disconnected, closed down but when I tried to reopen BA it couldnt connect using the API, BA still opened but I had no access to markets.

Tried to access the BF site which was working but was very slow.

I finally tried to cancel bets via phone but was too late, an order had been matched seconds prior to the off and the race was over.

Absolutely gutted.

You can access Betfair through the website.

I didn't notice anything until about a minute before the off in the 15:35 at Naas when the market was suspended and didn't come back. Luckily (for a change) I didn't have an open position.
