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.

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.
