I heard the explanations on the commentary, but never trusted Betfair to do the right thing.
I was fast asleep, well trying to sleep, so missed all the fun and games. If I have understood the thread, Betfair withdrew both horses prior to the race being run? So the winner of the actual race wasn't in the market when the race was run, but the horse that finished was in the market? Curious as to what price was the 2nd horse (the winner for betting purposes) available at as they crossed the line?

Betfair suspended the race as the FPTP crossed the line and as the 2nd PTP was not yet established at that time there were no trades on the "betting winner" at or very near the finish. There was money available to back at 12.5 downwards at the point of suspension.

Here is coverage of the initial incident, but not what happened just after.

I am not one to laud Betfair, but I think the guy on the market acted 100%.

Just wish they could clone 50 of him.

"First" race was a bit odd.

I'm watching on Sky Sports and it's a pretty good feed, but I also have telemetry for Del Mar.

I was about to say the same but waited till after the panic was over.

It definitely hung for about 20 seconds before the start of the race.
