Was it my imagination, or did Betfair send the event in-play prematurely, before realising they'd screwed up?

Probably a false start, didn't see it myself.

there was still 60 seconds to the off so I doubt it was a false start.

Well I did say I didn't see it!

I actually synchronised my computer clock this morning with an atomic clock, so I can say with certainty that it was in-play at 16:39...

Sounds like a Betfair cock up then.

I wasn't having a go at you peter!! I just sort of typed it as I saw it. I didn't mean it to come accross as being a bit arsey!!

sorry!

No, doubt worry, I didn't take it that way. I think I didn't type the correct response to be honest, I came across incorrectly and didn't mean it.

Hi Jeff,
it went in play 30 seconds ish before start-time. The horses were still waiting to run when it happened.

When Shakespeare wrote 'You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!', I wonder if he foresaw Betfair!
