See how a non-runner can affect a race market and which terms to check for ante-post and race-day bets.
Race-day withdrawal
When a runner is withdrawn close to the start, markets can be suspended and revised. Some rules preserve a bet on another runner but apply a deduction to its payout; other market types can be settled differently. Read the rules attached to the specific bet.
Ante-post treatment can differ
An ante-post selection is placed before the final field is settled. If it does not run, the stake may be treated under a different rule from a race-day selection. Check the market wording before placing the bet, especially for multi-race or special markets.
Recheck a changed race
After a withdrawal, confirm the market has reopened, the selection remains active and the price is current. A Rule 4 deduction may apply under relevant conditions. The event’s stated terms determine settlement.
