General Information & Settlement Rules

• Unless stated otherwise, all individual race markets will be determined according to the official result at the time of the 'weigh-in' announcement. Subsequent disqualifications, appeals or as jockey silks, saddlecloth numbers etc) is provided "as is" and is for guidance only. Betfair does not guarantee the accuracy of this information and use of it to place bets is entirely at your own risk.
• If a race is declared void, or in the event of a walkover, all bets on that race will be void.
• If a race is postponed or re-scheduled, all bets will stand providing the final declarations and the race venue remain unchanged.
• If the scheduled venue is changed after a bet is placed, all bets will be void.
• If a scheduled surface type is changed (e.g. turf to dirt) all bets will stand.
• The favourite is the selection quoted in the official starting price returns at the shortest odds. The second favourite is the horse quoted at the next shortest odds. If two horses are quoted at the same odds and these odds are shorter than those quoted against any other horses, then these two are equal first favourite and equal second favourite. If two or more co-favourites are thus selected, the stake will be divided equally between them.
  
  

Future Racing

• For the avoidance of doubt, Future Racing and Antepost bets refer to the same market type and either term may be used interchangeably.
• All Future Racing bets are accepted and settled on a Rules of Racing basis only.
• Future Racing bets are accepted at quoted prices, up to and including the day prior to the event, on the basis of all in, run or not, entered or not. Therefore selections not taking part in the race/event concerned are losers
• Future Racing bets are those placed at our quoted prices on horses and prior to the race becoming classed as 'day of event' (day of event is a term used to describe the time at which overnight declarations are made, usually 10am on the day preceding the race (or two days for certain Group 1 races) for horse racing and the day of the race for greyhounds).
• All bets placed after the overnight declaration stage are settled in accordance with our early prices/day of race rules.
• In line with principals laid down by Tattersalls Rules of Racing, Future Racing bets will be void under the following circumstances, otherwise bets stand:
• If the race is abandoned or declared void.
• If the venue of the race is altered or postponed to a later date at a different track.
• If the race is postponed to a later date at the same track with entries totally reopened bets placed after the initial entries are void, but bets placed prior to the initial entry stage will stand. All bets will stand if a race is postponed to later date at the same track with the same entries, whether the bet was placed before or after the initial entries stage.
• If the horse is balloted out or eliminated under Jockey Club rules single bets will be void. In any such cases, accumulative Future Racing bets will stand on the remaining legs, at the prices laid on the selections in those races, with a double becoming a single, a treble becoming a double, etc.
• In the event of horses being withdrawn under Jockey Club/Turf Club rules, to limit the number of entries taken part, these horses shall be void. The liability of a layer against horses remaining will be reduced on both win and place parts of such bets, in accordance with the rate to be announced before the race by Tattersalls Committee, dependant on the odds currently available against the withdrawn horses at the time of withdrawal. All bets are executed at the price ruling at the time of handing in of the bet. We reserve the right to correct any palpable error. Win doubles, trebles, etc are calculated at full accumulative odds. Each-way doubles and trebles etc. are settled win-to-win, place-to-place, and for the place part of such bets, the fractional odds pertaining at the time of acceptance. Place only bets, conditional bets and forecast bets are not accepted for Future Racing. When the same selection is backed to win two or more races/events in Future Racing bets, special odds are applicable. These special odds will supersede the accumulative odds calculated from the individual event prices irrespective of the fact that the individual event prices may be endorsed on the slip. If special odds were not available, the stake will be divided equally as singles at the prices available at the time the bet was placed.
• Any horse that does not qualify for, or is expunged from a race, will be settled as a loser. Bets taken on a horse after they have not qualified by the applicable qualifying date will be voided.

Best Odds Guaranteed

Where 'Best Odds Guaranteed' is offered:

• Best Odds Guaranteed applies, for Winner markets only (win and each way), to any price taken on singles after 8am on the day of the applicable race.
• "Best Odds Guaranteed" is not available on Future Racing markets.
• 'Best Odds Guaranteed' is not available on multiples.
• Where "Best Odds Guaranteed" is offered, bets will be settled at the Industry Starting Price ("SP") if the SP is bigger than the price taken by the customer when they place their bet. For example, if the price taken is 3/1 and the SP is 4/1, we will pay out at the bigger price of 4/1.
• In the event of a Rule 4 deduction applying to a price taken, we will pay at the bigger odds after the Rule 4 deduction has been made to the price taken.
• Where no SP is returned, the last price offered by Betfair fixed odds will be taken as the SP.
• Best Odds Guaranteed does not apply to Oddsboost selections.
  
  

Starting Prices

• 'SP bets' placed on the Betfair Sportsbook or Betfair's 'Fixed Odds' products will be settled on the official Industry Starting Price and not the 'Betfair SP'.
• If no official Industry Starting Price or Industry Off Course Starting Price is returned, bets where no price is taken (including forecasts, tricasts and unnamed favourites) will be settled at the last price quoted on the Betfair Sportsbook prior to the off of the race.

Double Resulting

• Double result is only applicable to horse racing in Ireland and the UK where an industry SP is returned.
• Double result means if your horse is first past the post you get paid, however, should your horse be awarded the race or promoted to a place, as a result of a stewards enquiry or an objection which is announced before the 'weigh in' or 'winner alright', we will still pay you.
• In a combined Horses bet, the bet remains a winner if a runner in a combined horses selection is first past the post and another horse is promoted to a winner. The bet is promoted to winner if the runner in a combined horses selection is promoted to winner where the first past the post was not in the combined horses selection.
• We offer Double Result on Place Betting, Betting Without Favourite, Fallers Insurance, Combined Horses & all Insurebet Markets.
• Double result does not apply to the following bets or circumstances:
• All Future Racing bets
• Bets which rely on Tote dividends ie. Jackpots, Placepots etc which are settled on the Rules of Racing
• Any horse disqualified for taking the wrong course or for carrying an incorrect weight
• Races which are declared void
• Where there is an official correction to the result by the judge or SIS prior to the 'weigh in' and any races which are declared void before the 'weigh in' for which Rules of Racing will apply
• All bets on horse racing outside of Ireland and the UK (which shall be settled on a Rules of Racing basis only)
• All bets on horse racing within Ireland and the UK where an industry SP is not returned in respect of the applicable race (such bets shall be settled on a Rules of Racing basis only)
• A selection given as the winner in error by the judge
• All bets placed on Betting in Running markets (which will be settled on a Rules of Racing basis only)
• Oddsboost Markets
• The Aintree Grand National

Match Betting

• Where we offer match betting (i.e. where we select two or more horses in a particular race to compete against each other in a match bet), all bets will be settled in accordance with the Rules of Racing of the British Horse Racing Authority which are then in force (and results will be determined according to the official returns in the following day's Racing Post).
• Bets are settled on the best finishing position.
• For flat racing, if two or more of the named horses do not complete the course, the placing of those horses in relation to each other shall be determined, and bets shall be settled, according to the distance travelled by each horse (according to the official returns in the following day's Racing Post).
• For National Hunt races, if two or more of the named horses do not complete the course, the placing of those horses in relation to each other shall be determined, and bets shall be settled, according to the number of obstacles cleared by each horse (according to the official returns in the following day's Racing Post). If both horses clear the same number of fences/hurdles, bets will be void.
  
  

Each-Way Betting / Place Terms

• Each-way bets (Win and Place) are offered for the majority of races. For all horse races (at Early Price and S.P) the each-way terms are affected by the type of race and the number of runners taking part and these terms are, unless indicated otherwise, as follows:

["Handicaps" include all Handicap and Nursery races]

• The 'Win' and 'Place' part of each-way multiple bets are settled separately (that is, win-to-win and place-to-place).
• Once opened, the number of winners in 'to be placed' markets may be affected by further non-runners.
• From time to time we may offer promotions that pay out on extra placings in a horse race. In these instances we reserve the right to alter the standard place terms as set out above (e.g. we may offer to pay out 5 or 6 places in a handicap with 16 or more runners but to do so at 1/5 of the odds as opposed to standard 1/4). These promotions are not confined to handicaps. The onus is on the customer at all times to check the each way terms on offer (particularly in those races where we are offering additional place payouts).
• For a horse to be deemed not to have been placed in a given race, it must have started that race.
• If the number of placed horses is less than the number of potential winners, the winners will only be the placed horse or horses.
• If any race is reduced to four runners or less, all each-way bets will be taken as "all-to-win" given that there are no places.
  
  

Combined Winning Distance for a Meeting

• Distances for each race meeting are settled on a 'first past the post' basis. If any of the scheduled races at a meeting are not run, bets are void unless the maximum quote has been attained.
• The maximum winning distance per race for a flat race is 12 lengths while a National Hunt race is 30 lengths. This also applies should only one horse complete the race.
• Distances are as follows:
• Nose: 0.05
• Short-head: 0.1
• Head: 0.2
• Neck: 0.3
• Half a Length: 0.5
• 3/4 of a Length: 0.75
• 1 Length: 1
• No Finishers - If there are no finishers in a race, it shall be treated as void.
• Walkovers will be excluded from all markets unless created by the withdrawal of a horse after we have begun quoting a market concerning the race in question, in which case the make-ups will be as follows:
• Distances: Flat 5 lengths, National Hunt 12 lengths.
  
  

Faller Insurance

• Price offered is for the horse to win the race.
• If the horse falls, unseats the jockey or is brought down the bet stake is returned. It does not apply to horses that Slip Up, Refuse, Run Out or get Carried Out.
• In the event of a horse being withdrawn, not under starter's orders, stakes on that selection will be returned.
• Bets for the remaining horses in the race will be subject to a deduction in accordance with Tattersall's R4(c) based on the Win price of the withdrawn horse(s) at the time of withdrawal, (see Tattersall's R4 table under Horse Racing rules). E.g. Horse X priced at 4/1 in the win market and 11/4 in the "Faller Insurance" market is withdrawn then a R4 deduction of 20c based on the 4/1 Win price shall apply to the "Faller Insurance" market.
• Refunded bets will be settled as soon as possible but in some cases may take up to an hour.
• Where disputes arise results will be taken from www.racingpost.com.

Favourites Index

• Quotation is made on the basis that the horse which is the SP favourite is awarded 25 points if it wins, 10 points if it is second and 5 points if it is third. Points will be awarded for first 3 places irrespective of Each Way terms.
• If there are joint or co-favourites in a race, the horse with the lowest race card number is considered, for the purposes of the bet, to be the favourite.
• If the returned favourite (as published in the following day's tabloid edition of the Racing Post) has not come under starter's orders then, for the purposes of the bet if its price at the time of withdrawal is:
• Equal to or greater than 5/1, 5 points will be awarded.
• Less than 5/1 but greater than evens, 10 points will be awarded.
• Evens or less, 15 points will be awarded.
• No Finishers - If there are no finishers in a race, it shall be treated as void
• Walkovers will be excluded from all markets unless created by the withdrawal of a horse after we have begun quoting a market concerning the race in question, in which case the make-ups will be as follows:
• Favourite: 20 points
• If the returned favourite dead-heats for one of the places then it will be awarded the average points of the two places involved.
• For example, a dead-heat for first would be awarded the average of 25 + 10 points = 17.5 points.
• A dead-heat for second would be awarded the average of 10 + 5 points = 7.5 points.
• A dead-heat for third would be awarded the average of 5 + 0 points = 2.5 points

Winning Distance/How Far Will It Win By

• Betting on the winning distance will be on races only as displayed.
• The winning distance will be that margin, as officially announced between the winning horse and the second.
• All winning distance bets are settled on a first past the post basis only, i.e. double result does not apply.
• In the event of a withdrawal resulting in a Rule 4 of 10c or greater in a race where we offer distance betting the full Rule 4 amount will be applied to the Overs.In the event of a selection being withdrawn the not to win price of the favourite will be subject to a reverse rule 4. eg 8/1 shot withdrawn, favourite 1/1 not to win. Reverse rule 4 of 10c applies. Fav not to win settled at 11/10
• We will pay double result in accordance with our rules on Distance Specials.
• Where there is only one finisher in a race:
• Where a distance special selection is the only finisher in a race, the over on the distance special will be settled as the winner and all other selections in the market will be settled as losers.
• If there is only one finisher in the race and it is not the distance special selection, all distance bets on that selection will be settled as losers.
• 3-way distance betting markets where no individual selections are named: When there is only one finisher, the over on this market will be settled as a winner and the under and middle options in this market will be settled as losers.
  

Lengthen Your Odds

• Bets will be settled on the official distance between the named selection & the horse that finishes 2nd.
• In the event of a horse being withdrawn, not under starter's orders, stakes on that selection will be returned. Bets for the remaining horses in the race will be subject to a deduction in accordance with Tattersall's Rule 4(c) based on the win price of the withdrawn horse(s) at the time of withdrawal, (see Tattersall's Rule 4 table above).
• Double Result concession does not apply to this market.
  
  
  

Non-Runner Rule

• If a horse comes under Starter's Orders but refuses to race, the bet will be a loser.
• With the exception of Future Racing bets as described above, in all horse races where a runner is withdrawn, or adjudged not to have started - and therefore been declared a Non-Runner by the starter - stakes on that selection will be refunded.
• Bets on the remaining runners in that race, where a price has been taken, may be subject to a deduction. This is based on Tattersalls Rule 4(c) (see below) and is dependent on the withdrawn horse's price at the time it was withdrawn.
• Bets on horses in reformed markets that subsequently have one or more withdrawn horses may also have a deduction applied based on the prices of any withdrawn horse(s) at the time of the withdrawal(s).
• In the event that there is insufficient time to form a new market on the race, bets placed at starting price may also be subject to a deduction based on Tattersalls Rule 4(c).
• For bets where a price is taken, the application of Rule 4(c) will be determined by the last Betfair price available at the time the relevant horse is withdrawn.
• Deductions in the pound will be applied based on the odds of any withdrawn horse as follows:

• If there are two or more withdrawals in one event, the deduction will not exceed 90p. If the price of a withdrawn selection is not quoted in the above table, then Rule 4(c) will be applied at the next highest price quoted. For example 21/5 would be classed in the 9/2 bracket for Rule 4 purposes.
• Reserves: In races with reserves, reserves will generally be priced up within the market. However if any bets are taken prior to a reserve horse being declared to run and where the reserve was not priced up at the time the bet was placed, then any such bets will be settled on the result 'without the reserve runner(s)'. Each way bets settled on the result "without the reserve runner(s)" will be based on the number of runners, excluding reserves, that start the race. In races where reserves are priced but do not run, Betfair may make a Rule 4 deduction in accordance with the above Betfair Non-Runner Rule.
• Incorrect withdrawals: If a horse is removed from a market but subsequently takes part in the race, then all bets on that selection will be made void and stakes refunded at the point that the selection was removed from the market. At the point that the horse is re-instated in the market, all original bets will be replaced subject to customers having available funds in their account. If a customer does not have available funds within their account at the time of re-instatement, the voided bet will not be replaced.

Betting Without the Favourite

• For the purposes of this bet, the "Without" selection(s) will be the shortest price horse(s) as determined by Betfair early prices at the time the market is created.
• For settlement purposes the "Without" selection's finishing position will be ignored.
• Any each-way terms advertised are settled on the actual number of runners who take part in the race, excluding the 'without' selection.
• Each-Way terms are specified in race.
• In the event of non-runners and withdrawals winning bets are subject to Rule 4 deductions.

Place only markets

• "Place only" bets will be settled as follows:
• The number of places paid will be made clear on the market.
• Bets will be settled on the official result only.
• If there are non-runners in the race, then provided there are more runners in the race than the number of places being paid out on the market, then all bets on the remaining runners will stand subject to the deductions below. All bets on non-runners (not under starter's orders) will be voided.
• If, due to non-runners, the number of runners is the same as or less than the number of places being paid out on the market, then all bets on the market will be voided.
• If there are non-runners on the market, then the best on the remaining runners will be settled based on the deductions table below.
• Deductions are accumulative and so will increase if there is more than one non-runner, but are capped at 95p in the £.
• Dead heat rules apply.

Insurebet 2 places

• Where "Insurebet 2 places" markets are offered:
• The Price offered is for the horse to win the race. If the horse finishes second, the bet stake is returned.
• In the event of a horse being withdrawn, other than where it is withdrawn under starter's orders, stakes on that selection will be returned. Bets for the remaining horses in the race will be subject to a deduction in accordance with Tattersall's Rule 4(c) based on the win price of the withdrawn horse(s) at the time of withdrawal (see the Tattersall's Rule 4 table which appears in the "Betfair Non-Runner Rule" section above). For example, if a horse (which is priced at 4/1 in the win market and 11/4 in the "Insurebet 2 Places" market) is withdrawn, then a Rule 4 deduction of 20% (based on the 4/1 win price) shall apply to the "Insurebet 2 Places" market.
• Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a race being reduced to 4 runners or fewer, all bets shall be void.
• Normal dead-heat rules apply.
• Double Result concessions do apply to this market.

Forecast Betting

• A "straight forecast" is a bet where you name two selections to come 1st and 2nd in the correct order for a specified event.
• A "reversed forecast" is when you name two selections to finish 1st and 2nd in any order for a specific event.
• A "combination forecast" is when you choose three or more selections in an event, with any of these to finish 1st and 2nd in the race.
• Straight, reversed and combination forecasts are available on horse races provided 3 or more entries run in any one race.
• Forecast bets are settled in accordance with the industry Forecast Dividend, except where stated below:
• If a Straight Forecast is accepted for a race where no dividend declared, the bet will be settled as a win single on the first selection stated.
• If you select a Non-Runner in a Forecast bet, the bet will be void. If you select a Non-Runner in a Combination Forecast, all bets featuring the non-runner will be void.
• Customers are not allowed to include 'unnamed favourite' in forecast bets.

Tricast Betting

• A tricast is a bet where you name the selections to finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the correct order for a specified race. All tricast bets are settled in accordance with the appropriate industry dividend except where stated below.
• Horseracing Tricast bets are accepted on all races for which a computer tricast dividend is declared.
• If a tricast bet is accepted where less than 4 runners take part in the race, it will be settled as a Straight Forecast on the selections nominated to finish 1st and 2nd, with the selection nominated to finish 3rd ignored.
• If a Tricast has been accepted for a race where no dividend is declared, it will be settled as a Straight Forecast on the selections nominated to finish 1st and 2nd. The 3rd is ignored for settlement purposes. If the bet is a Combination Tricast, every Tricast within that Combination will be settled as a Straight Forecast with the 3rd selection ignored for settlement purposes.
• If one non-runner is selected, the tricast will be settled as a Straight Forecast on the remaining 2 selections in the order they were selected, combination bets follow the same rules with each combination settled on its own merit. If two non-runners are selected, the tricast will be void.
• If fewer than 3 runners finish a race, the following rules will apply in addition to the above rules:
• When only 2 runners finish a race, all tricast bets which have correctly selected the 1st and 2nd placed finishers will be settled as a Straight Forecast. All other tricast bets will be deemed losers
• When only 1 runner finishes a race, all tricast bets which have correctly selected the 1st placed finisher will be settled as a SP single on that selection. All other tricast bets will be deemed losers.
• If a tricast bet is accepted on a race from a territory where no official Industry Tricast has been declared the dividend will be calculated from the last Betfair prices prior to the start of the race.
• Should customer's select an unnamed favourite in a tricast bet, the selection will be deemed a NR and the bet settled on the remaining selections in the order selected. Combination tricast bets follow the same rule with each combination settled on its own merit.

Fixed Odds Forecasts and Tricasts

• Should there be any non-runners in a race, bets will be settled at Industry Dividends.
• Should any selection included within a fixed odds forecast or fixed odds tricast bet be a non-runner, the entire forecast or tricast bet in question will be void.
  
  
  

US Racing

• On certain US race meetings, Betfair Sportsbook offer fixed odds betting on US racing. Customers may take the fixed odds price or the SP on these events. In the event of bets being accepted at SP, when no official Industry Starting Price has been declared, all bets will be settled at the last Betfair price prior to the off.
• On other US meetings, where no fixed odds betting is offered on US racing, all bets placed at SP will be settled to the US pari-mutual dividends. Please note that all declared dividends are quoted to $2 which means that the actual return to a £1 stake is half of the declared dividend.
• Bets placed at the US paris-mutual odds, will be settled at the odds declared by the US host track. Only bet types that have dividends declared by the host track will stand, any bets not covered by a dividend at the host track will be void.
• In the event of a race being declared a No-Contest by the host track, all bets will be void.
• When no fixed odds have been offered on a US race, Win bets will be settled to the win pool. Each Way bets on races with eight or more runners will be settled to the win and show pool. In races with five to seven runners inclusive, the place part of the bet will be settled to the place pool.
• Exacta and Trifecta betting will be settled to the relevant dividend where no fixed odds have been offered.
• Coupled horses in the US are coupled across all markets, not just in the win pools. If you place a bet on a coupled runner, the bet will include all runners under the number (e.g. 1, 1a, 1b etc), If one of the entries is a non-runner, your bet will stand on the remaining coupled selection(s).
• Coupled horses will not apply to US races where fixed odds have been offered as the runners will be priced separately for betting purposes.
  
  

Latin American Racing

• For all bets placed on Latin American races, bets placed at SP will be settled at the last priced offered by Betfair prior to the off of the race. In the event that no Fixed Odds prices are offered, bets will be settled at the last industry price prior to the off of the race.
• Forecast and Tricast bets will be settled at the last shown Betfair price prior to the off of the race, when an industry dividend has not been declared.
• Coupled horses will not apply to Latin American races when fixed odds betting has been offered as the runners will be priced separately for betting purposes.
  
  

European Racing

• When Betfair offer fixed odds betting, the last price shown prior to the off will be deemed the SP price
• Forecast and Tricast bets will be settled at the last shown Betfair prices prior to the off of the race when an industry dividend has not been declared.
• On meetings where fixed odds prices are not offered, all bets placed at SP will be settled to the local tote dividends (coupling may apply).
  
  

International Racing

• All International territories excluding those detailed above will be settled on a Rules Of Racing basis. Territories offered, where an official Starting Price is returned, will be governed by our general rules.
• When Betfair offer fixed odds betting, the last price shown prior to the off will be deemed the SP price.
• Where an Industry/SIS SP is declared bets placed at the SP option will be settled at those odds and not at the relevant pari-mutual dividend.
• When there is no Industry/SIS SP declared and no Befair fixed odds prices offered, all bets will be settled at the relevant tote dividends sourced from the local tote authority.
• Forecast and Tricast bets will be settled at the last shown Betfair prices prior to the off of the race when an industry dividend has not been declared.

Special Markets

• Where we quote a price for two or more specified selections in a win or place multiple, settlement will revert to SP if there is a non-runner of 10/1 or less in any leg of the bet.
• In the event of any non-runner(s) in any of the races from which the above have been selected we reserve the right to revert the bet to SP, unless stated below:
• In Both To Finish/All To Finish markets bets will be void if any named selection is a non-runner, Rule 4 will apply if there are non-runners in the race as per the place only rule 4 table found below.
• Named Selection To Win & Either To Finish 2nd will be settled as void if any of the named selections are non-runners. This market will be subject to a rule 4 deduction if there is a non-runner in the race.
• Named selections to finish in that exact order will be void if any named selection is a non-runner. This market will be subject to a rule 4 deduction if there is a non-runner in the race.
• Named selection to win by "X Lengths Or More" will be void if the named selection is a non-runner & subject to a rule 4 if there is a non-runner in the race.
• Named selection to win by "X Lengths Or More & Y To Finish 2nd" will be void if either named selection is a non-runner & subject to a rule 4 if there is a non-runner in the race.
• Jockey Specials will be void should the jockey not take part at a meeting for any reason. Should a jockey miss any of their booked rides, selections that could have been determined will be settled and all others voided. If a jockey picks up any spare rides these will not be counted towards their number of winners. If any of the jockey's rides are non-runners the bet will revert to SP settlement, for example 'to ride 3 winners' from 4 rides with 1 becoming a non-runner will be settled as an SP treble should the other 3 win.
• Jockey specials apply to Racing Post-declared rides only.
• Unless otherwise stated, place betting specials shall be settled in accordance with the "Place Terms" sub-section of this "Horseracing" section.
• In the event of non-runner(s) in the races from which a place only special has been selected our normal "Place Terms" will stand
• All horse racing special markets will be settled on the basis of standard place terms and will not take into account any enhanced terms that we may be offering at the time. For example, "All SP favs to place at Cheltenham" will be settled, for each race, on the basis of our standard place terms.
• Where bets are offered on the "going" of any horse racing meetings, those bets will be settled on the basis of the Racing Post's "going" description of the first race of such meeting (ignoring any references to ground conditions "in places"). For example, if the Racing Post description is "heavy (soft in places)", bets will be settled as "heavy".
• Top jockey/trainer/owner markets will be settled on the basis of the official result of the applicable track. In the event of multiple winners, our dead heat rules will apply.
• For special bets which have been placed on total number of winning SP favourites at named meetings, if there are joint/co favourites for any of the applicable races, the favourite for that race will, for settlement purposes, be deemed to be the horse with the lowest racecard number.
• If any of the scheduled races at a meeting are not run, bets are void unless the quoted number of winners has already been reached.
