Wagers will be accepted win only at starting price for 1st and 2nd favourites. The Place part of any wager inadvertently accepted for unnamed favourites will be settled as a Win stake.

Joint Favourites

In the event of two selections starting joint favourites (i.e. two selections quoted at the same odds and those odds being shorter than those quoted against any other selection; then these two selections will be considered joint 1st favourite and joint 2nd favourite) then stakes are divided equally. Where three or more selections start co-favourites stakes will be divided proportionately. However, if such joint favourites or co-favourites are returned at a price whereby, irrespective of result, no profit could be accrued by the backer of the favourite, the unnamed favourite will be treated as a non-runner, in both single and accumulative bets.

Favourite Withdrawn

Should the favourite be withdrawn before coming under starter's orders but too late for a new market to be formed then bets on the favourite in that particular race are void. In the event of a joint or co-favourite being withdrawn then the proportion of stakes on that selection will be void and the remaining proportion of stakes will be divided equally on the selections that do run.

Start as Favourite

Settlement is determined by the selection that starts favourite for the specified race, based on the Industry Starting Price. In the event of joint or co-favourites, dead-heat rules will apply.

Favourites Performance

Predict the total number of points scored by the favourites at a specific meeting based on the following scoring criteria:

  • Winner = 25 points

  • 2nd = 10 points

  • 3rd = 5 points

  • A walkover will be allocated 20 points.

Dead Heats

Dead-heats are equally split (e.g. two selections including the favourite dead-heat for 2nd place (10+5)/2 7.5 points, dead-heat for 3rd place (5+0)/2 2.5 points). For joint or co-favourites the lowest racecard number will be used. If a meeting is abandoned before all races have been run, then all bets will be void, unless settlement of bets is already determined. If one or more races is declared void, then all bets will be void, unless settlement of bets is already determined at the time the earliest race is declared void. Selections may not be combined with other selections where our related contingency rule applies.

Performance Bets - Favourite Withdrawn

Should the favourite be withdrawn before coming under starter's orders but too late for a new market to be formed then the favourite in that particular race will be allocated points based on its price at the time of withdrawal, as follows:

  • Odds on 15

  • Evens to 5/1 inclusive 10

  • Over 5/1 5

No SPs Returned

In the event of no SPs being returned then the Racing Post forecast favourite will be deemed the selection. If there are two or more forecast favourites then the lowest racecard number will be used.
