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

Joint Favorites

In the event of two selections starting joint favorites (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 favorite and joint 2nd favorite), then wagers are divided equally. Where three or more selections start co-favorites, then wagers will be divided proportionately. However, if such joint favorites or co-favorites are returned at a price whereby, irrespective of result, no profit could be accrued by the backer of the favorite, the unnamed favorite will be treated as a scratch, in both straight bets and parlays.

Favorite Withdrawn

Should the favorite be withdrawn before coming under Starter's Orders but too late for a new market to be formed, then bets on the favorite in that particular race are deemed no action. In the event of a joint or co-favorite being withdrawn, then the proportion of wagers on that selection will be deemed no action and the remaining proportion of wagers will be divided equally on the selections that do run.

Start as Favorite

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

Favorites Performance

Predict the total number of points scored by the favorites 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 favorite 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-favorites, the lowest racecard number will be used. If a meeting is abandoned before all races have been run, then all bets will be deemed no action, unless settlement of bets is already determined. If one or more races is declared void, then all bets will be deemed no action, 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 - Favorite Scratched

Should the favorite be withdrawn before coming under Starter's Orders but too late for a new market to be formed, then the favorite in that particular race will be allocated points based on its odds 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 favorite will be deemed the selection. If there are two or more forecast favorites, then the lowest racecard number will be used.
