Telebetting Rules

Late Withdrawals, Rule 4 And Re-Run Races

Horses - After the Formation of a Course Market
When a horse is withdrawn before coming under starters orders, after a course market has been formed, bets will be settled in accordance with Tattersalls Rule 4(c).

Coral will not apply the 5p rule 4 deduction, therefore if a horse priced over 9/1 is withdrawn we will make no deduction from customer's returns.

In the event of two or more horses being withdrawn before coming under starters orders, the total deduction will be the sum of the individual deductions, up to a maximum of 90p in the pound.

In the event of a horse race being re-run, all bets will stand for the re-run race, with bets being settled at the prices quoted or returned for the original race.  Horses which came under starters orders in the original race will be considered losers if not taking part in the re-run race.


15.1 Horses - Early Morning Prices
The Tattersalls Rule 4 (c) Deduction Scale will be applied to bet settlement when horses quoted in our Early Morning Prices are withdrawn before coming under starters orders.  In such circumstances, the appropriate level of deduction will be determined by reference to the prices on offer at the time that the bet was placed.

15.2  Greyhounds
When a greyhound is withdrawn:-

All bets struck at displayed prices prior to the withdrawal, and not cancelled by the customer, will be settled at starting price. In the event of a NO RACE being re-run, all bets for that race stand at starting price for the re-run race unless previously cancelled by the customer.

All bets struck prior to withdrawal at Coral prices on individual heats or one off races will be settled at starting price, and bets on the withdrawn greyhound will be void.
