Still almost 72,000 BP tickets left - but yes, some are gone due to Mansour being TF and not Striker or Gavin - strange

Only if you didn't change your ticket.Was really hoping Donovan Mansour's mount was not going to be tote favorite.No such luck.With a 4% strike rate you can never be confident.

Sorry to show my ignorance SIr, but how do you change your ticket if taken online at Tab? Sorry never figured it out?

Sorry for my ignorance.

You have to phone in and they will cancel the ticket.But what about the people who took their bet in the morning and had other things to do during the day and where not watching the racing.They have to change this rule with horses being scratched at the start as it is so unfair that you get given a horse that you didn't even choose.All horses scratched at the start(and only at the start)should automatically go through.Make it easier to win and that way they might just get a few more people punting.Going out your bet when you haven't even got a say is not going to bring people into the racing game that's for sure.

i think this Alfolk is a very good horse

Boatswain looks nice

Thank you, I never knew they allowed you to cancel. But I was one of those doing something else and watching on the phone. No chance to phone. Oh well.

Thanks again

Arianos BagofGold was a juvenile I put in my notebook... have to trust my judgement so a small each way at 25/1 ...

Same here, felt like i was shot in the nuts

The start should be re-looked at. You can hear a jockey shouting wait, wait

Declared a non-runner, maybe.

race should be declared null and void
