Alphonse Le Grande has been disqualified as the winner because the rider struck the horse 10 times with his whip, far exceeding the 6 permitted.
The race has been awarded to the runner up Manxman whose owner now receives the winners cheque of £90k
But what about the punters who backed Manxman? They don’t receive a single penny. The bookies will argue that they have already paid out on Alphonse so they can’t take a second hit.
Well at least refund the bet then, but they won’t.
