Slim Shady 479 Report post Posted December 7, 2014 I'm surprised know one has mentioned how the TAB tucked all us punters at Manakau yesterday. Race 8 was originally a full 8 starters and 2 reserves, the 3 dog was scratched at 8.30am Sunday morning making it a LATE scratching, however, the TAB must of used some discretion and withdrew the dog BEFORE the trainer had actually withdrawn the dog therefore making this race payable on only 2 place divy's? Yes there was a mix up of sort's because the dog in question was stood down at Cambridge after it's run Thursday but it was not withdrawn as per the rules and declared a late scratching at 8.30am hence no reserves got a start, that race should of paid 3 place divy's no question about it! It not only affected punters betting on that race alone but also would of had a huge affect on the Place6 option's outcome...

GONSTA 1,148 Report post Posted December 8, 2014 Agreed. The stipe report even said itself it was a 'LATE' scratching! "WHERE'S KEROMA was a late scratching at 8.30am" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollyb 22 Report post Posted December 8, 2014 The definition of a late scratching according to the TAB betting rules is 9am. ® “Late Scratching†in the case of: (i) New Zealand racing means a Scratching made after 9.00am on the day of the Race Meeting; and (ii) Overseas racing means a Scratching made after the official Scratching time of the Race Meeting as determined by the controlling body in the relevant jurisdiction. https://static.tab.co.nz/content/pdf_form/tab_rules.pdf howrude and GONSTA 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
