Starting Prices

For the purposes of goal scoring the official returned starting price is used to determine the number of goals scored by each horse in the 6 races.

In the event of no official starting prices being returned the official Tote dividends will be used to settle selections as follows:

  1. Goals scored for winning selections will be based on the official Tote Win Dividend declared;
  2. Goals scored for placed selections will be based on the official Tote Place Dividend declared;
  3. In the event that no Starting Price of Tote prices are declared, ADMIN may settle the results at its own discretion which may include voiding the race, or races, or determining prices based on its own considerations.  Admin decision in this matter if final.

 

Walk Over

In the event of a race being a walkover (ie, only 1 runner declared or remaining following non-runners) then that race will be settled as an odds on loser and 0 goals awarded to all players.

 

Dead Heats

In the event of a dead heat for either Win or place the full number of goals will be scored by those horses involved in the dead heat with no deductions applied to the returned starting prices.

 

Stewards Enquiry/Objections

In determining the race results for each match; the official declared race result for all 6 races on matchday will be final following any Stewards Enquiry or Objection. Results subsequently ammended on a date other than on the day of racing will be ignored. First Past The Post selections are not accepted.
