True tales from the betting ring.

Simon have to disagree with you. You've been racing long enough to know that when they come under 'starters orders' that's it, all bets stand. When you started going racing, if there were 4 meetings 2 started on the hour and 2 on the quarter. Now bookies want continuous racing. They decided to give money back if jockeys fell off at start etc.
Now they make a 20% deduction on a 5-1 chance after it's come under orders. Absolutely ludicrous.
