When they're never travelling + are pulled up around, or just after halfway.

When you don't have a bet.
Michael Winter's dad, a bookie/punter had a runner in a confined p2p years ago.
So big was the entry that , allowing for divisions, the races started a half hour before advertised time ; the confined maiden being the first race.
Long story short, the eldest son who had the money/ bookmaker credit to get a bet on missed the race so the horse won by default when the duo ahead fell independently at the last two fences.
The eldest son arrived into the parade ring just as the winner returned.
"What happened ?" he asked
"You were late, that's what f****g happened ! 'tis a fine thing to bet on a horse and he fall on you, at least you had some chance of winning; this way we had no chance !"

For me, it's when i have an ew bet in a 8 horse race, Then one pulls out making it a 7 runner and i get a 3rd place
Definitely agree with that.When they're never travelling + are pulled up around, or just after halfway.

When they start at the back and stays there.
Bit like my nap in the Plate Tahmuras.ffs
I once thought I'd found a good thing and lumped on.it got beat by a 100/1 shot who was a stone out of the hcap and died 3 days later.
I stopped gambling for a while.
