      Hi Stephen,

      If missed approach didn’t run you should get your money back providing the bookmaker was offering non runner money back (nrnb) on the betting market on Monday.

    Put a bet on a horse in the 1,000 Guineas in a couple of weeks time. The horse was pulled out of the race 2 days ago. The shop assistant said I’d lost my money. Don’t think that’s fair if it’s not running u should always get ya money back!!

    Also no one told me about losing my money if the horse didn’t run. Just think it stinks that u just lose ya money. Even if you have terms and conditions on a wall stating that. How many people would read this before putting a bet on. I’m really not happy about this one bit

      Totally agree it’s the harshest lesson learnt. In my opinion the bookmakers should always return your money if the horse doesn’t run. The only advantage of betting ante post are the odds which can be bigger than on the day. However you are taking a double risk with the chance the horse gets injured or lame before the race is run. On the day of the race is fine and once the Bookmaker advertises NRNB – Non Runner No Bet on the betting market – then you are covered to get your money back. The NRNB doesn’t normally appear until a few days before the race itself though, sometimes it may be a week before.
