Reminds me of that old black and white American film where the crooks planned to rob all the tote money in between races but to ensure a stewards enquiry and a lengthy delay they arranged for a hitman with a rifle to shoot one of the horses during the race.
Ah yes, “The Killing”, starring Sterling Hayden. The young director of this nicely plotted B thriller was Stanley Kubrick, and it made his reputation. The race track scenes are effectively atmospheric. Well worth seeking out.

If we take the figures at face value he had cira £20,000 rolling up on Conduit in the George VI and Queen Elizabeth…
Of course, even if Conduit was a non-runner he would still have had to had payout the rest of the winnings – so something still don’t add up…
what a fdc
No, if Conduit had not run it was a losing bet as it was ante-post.

No, according to the Irish Independant it would not have been a losing Ante-post bet. Story HERE.
Although the amount owed would have ‘only’ been £9,000 and not the £20,000 I guessed at.
