    25 runners with 3 non runners, why on earth did they call a rule 4?

    No other bookmaker on the planet did the same!

    Did you ask them what horse it relates to?

    If it’s Beautiful Sound then they are really taking the piss with that.

    Due to the farcical Irish reserve rule all the bookmakers had different rules regarding the race. Corals priced up all the runners including reserves with a rule 4 for any nrs. Presumably their prices would have been bigger overall to compensate for this.

    That is correct Eddie. Corals had all runners priced up.

    From the Racing Post due to the peculiar irish trait of allowing reserves to run up to an hour before the off

    "Blue Sq and Corals – the race has been priced as if all are running, Rule 4 where applicable will be enforced on non runners

    including reserves
