16.50 at Newcastle they put all the horses in the stalls at 16.45 and had to back them all out after they messed the times up.
Great thing to do on a hot afternoon lol they only just noticed at the last minute after someone looked at their watch.
If they had off jumped off what would the ramifications had been?
Another thing the French have over us…
If the horses are ready to race then let them race. So long as the tannoy system is working, the only punters who’d suffer are those stuck on the FOBT fruit machines.

It would have made no difference to the race itself, the result and bets would have stood. That wasn’t the case some years ago when the race and bets would have been void until they sensibly changed the rules.
It will be interesting to see if anyone is penalised for the cock up or if the judge at Newmarket who called the wrong result is punished. I somehow doubt it but jockeys get penalised for any little offence they commit and I don’t see why the same shouldn’t apply to racecourse officials.
