Bet365 First Past The Post
Use The racingtv.com Tracker Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) 2m 7f 25y
Topsham Bay won in 1992 for David Barons and Hywel Davies but needed the help of the stewards to add a second victory in 1993. He was promoted ahead of first-past-the-post Givus A Buck after receiving a hefty bump from that rival. The Bet365 Gold Cup has continued to provide high drama, none more so than the victory of Hennessy in 2009. Distances for each race meeting are settled on a 'first past the post' basis. If any of the scheduled races at a meeting are not run, bets are void unless the maximum quote has been attained. The maximum winning distance per race for a flat race is 12 lengths while a National Hunt race is 30 lengths.

In depth
Verdict
Dangan Des Champs went for £44,000 at the sales after finishing first past the post in an eventful Dromahane point-to-point where she was disqualified for taking the wrong course. She has a stamina-packed pedigree so should be at home over this trip on her debut for Philip Hobbs. LAGONDA won a point by 25 lengths and hasn't had the stamina test she requires in two bumpers though she's performed with credit in both and this should bring out the best in her. Anthony Honeyball has a strong hand with Midnight Callisto, who has been a beaten favourite in three of her four starts since a successful debut in a Fontwell bumper, and another bumper winner in Windswept Girl, though the latter was beaten 25 lengths into third on her hurdling debut.

If you have just had a close finish on the horse racing involving your horse and another then the chances are that’s why you’re here. First Past The Post Rules will help you find out if your eligible to be paid out either way.
First Past The Post Rules
Chances are you are here because you have just backed a winner and there is a stewards enquiry and you want to know if you will be paid out whatever happens right? Well, allow Gamblers Compendium to enlighten you on every bookmaker in the U.K that pays out on first past the post and what the rules are for each bookie.
Firstly first past the post means that if your horse has just won the race and was first past the winning line you don’t need to worry about stewards enquiries or amended results.
Amended results are when a winner is demoted in the placings or very rarely disqualified from the race, usually for interference in the race which would have meant another horse could and should have won the race instead of the eventual winner.
Some bookmakers may even pay out on a horse that finished second originally but has its place altered to first as the winner interfered with it on the run-up to the line. You should look out for these bookmakers but you will need to read all of their Terms and Conditions to be 100% clear.

Bookmakers that do not pay first past the post
Now I will explain each of the bookmakers listed above policy on first past the post payouts so you do not leave this page until you are crystal clear on if you will be paid out or not.

Terms and Conditions
Corals First Past The Post Rules
23.1 DOUBLE RESULTS
23.1.1 UK and Irish horse races are settled on a double result basis. This means that we will pay out on both:
- the official result from the racecourse on the day at the weighed in signal, and
- the “first past the post” result, which is the immediate result after the race has been completed with any subsequent amendments, as a result of stewards’ enquiries or objections, ignored.
The double results concession will generally apply to all single and multiple bets at UK and Irish race courses. However, only the official “weighed in” result on the day will apply in the following circumstances:
- to ante-post bets;
- to forecast and tricast bets;
- Aintree Grand National;
- to selections which have taken the wrong course;
- in races where an incorrect first past the post result has been announced in error by the judge;
- to selections carrying the wrong weight;
- to selections whose jockey failed to weigh in;
- any Tote or Pari-Mutuel bets;
- markets were on the winning favourites and distance betting;
- in betting without the favourites markets.
23.1.3 The double results concession will also not apply to daily challenge bets, which include jockey challenges, tipster challenges, meeting challenges, match bets, aggregate winning distance and winning distance specials. In the event of a double result, unless otherwise stated, all daily challenge bets will be settled according to only the official result on the day of the race, with the exception of aggregate winning distance bets and winning distance special bets which will be settled as per the distance betting rules (see sections 23.13 and 23.14).

- In the case of greyhound racing, bets are settled on the official result announced at the conclusion of the event. If a winner is disqualified after the official result is announced, the disqualification will not affect the settlement of bets.
- In the case of football and other sports, bets are settled on the official result published by the Press Association (PA), immediately after the match/event is finished. If the PA amends its decision after this period, all bets will stand on their original result.
- If the result is not immediately available from the PA, the result published by the official governing body immediately after the match/event is finished will be used for settling purposes. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.
- The Double Result concession is subject to a maximum payout enhancement of £5,000 above the original settlement amount had the concession not been applied. For example, if the true settlement was £3,000 the revised settlement after applying the concession will be subject to a maximum of £8,000.
- If a selection in a single bet is made void the stake will be returned.
- Void selections in multiple/accumulator bets will be treated as non-runners and the stake will run onto the remaining selections in the bet.

Toals Bookmaker First Past The Post Rules
- All bets are governed by Tattersalls Rules of Betting. These rules will govern the settlement of bets if anything occurs that is not covered by our stated rules.
- Bets are settled in accordance with the official result at the time of the “weigh in”. However, we also pay out on bets if your horse was ‘First Past The Post’. This means that if your horse crosses the finishing line first, but for some reason isn’t awarded the race, you don’t have to worry – we’ll still pay you the winnings!
- Should your selection be awarded a race or promoted to a place as a result of a Stewards Enquiry (which is announced before the “weigh in” or “winner alright”) this means you will also receive a return for your selection.
- First Past the Post is offered for all races in the UK & Ireland.
- First Past The Post does not apply on the following markets, events and circumstances:- Horses that are disqualified because they failed to ‘weigh in’ correctly.- Horses that are disqualified because they have taken the ‘wrong course’.- Where there is an official correction to the result by the judge or SIS prior to the “weigh in” and any races which are declared void before the “weigh in” for which Rules of Racing will apply.- Ante Post bets
– Races which are declared void.
- Any bets other than Ante Post will be void if the race is abandoned or declared void. If the race is postponed to a future day and the final Declarations stand, all bets will stand providing the venue is not changed. If this is the case all bets will be void.
- In the event of a false start etc resulting in a race being re-run, the race is not considered to be ‘under starters orders’ and stakes will be refunded on selections not taking part in the re-run with any returns on the remaining subject to Tattersalls Rule 4(c). The number of runners taking part in the re-run governs the Place terms.
- If a horse refuses to come out of the starting stalls or refuses to start in a National Hunt race but the official starter deems the horse a runner then that horse will be settled as a loser. Walkovers and void races count as races but any selection involved will be treated as a non-runner.
- Where a race has been declared a no-race and is re-run, all bets will stand for the Horses that take part in the re-run but single bets may be cancelled by mutual agreement up until the revised off time. Prices laid on a no-race will stand for the re-run race unless there is a non runner, in which case all bets will be settled as per Tattersals rule 4. Bets may be cancelled by mutual agreement prior to the re-run taking place but multiple bets will stand.
I would always contact your bookmaker if there is any discrepancy on your bets and try to do it as soon as possible. Often if it is in their terms and conditions they will have to pay you out. If you need any help get in touch.
