I hope that this is not a daft question. Why is the betting halted on the Exchange before the race has finished ? When the betting is halted I don't know whether to rescue a Lay Bet or leave it to run. I've had a couple of narrow squeaks which I could have prevented if I could have put on a Back Bet. I couldn't do that because the betting had been halted on the Exchange and I had to listen to the continuing commentary without being able to act.
Why do they halt the betting before the race has finished ? Would be grateful for comments. Thank you.
