jayalexander Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Left the stalls minus jockey! 2/1 fav and I had bloody money on it! Luckily the vc pl offer more than covers it, but it's more the principle of the matter - reckon I'll get it refunded? Did anyone else see it?

beaker1 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie looking at slow motion replays on ATR - horse dives under the gates, jockey's best bid is to hold onto the stalls to avoid an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayalexander Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie Even Stevens ran a great race, but you can't say Monsieur Jamie 'almost certainly' wouldn't have won as he never had the chance! Anyways, lets hope all the firms start refunding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRat Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie I think this is part of the game to be honest. Unfortunate but swings and roundabouts imo. Some days you have the winner that may have benefitted from the mistake. Same as a horse falling at the first hurdle and I thought it was a joke bookies refunded bets on Binoc - that is ante post betting. We have all bet on horses that have not run. Also, what if you studied the race, backed the winner, confident it would beat the field, then had to have a rule 4 as it was deemed a NR. Good PR for those when they do it, but you can tell the liabilities on horse when they do and don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowgli77 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie You can always contact them and ask for a refund, nothing wrong with a bit of cheek. I contacted bet365 recently as my horse Shammy Buskins was not even with the leaders when they set off, it was in fact facing the wrong way after it spun around before the off but the starter let them go and it didn't race but was still officially under starters orders. I complained that it had no chance and I didn't get a fair run for my money, they refunded me as a 'goodwill gesture' but some other bookies had already stated they would refund bets on the horse. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRat Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie The same goes with ante post. Its amazing but if you actually call and ask for your stake back they often do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayalexander Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie Funds not automatically refunded into account, so email sent to VC politely requesting that they be, due to a freak incident. Will keep all informed of the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayalexander Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie I received a reply from VC shortly after I sent the email. Didn't really answer my query but said that the promo cash would be in my account with 48 hours. I was actually prepared to forfeit the original stake as I was having a good week but I still haven't any sign of promo cash from VC. Sent them another email tonight saying this and received a response that it is being forwarded to the promotions team. Anyone else had problems?

jayalexander Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie Case is now resolved. No refund on Monsieur Jamie, but the 200% promo bonus is now safely in my account - took them long enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torn up slip Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie Spencer was on it was he not? Horse had more chance without that buffoon trying to control him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayalexander Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Re: Monsieur Jamie Wrong. It was Greg Fairley. You should have checked that before you posted because it's now you looking like a buffoon :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
