Rule 4 - horses withdrawing the previous day?


Recommended Posts

I have been getting data about rule 4 deductions from the William Hill website. The descriptions of the deductions look like the sample below:

Win - 35p reductions on bets placed between 08:54:41 and  09:48:43
Win - 15p reductions on bets placed between 09:48:44 and  12:32:38
Win - 10p reductions on bets placed between 00:00:01 and  09:04:40
Win - 20p reductions on bets placed between 00:00:01 and  10:01:43
Win - 20p reductions on bets placed between 10:01:44 and  12:15:05
Win - 15p reductions on bets placed between 00:00:01 and  15:16:14
Win - 35p reductions on bets placed between 00:00:01 and  15:03:29
Win - 25p reductions on bets placed between 00:00:01 and  14:35:28
Win - 25p reductions on bets placed between 00:00:01 and  14:23:57
Win - 30p reductions on bets placed between 00:00:01 and  14:02:44
 

I have collected a large number of these and was expecting to see some instances where William Hill indicated that the withdrawal happened the day before the race but all the times listed come without a date. So either by chance no horse has ever withdrawn the day before a race or perhaps William Hill don't supply enough information to tell.

One thing that would help clarify things is if anyone can think of any example races in which one or more horses withdrew the day before the race.

I think its basically a WH site problem whereby they cant state a time before midnight.

Anything that says 00:00:01 has been withdrawn the day before.

Think about it, no trainer withdraws a horse at 1 second past midnight and if they did Weatherby's wouldnt answer the phone or read the email,  lol
