my fancies are
Double Dizzy 33-1 EW
Jewel of the West 8-1 win or ew , take your pick with a little saver in that race on Amigayle, mostly for old times sake.

horse is with new stable and one look at the spotlight on racing post will fill the heart with dread as just one win out of 46 (when a 4 year old) and was running off 117 a fortnight ago, now upped to 122, but form on good/good-soft looks marginally better than other runs.
peter carberry a good booking, even though he has no claim, and longshots do well in this race.
having said that the negatives outweigh the pros but with 4 places up for grabs ill be dabbling in that market, in the hope he can run on for 3rd or 4th.

if what you had in your mind as your pick became joint favourite, ie same price as another fancied horse at top of betting market, then the likliehood is in regards to terms if your horse (or the horse you had believed you were on) was number 6 for example and the other joint favourite was number 2 then the number 2 was now carrying your money, not the number 6 like you had believed
hope this explains it, it is unlucky but rules are rules, you havent backed a horse by name and therefore open to the downfalls such as this. the bookie will not pay as the bet is a loser
Really what Bell said but to put it a bit easier. If all results were won by the outright favourite you win and there is no auguement. However if any were won by a Joint Favourite(ie 2 horses were sent off favourite) or Co-Favourite(3 or more horses went off favourite) then in each case the actual favourite you were on was the one with the lowest racecard number. So I take it at least one of the races was won by a joint or co favourite with a higher number than the horse you were on. By the way which race meeting on which date was it cause I can check it for you.

Race 1 - 6.45 - Contributer 15/8f won
Race 2 - Anjaz and Grey Mirage both went of 7/2 fav, Anjaz was racecard number 6 whilst Grey Mirage was number 7. so you neeeded Anjaz to win which it did.
Race 3 - Taro Tywod and Sweet Liberta went off as joint 3/1 favouritees, Taro Tywod was number 12 and Sweet Liberta was number 11, so you needed Sweet Liberta to win but unfortunately for you it was Taro Tywod that won.
It was particualry unlucky because why you put your bet on Taro Tywod would have been the clear favourite but drifted out whilst Sweet Liberta was backed.
