I agree. If they've already paid out the losers they must pay out the winners. The above is the official result. Sharrocks' horse will get paid out stake money for fifth. It's in their rules. 1.1 General Determination of Results (a) All racing bets shall be settled based on the official declaration of the result of the race as made by the relevant racing authority on the day of the race. -

Leadership , courage and strength that's Trump , not in office yet but already causing/demanding respect and putting fear into those who have abused their positions and treated the USA with total disrespect, the USA is not a dumping ground for their problems but poor left wing leadership has made that possible. A couple of conversations from a real leader and this is what happens , Security forces in Mexico have seized over a ton of fentanyl pills in two raids, making it the biggest seizure of synthetic drugs in the country's history. Authorities said that the amount of fentanyl they seized was equivalent to 20 million doses and would blow an economic dent to organized crime of an estimated $400 million (€380 million). The fentanyl was found at two locations in the municipality of A home. According to Mexican officials, security forces were able to find the opioids through intelligence work and tip-offs from the public. Canada . Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government will step up border enforcement in a “visible and muscular way,” according to a top Canadian official, as the nation tries to avoid tariffs from Donald Trump’s new administration The government will announce additional border resources “in the coming days or weeks,” which may include more drones, helicopters and staff . LeBlanc was one of a handful of Canadian officials who attended the dinner with Trump and Trudeau, where the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues, including movements of fentanyl and unauthorized migrants. .Trump said on social media on Saturday that Trudeau “has made a commitment to work with us” to impede drug trafficking. -
You must contact them again. There's much evidence in your favour, none in their favour.

So they don't believe they had the wrong result? that is serious if the NZTR has a different result. Surely all they have to do is review the race vision to confirm which is the correct result?

This is a serious fault. I’ve felt this before when my bet was an obvious winner. .. -
In this case both the apples and the oranges are rotten. Only open-heart surgery could determine whether it's to the core in one, the other, or both.

The easy money was to be got at Geraldine with the driver upscales - Te Rapa and Jack Tar

Strange because the TAB shows #1 further from the winner by margin at 3.5L. But they have it higher in the finishing order than #2 who is showing 3.3L. They have the margins correct but the order wrong.

McDonald collects second LONGINES World’s Best Jockey Award By Daryl Timms 07/12/2024 12:10 Fresh from the official presentation of the 2024 LONGINES World’s Best Jockey Award, New Zealander James McDonald is aiming for more success in tomorrow’s (Sunday, 8 December) LONGINES Hong Kong International Races (HKIR) at Sha Tin. A proud McDonald, who is on a short riding stint in Hong Kong until he returns to Sydney on 22 December, was formally announced as the LONGINES World’s Best Jockey Award winner during a special ceremony and presentation at the LONGINES Hong Kong International Races Gala Dinner at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Friday evening (6 December). It was the second time Australia-based McDonald has won the award, after first winning it in 2022. He won nine of the world’s top 100 Group 1 features from December 2023 until November 30, 2024 – LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (Romantic Warrior), Stewards’ Cup (Voyage Bubble), Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (Romantic Warrior), Ranvet Stakes (Via Sistina), FWD QEII Cup (Romantic Warrior), Yasuda Kinen (Romantic Warrior), W.S. Cox Plate (Via Sistina), VRC Champions Sprint (Sunshine in Paris) and VRC Champions Stakes (Via Sistina). The 32-year-old held onto win the award by just 10 points from four-time winner, Englishman Ryan Moore (150). William Buick was third with 105 points. Jockeys accrue 12 points for a win, six points for second, and four points for third in races which feature in the LONGINES World’s Top 100 Group 1 races. Moore, needed a victory aboard Auguste Rodin in last month’s Japan Cup to leapfrog McDonald but finished eighth to Do Deuce, ridden by Japanese legend Yutaka Take. McDonald was presented with a watch from LONGINES Chief Executive Officer Matthias Breschan and a crystal vase by The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Chief Executive Officer Mr Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, in his role as Chair of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA). McDonald finished third in the award last year. Frankie Dettori, who is also a four-time winner, was second. Now with a career total of 104 Group 1 victories, four of McDonald’s eligible winners in the competition, were on champion Hong Kong stayer Romantic Warrior who he rides in tomorrow’s HK$40 million G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (2000m). McDonald is bidding to create history with Romantic Warrior becoming the first horse to win three editions of the Hong Kong Cup. His rides in the other three features are Ensued in the G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (2400m), Howdeepisyourlove in the G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) and Voyage Bubble in the G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m). McDonald said he didn’t expect to win another LONGINES World’s Best Jockey title and this time it probably meant more because he’d now won it twice. “When you look at Frankie (Dettori) winning four and Ryan (Moore) winning four, it’s such a hard award to win and it’s such a long season and you’re so consistent and to be able to be part of a big horse’s journey and at the moment I’m blessed because I’ve got two (Romantic Warrior and Via Sistina),” he said. McDonald said he had idolised past winners Dettori, Moore and Hugh Bowman and aspired to be as good as them. Since winning the first award, McDonald said he now believes he is mentally stronger which has been helped with overseas exposure. “And nothing beats experience and I think the ultimate and third thing I have learnt is that to be to cope with what Frankie, Ryan and Hughie (Bowman) have been able to do and ride champion race horses and to be able to cope with the sort of pressure,” he said. “Look, I thoroughly enjoy it and I think it is a very privileged position to be in and I think that’s grown on me to be able to ride great race horses on the biggest stage whether it’s Royal Ascot or Hong Kong International meeting.” Despite the early morning starts and continual race meetings in Australia, McDonald says he loves what he does and doesn’t see it as a job. “Romantic Warrior, I keep bringing him up, but he has taken me to a new level that I didn’t think was possible,” McDonald said. “There is no doubt you have doubts about things and I think until you feel it, breath it, you won’t ever get to that level and now I just embrace the animal I am riding and embrace the race that we are riding in and I know for a fact that on Sunday the Hong Kong Cup means a hell of a lot to not only myself and the connections that are physically involved in him.” With such a big fan following, McDonald said he was also riding Romantic Warrior for Hong Kong, who he described as everyone’s horse, and hoped to be part of the history of riding the gelding to a record third Hong Kong Cup.

You can't rush things duckie. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day. You'd think they could/would make an effort for such an important day wouldn't you??? If we're really lucky we'll be able to bet before the first - but we mustn't over excite ourselves with that thought. Thanks for the info.
