When does a race not have a tricast?

raheny red

On Sunday last I did a €1 CTC on these selections at the 4.50 at Fontwell.


1 (1) Cape Greko (|T J Murphy|) 4/1
2 (4) Eldorado (|J E Moore|) 7/1
3 (2) Salford City (|J M Maguire|) 4/6


I went to the counter to collect my winnings and I was told that this wasn't a TC race. However, she then told me 'we usually give back the stake but I'll pay you out the FC' (which was 30.56 - I think.) She paid out on a €1 FC by the way.

So I'm just wondering (for future reference) when does a race not include a TC, thanks!

I think it only handicaps with more than 8 runners but i am open to correction

Ya, think thats right.

Caught out myself recently in a maiden and was also paid the FC, I think that is standard.

Slap the word "declared" between 8 and runners, and you have it spot on.

Depends on the company's rules. Majority pay the FC dividend.

Agreed. Has to be a handicap with 8 declared runners (or more obviously) - the 4.50 in Font last sunday was a Novices Hurdle. I like doing a CSF myself, its a brilliant bet because you can take 2 short priced horses and a longshot just in case and it could still come up.

Cheers lads will remember that in future. Although I'm sure I've thrown away plenty of CTC's which were actually void

Based on the fcat that you were paid then they would not have actually been void, you cannot have it both ways!!

I'm referring to the CTCs which I have done before and I got no winners up in a race which did not include a tricast!

Which would have been captured as CFCs and been losers not voids if that's how they always treat the situation.

I reckon they paid out the CFC as it was only a small stake. Had it been a big winner I'm sure I would have just got my stake back.
