Just seen this now.
Something like this happened me in the past.
I was on Paddy Power waiting for a race to start about 2 months back, and waiting for the page to change to in-play version (to bet during the race). The race started on TV, but the page stayed on the pre-post version. I had no idea what was happening, so selected two or three bets of the likely winners - and they popped onto the bet slip (like they do pre race). The race ended, and the page still stayed up.
Here is the bad bit though. I made €5 on the horse that won, and the bet got accepted then about a minute later I look up and I had €25 extra in the bank (I got cashed out). Betting then got suspended ("event has already started" popped up).
The €25 was never removed, so the fact I could have bet more (and won €500+) kills me. I had over €100+ in my account at the time, and did not use it.
I like to think they would have noticed it if I did a big bet like that - and removed the bigger winnings (although, I keep thinking I would have got away with it).

Most of the time when things like this happen bookies tend to leave these bets stand as a good will gesture!
The fact you only had a fiver this and was let keep with winnings proves this as you would of had a big bet, it would defo have been voided as they not noticing late bets on a horse race is near impossible0 -
