New Approach Non Runner

Following the news that trainer Jim Bolger will not run in the Irish Derby Stan James have decided to refund all wagers including antepost bets placed on the colt for the Curragh Classic as the colt does not line up in the Irish Derby. Meanwhile some followers of Irish handler Tony Martin will not be believe their good fortune as the John Smith's Northumberland Plate winner Arc Bleu was well-backed with the firm this morning at 13/2 yet was allowed to go off at 14/1. With the firms Best Odds Guaranteed those who took the 13/2 this morning will be paid out at 14/1 including one lucky punter who had £500 ew at 13/2 (paid 14s) first thing.

Head of PR Charlie McCann: "Some antepost punters and pundits felt aggrieved over the Epsom win of New Approach given he was touted as a non runner in the build up to the race until the Monday prior to the Classic. With this in mind we have decided to refund all wagers placed on the Jim Bolger trained colt for the Irish Derby if he fails to recover from his bruised foot in time. One of our regular punters had a monkey each way at 8.50 this morning on Arc Bleu at 13/2. He would expect a return of £5062.50p for his bet but will receive £9750.00 an additional £4677.50p on his early morning price given our continued Best Odds Guarantee concession."
