Races and incidents

You can watch races on a screen that looks like a TV broadcast. Sometimes, incidents happen.

It is a broadcast-style screen with an evening-to-night sky, lights, rain, furlong poles and a finish post.
It has a full course map, live commentary and photo finishes.
It shows finishing times, margins, last 3 furlongs and a list of payouts. You can also watch replays.

They happen in about 1 in 5 races. You can't know in advance which race they will happen in.

Slow start: the horse is late out of the gate and has to race from behind.
Scratched: announced 3–15 minutes before the start. That horse doesn't run.
- Betting tickets that include that horse are fully refunded after the race.
- For Bracket quinella, tickets are refunded only when no horse is left running in that bracket.
- After the announcement, you can't bet on that horse. Odds and popularity for the other horses are recalculated.
Unseated rider (Did not finish): the jockey falls off during the race. The horse gets no finishing position, and its betting tickets lose.
Demoted (stewards' inquiry): this is when a horse that crossed the line 1st–3rd blocked the path of the horse that finished right behind it. After the inquiry, it is placed behind that horse.
- A race with an inquiry takes a little longer to become official (about 50 seconds after the finish).
- Payouts are based on the official finishing order.
