What is a Racing Protest?

A Protest occurs when a Trainer or Jockey challenges the outcome of the race, most commonly due to interference. 

What happens in the event of a Racing Protest?

If your winnings have been paid when a protest occurs, there may be a small period where we need to re-result your bet.  

What is a Protest Payout?

If your runner comes first but then is decided a loser due to the protest, you may be eligible for a Protest Payout.
