What happens if one of my runners is scratched?
Scratchings are runners who withdraw from races. If a runner withdraws from a race after the final scratchings have been entered, they are then called ‘late scratchings’.
All scratchings for the current race day can be viewed via the scratchings page. Alternatively, scratchings and late scratchings are displayed in individual race views and meeting overviews.
