            What does 'self certificate ' mean as a reason given for a Non Runner.

              If my workplace is anything to go by, the horse phoned in sick

                So no need for vet to verify?

                  Correct. Although I initially spoke in jest, a horse self certifying is actually similar to someone phoning in sick to work. In a horse's case, the trainer can declare a non runner if they think it is unfit to run without a need for a vet, same way a person can phone in to work and not need a doctor's note for the first few days.

                  If that happens, the horse can't run anywhere else for a set period of days in order to prevent the self certifying process being abused by trainers.

                      Particularly with your name on here - I feel above else you are the voice of reason on this matter. Jokes aside it’s piss poor though isn’t it.

                          Thanking you! Gratefully taken.

                          I wonder if this is a one off or a trend for this year? They never reintroduced cash out unless the selection was removed and re added to the market.
