Bets for promoted standby runners accepted after sales start

To cope with different standby runner promotion systems in different countries, the arrangement for assigning horse numbers for promoted standby starters will now be different from that of the local races.

If there is a promotion of a standby starter in an overseas race, the original number allocated to the standby starter will remain unchanged instead of adopting the number vacated by the withdrawn horse. The horse numbers for standby starters will remain effective even after ticket sales for the race have started. Once a standby starter has been promoted as a declared starter, whether before or after sales start, bets will be accepted for this promoted starter.
