Greyhounds

a) Multiplied Trap Numbers (Multi-mutts)

At specific greyhound meetings IG Index may offer a market in the aggregate total of multiplied forecast trap numbers (e.g. Trap 4 beats Trap 6 = 24). In the event of a void race, six-dog races will be allocated 12 points and eight-dog races will be allocated 20 points. Re-run races count as void.

b) Favourites Index

The Favourites Index works on the principle that a returned favourite is awarded a specified number of points for winning a race and a specified number for finishing second. In the case of joint or co-favourites, the lowest trap number counts for the index. In the case of a void race or where the favourite does not run, the favourite will be awarded the points allocation for second place. Re-run races count as void.

c) Abandoned Meetings

The rules for abandoned meetings are substantially the same as those for horse race meetings. (See Horse Racing (j).)

d) Match Betting

Where there is a bet about the distance between two specified greyhounds in a race at the finish, the rules are substantially the same as those for horse racing (See Horse Racing (d)), except that the maximum distance shall be 10 lengths. A distance shall also be regarded as 10 lengths. The results as published in the following day's tabloid edition of Racing Post (i.e. not the Betting Shop Display edition or racingpost.co.uk) will be final for settlement.

e) Aggregate Distances

Where there is a market on aggregate winning distances at a Greyhound meeting, or the televised part of a meeting, the same rules will apply as in match betting above. In the case of a void race, a distance of 2 lengths will be awarded for that race.

f) Individual Race Index

Where there is a market on the performance of greyhounds in an individual race, the same rules will apply as in Horse Racing (h). However, where a reserve runs in the place of a non-runner, Rule 4 will be applied and the reserve excluded for the purposes of the race index.
