Leopardstown: Technical fault blamed as Betfair cancels Hurdle bets

There were bizarre scenes in the in-running betting world during racing at Leopardstown today with a freakish amount traded on Betfair in the woodiesdiy.com Christmas Hurdle.

A total of £1,642,094 was matched at 28-1 on Voler La Vedette, who went off the 13-8 favourite on-course and won very easily.
