Update on Tote Payouts – L’Ormarins King’s Plate

Dear Racing Supporters,

Due to high on course payout and card transaction volumes on Saturday at the L’Ormarins King’s Plate, some punters experienced delays when redeeming their cash payouts.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and can confirm that the majority of winnings have now been paid out. If you are among the few punters who have not yet received your payout, please contact the Tote on 021-700 1621 and they will assist you in resolving the matter as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
