Balloted out horses: Ballot mark No 1 comes out first

by Ken Gray
(Coventry )

When there are more horses entered at the five day stage than can run there is a small number printed ahead of the horses name.

I assume this is the order they will be eliminated but is the number one the first to be eliminated or the first to get in should one without a number not be declared.

Answer as supplied by Wetherbys:

You are right they are elimination marks. Our system works that ballot mark No 1 comes out first, so the higher the ballot mark the better your chance of getting a run.
