A power failure in Johannesburg on Friday night delayed the declaration of dividends for various races and bets and affected pool totals.
The power failure followed by a generator malfunction resulted in TAB having to perform an unscheduled shutdown of the tote system.
This in turn resulted in TAB not receiving final scans of various pools from international commingling partners like Isle Of Man and France and bets from these sources were consequently refunded.
Pools affected were as follows:
GREYVILLE
Place Accumulator pool reduced by R142 088,58
Pick 6 pool reduced by R142 435,0
Jackpot pool reduced by R166 001,40
Quartet pools Races 7 & 8 reduced by R1685,62
DUNDALK
Jackpot and all pools Races 4, 5 and 6 refunded
WOLVERHAMPTON
Race 6 refunded
JACKPOT QUICKMIX
All runners to qualify in two legs
SOCCER 6
Soccer 6 P2 closed about 25 minutes earlier than scheduled
TAB apologises to all customers for the unscheduled shutdown.
