Consider a horse entered in one maiden race on a Tuesday, and another such event on the Friday. Should the runner in question compete in and win the Tuesday event, they would then lose their maiden status and be unable to take up the entry on the Friday.
Then of course we have the problems related to transporting the runners from their yard to the racecourse itself. Despite the best-laid plans, training operations are not immune to traffic delays, which can on occasion be severe enough to result in a runner being withdrawn from a race.
A relatively infrequent occurrence, a failure to enter the stalls is most commonly witnessed in races for the younger, less experienced horses. Another thing to be aware of here is that any horse in the stalls at the point at which the race begins, or lined up at the start in a jumps race, is deemed to have gone under starters orders and will be classed as a runner in the race — even should they then refuse to race by not leaving the stalls or by planting themselves at the start line.
The answer to this question differs depending upon when you placed your bet. The vast majority of bookmakers will offer non-runner no bet NRNB on all bets placed either on the day of the race itself or at any point after the final declarations have been made.
For flat racing this equates to all wagers accepted after 10am two days before the race, whilst for the majority of National Hunt contests the final declarations are made at 10am on the day before the race. Whilst backing a non-runner may be disappointing, in these instances you will at least receive your money back. But what about bets placed before the final declarations for a given race?
The plus side to betting so far in advance is that you are often able to obtain more attractive odds than those available on the day of the race. However, the downside comes in the treatment of non-runners. In ante-post betting, stakes are not returned should your selection fail to line up on the day, with all non-runners being treated as losing bets. There are however occasionally exceptions to this, the most high-profile example being the Cheltenham Festival, with many firms offering NRNB well in advance of the final declaration stage for the highlight of the National Hunt season.
Any non-runner contained within a multiple bet will be made void , effectively being removed from the bet with the stake then continuing on to the remaining selections. In practice what this means is that all four-folds featuring a non-runner will be reduced to trebles, trebles reduced to doubles and so on.

Originally, there were a specific set of rules on horse racing that bookmakers had to follow.
They took the Ronseal approach on that one. The price on your each way bet could be subject to the same reduction factor as above.
However, as you can see from the picture above, after the non runner, the race reduces to 7 runners and the bookmakers will then only pay out for 1st and 2nd. They do change the terms usually too, so it all works out fairly fair. Become an OddsMonkey Premium member and get access to the guides mentioned above and so much more!

You can read more about ante post bets here. The non-runner no bet policy will tend to be offered on all markets that have been drawn up on the day of the race running. In this time period of time horses are likely to have either pulled out already or be registered to other races following the hour declaration stage, so both you and the bookmaker will have a much better idea as to what the field of runners will look like.
This is often extended to the evening before the day of the race also. As we mentioned above, non-runner no bet is offered on certain ante post markets but when and where this is applied is at the discretion of each bookmaker so keep an eye out for when this is available. You will find that for ante-post betting this sort of insurance generally wont be offered. The odds for this type of market are usually preferable when betting weeks or even months before a race, but you lose the guarantee of getting your stake back should that horse not run for whatever reason.
Again this can change if the bookmaker is offering some sort of concession but the general rule of thumb is that ante post bets are not NRNB but races on the day of the race are.
