Late withdrawal and Rule 4 not applied

• I think I have seen something on this before, but is it just down to an error as such?

  Newcastle 18:15 I used my WH boost to boost Evies Wish from 2.5 to 2.61 lay was at 2.46 so guaranteed £9.67.

  I have just looked now to see there was a reduction applied on betfair which reduced my lay odds to 2.2 due to Golden Easter 12/1 being withdrawn late on. (whether this was due to it not going into the starting gate i’m not sure). On the racing post it states Rule 4 applies to all bets deduction 5p in a pound.

  However, my William Hill bet has still paid me out at odds of 2.61 – £522. So this has resulted in a profit of around £65..happy days!

  My question being is this just an error on WH behalf? or do sometimes bookies not apply a rule 4 if so late on?

  Thanks
