Notes
A race we have confirmed will never have a result — abandoned or void — returns 200 with the race, no positions, and meta.result_available: false. That is a definitive answer: stop asking. If the race has no result but is not confirmed dead, the endpoint returns 409 with error code result_not_available, the race's current status, and a boolean retry. 404 is reserved for a race ID that does not exist, so "wrong ID" and "no result" are never the same response. Changed 7 September 2026: this case previously returned 404, which said the race was missing when it was simply not settled. retry: true means the race has not run yet and polling will eventually succeed; retry: false means it ran and was abandoned, voided or never settled, so no amount of polling will produce a result.Irish races before September 2026 have no off time. The source publishes those results with a date and no clock, so scheduled_start is midnight UTC on the race date and off is null. It is not a gap in our ingest and there is nothing to wait for. Irish racing from this month onward, and all GB and AU racing, carries a real time.
