The article is rather unclear.  What caused him to miss out on his winnings the first time?

EDIT: And I might be tossing a match into an oil well here, but this brings to mind Luke 12:16-21 - the parable of the rich fool.

The horse that won (the last in an accumulator) was disqualified.  He only bet £2, was up for a million and saw that fall to £90.
