i would say before going in the stalls ..once under orders thats that
If the horse is actually placed in the stalls, becomes fractious or panicky and is then taken out, it is deemed to have been 'withdrawn - not under orders'. Which is basically the same as being a non-runner. Once under orders, the horse is deemed to be a runner, even if it fails to leave the stalls. Some firms will refund stakes on such horses, usually as free bets.
