Why make excuses in a situation where the track is plainly in the wrong? I'm tired of horseplayers making excuses when we are being insulted and that is what those that are defending it are trying to do.
If it is meaningless, then why do they advertise a guaranteed minimum pool?
If you know what the rules are going in, then please tell us exactly what circumstances they are permitted to pull their "guarantee?"

The track carded a p-4 that was depleted by scratches well before the first leg started.The guarantee was based on full fields. That's the excuse. No one was harmed here. To an extreme if there were 4 two horse fields they'd have to be idiots to guarantee 600k.
I've already stated why they're meaningless. (to horseplayers)
The rules going in before the first leg were clear, there would be no guarantee and everyone was made aware of that. There is false advertising if I wagered believing there was a guarantee.
