I could argue both sides and it's surely more complicated than some people are suggesting. What about dead heats in earlier races? What about multiple dead heats?
The arguement, especially in Pick-6s, is that it's a bet about winning races and not exactly selecting winners. Three tickets survived the six races....thus it is split three ways.
Look, I'm not saying I completely agree or disagree, just trying to point out that it's a larger discussion.
