Speaking of multi-race wager rules, got hammered by something I had never seen before yesterday at Arlington Park.

Was singled to the favorite in the last race, final leg of pick 5. Will pay was $440.

They get to the gate, and the jock loses control of the 9 horse, who runs off and is a late scratch. Now I understand the rules, and I know the $ switches from the 9 to the favorite, my horse. He wins and the pick 5 comes back $300

Again, I get why it happened and how, but this seems terribly unfair to me and anyone who had the favorite on the ticket, while of course it's quite fortuitous for anyone who used the 9 horse.

Gate scratches in the final leg of a pick 4 or 5 sequence can be very costly.
