I saw this happen live last night, and since Doug admitted to betting on the race I will admit it as well.

How is this not stealing from the bettors? I can understand WPS payouts, but EX- TRI- SF bets should be refunded in this case. ALL PLAYERS get screwed and the track gets over on people?????

Once the horses leave the gate unless there is some sort of track malfunction (gate stuck on track, lights go off, etc.) the horses are declared starters. If it had been a claiming race and there was a claim it would have been valid as well.
