There was a 1 horse race at Colonial a few years back and I'm pretty sure the winner got the entire purse. Amoss trained the winner and Karamonos rode the horse and at the 1/4 pole the horse ducked out and almost dropped him. Might have been the first horse to lose a walkover.

I remember that race. Found the chart

It shows a purse of $17,000, but they paid out only $14535. That is an odd percentage. There was also an $8,500 bonus for the Virginia Breeders Fund that reverted, but that doesn't explain the other $2465. Weird stuff.

No idea how they got that payout figure. The horse in the walkover was actually still running as recently as last summer at Mountaineer as a 9yo.

I think he just got the winners share as a VA bred

60% of 17000=10200
60% of 8400=5040
15240-usual bullshit that they take out=14535
