I also don't think money was a consideration in running that race. When you have horses in the paddock and saddled, they are pumped and ready to go. To unsaddle them and bring them back to the barn can be dangerous. I can see the wisdom in letting them run. They cancelled the other races where the horses hadn't been bought to the paddock yet.
DEL has always had DEL State Police on track since I was a kid. At least two. I was talking to one on DEL Hdcp day outside the paddock.
