I was involved in a race like this years ago and thought I would get more of the pot and the track just kept the 4th and 5th purse. They kept it listed at the purse but only put out like 93%. 4th and 5th only get like 5% and 2%.
This betting in the 10th was spread out. Even with 3 horses they would make out on win only betting. Any other wagers they were afraid of losing money.
Plus people leave on Sunday. There is only a few thousand at most still in the track for the nightcap.
