The tri would either be 3/5/7 or 5/3/7. The 4 would not enter into any of those payouts. After all it was 4th, not 3rd. Our scoring has been consistent with this approach. I think that Plen looks at both 3/5/7 and 5/3/7 and awards each player the higher of their two potential scores. That's my recollection anyway. Now need to watch the walkover.
edit - I think your approach penalizes the person who had both of the dead heat winners in their tri and rewards the person who picked in their tri a horse who did not hit the board. That doesn't refelct what would happen it one were betting.

Yes, problem is I haven't had my glass of wine yet and was way overthinking/complicating it . . . which I never do after a glass of wine or two. To the fridge, to the fridge!!!
Thanks JB.
