RQ, you have raised a very good question because one can't tell from the Equibase chart how the late scratch of #1 in race 7 should be treated. The rule in a vast majority of racing jurisdictions is that if there is a late scratch in a pick 4 [or 5 or 6] you get a refund if the scratch is in the first leg of the sequence and are moved to the post time favorite if it is in any other leg. I can't swear that Delaware follows the majority rule and am not sure how to find this out.
In this case, #2 Yes this Time was the PTF in race 7 and also was the winner. Fortunately, whichever way you handle it won't make a big difference. If you award a refund, the value will be $18 [6 x 6 x $0.50]. If you award a second pick 4 hit by virtue of the scratch into a PTF, the value will be $17.10. Since you awarded IH the largest benefit I think the way you treated this question was fair.
Have we thanked you lately for the conscientious way in which you score the ROI?
