Unless they specify otherwise, a scratch from the Field will not void the bet. You will also see something like "Bluegrass Cat must start" as part of the Field line, but Pinnacle did not do that.

When a single horse is part of the matchup, like Bernardini, then you are correct that his scratch would void the bet.

Nice job explaining the odds, btw.
