The tie-breaker, IMO, seems a curious choice. It's as if luck is being awarded. The highest show price would more than likely be a poor choice to make in a survivor contest, ie. big price, why use long odds in this type of contest?
I understand the value of high odds horses...it's how you beat the real game. However, in a contest where all you need to be is in the money and at a track where 5 horse fields are commonplace, getting a longshot to hang on or clunk up for third is luck not pre-designed accomplishment.
