Ontario racing commission senior judge Pat Webb:
With only two horses finishing the race, Webb told Trot Insider that the purse monies for the third, fourth and fifth placed finishers were divided evenly between the non-offending horses - that being all horses involved with the accident with the exception of Warp Speed. This comes from Rule 18.03 of the ORC rules of racing:
If there are any premiums for which horses started but were unable to finish due to an accident or interference, all unoffending horses that did not finish shall share equally the premiums they would have been entitled to had they finished, and any remaining premiums shall be paid to the race winner.
