Points ruling on Race 11 . . . winning dead heat

[JolyB]

I don't think that is how Plen has scored dead heats in the past. If you were betting you would have the winner with either 3 or 5. The 7 would be third. The exacta would be either 3/5 or 5/3. 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.
