I use Equibase to score and I generally don’t run into any issues. Saturday I also checked Bris. My main issue is scoring scratches in pick 3 and above races. I ‘m not certain sometimes whether a scratched pick reverts to the ml favorite. While I can check the charts for the ptf I’m still guessing whether that applies. In pick 4-5-6 races I guess the rules are different and the payouts list all the combos including scratches If I’m not certain I’d rather ask the group for feedback.

I forgot about that reverting to the favorite rule. I don't often play the multi-race bets.

A number of jurisdictions will offer consolation doubles and pick 3's when there is a late scratch in other than the first leg of either a double or pick 3. When that happens, that is usually noted in the Equibase charts.

In those instances where the scratch will revert to the ptf, the chart will usually indicate more than one winning number in the payoffs when the ptf is the winner.

RQ, I've always been very impressed with the effort you make to get the ROI results correct. It isn't always easy, especially when different racing jurisdictions have slightly different rules for computing payoffs. THANK YOU.
