The guy got paid. Yes, I feel bad about his hassles, and perhaps if he had gone to the right people at the track on that day it would have been straightened out even faster. However, there is absolutely no way you can expect the clerk to have paid him. That's just ridiculous.

Believe me, I'm a bettor, and I sympathize with his plight to an extent, but since he got paid ultimately it is hard to not feel that the right thing was done.

I would like to know how much was bet on these affected races and how much was refunded? If this is not an uncommon occurance I would think they would have a policy in effect.
