I've already stated why they're meaningless. (to horseplayers)

The rules going in before the first leg were clear, there would be no guarantee and everyone was made aware of that. There is false advertising if I wagered believing there was a guarantee.

Is it written anywhere that the Guarantee is based upon full fields? And what defines a "full field" ? What about the player that put in his ticket before the card started and then took the family out to dinner? They should have cancelled the card.
