Not quite as simple as adding it back in. To avoid the 10K penalty, he would have had to play the 600 before the last race leaving him 2100 instead of 2700 to play in the last race(assuming he didn't win with the 600) which would have reduced his final winnings substantially. At least that's the way I see it, but admittedly, I am a math idiot.

On the flip side, if he knew he needed just one more race, he could have wagered $600 to show on Bricks and Mortar to meet the requirement and pretty safely kept his bankroll high enough to make the final wager in Race 12.

Then again, it’s easy to second guess people after the fact.

I would think he knew he needed another one, but maybe not. Betting way bigger bets than most folks ever bet. At least the ones that live in my neighborhood. Might tend to make one a bit nervous and a little wobble headed.

Fascinating to look through the bets. Kind of feel for the guy who went all in on Decorated Invader. Not only should he have won, Irad rode amazing all weekend except for that race.
