I'm pretty sure there's a way a ticket card with alternates can be scanned into the pools.

More equitable would be a refund for the reduced combinations covered. If you think through all the permutations of using alternates (cause you can't just use one). These include the on track delays in entering tickets; inevitable arguments on cost of ticket when someone uses too many alternates; what happens when you use more horses than the remaining alternates and it is a turf race that comes off and 60% of field scratches. There are many many more. You very quickly find yourself down a rabbits hole of alternate rules. Years ago when I had to use an offshore book I remember they simply refunded and I was ok with that.
