I'm not sure how a relatively high priced major contender scratching could possibly "hurt" the pool unless for some reason you think a very significant portion of people are going to pass on the race just because Quality Road is out? Is that what you're saying?

I understand what you are saying now, what I mean't was it would significantly lower the odds on other horses in the race. Most notably the horses that were 3rd and 4th in betting and on down. Regardless of his chances he was an attractive bet to many, he would have taken alot of money in this race, now that money is going to be dispersed elsewhere.
