Default Hollywood Park Pick 4 Policy

I am mad as heck

I had a Pick 4 live going into the last race with two horses on Friday night. I have The favorite and the 8-1 shot in the last leg. The favorite is a late scratch and all I have is the 8-1 shot. The second choice wins it and I get nothing. I dont get a refund, consolation payoff or anything.

There is a consellation for the pick 3 and daily double but none for the pick 4.
I am steaming right now.

the 1st leg was 6-1
the 2nd leg was 12-1
the third leg was 2-1

After the #5 (original favorite) was scratched The #8 inherited the favorite's role and the #2 inherited second choice.

I think the policy is if your horse gets scratched you automaticaly get the post time favorite which to me is a stupid rule. just give me my refund I will be happy.

Oh in that case it made sense. . . I agree with you, though, that it's a flawed system. . .

I'm so used to that policy on the pick 4. Who gives you a consolation if your horse scratches in the last leg of a p4 that you're live for?
