Monmouth P3 Scratch Rule (& Trivia ?)

[smootsirvin]

Thanks for the quick response, Steve.

On you trivia question, what a dilemma!!

Gotta split 'em somehow. I'm gonna guess it's the co-favorite of the two, with the higher program number.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

And I would've guessed the horse with the lower program number.

Will be interesting to know the actual rule.

The horse most played in the pick-3 ending on that leg?

I bet you've got it, Brian.

But then I haven't won a bet in a week, so.....

I was originally going to guess lower number, but then I thought higher number would make it less likely that an "entry" was being assigned.


One additional question, please.

Thanks so much to Phil and Steve for your assitance, but for clarification, does REFUND mean the whole ticket is refunded or only the amount linked to the scratched horse? My fear is I bet the Turf mile in leg 1, a Horse/Mare I have scratches, another one I have wins, I hit the last two legs and I am left with a complete refund rather than a winning ticket? Again thanks so much, everybody and good luck this weekend!

Only the amount linked to the scratched horse... I.E. if you used 3 in the first leg and one scratched, a third of the ticket would be refunded.

Whichever has highest place pool of the two?

[TheSpyder]

I'd say they pay with either.

Whoever had the lowest ML ?

[Cannon Shell]

The same way they determine inquirys.....flip a coin

[Kasept]

All good responses and one somewhat correct...

Interestingly, should co-favorites be equally bet in the win pool, the deciding factor used as the substitute post time favorite for a scratched P4/P6 use is THE HORSE CLOSEST TO THE RAIL!

By that do you mean the inside-most number - or the horse who literally breaks closest to the rail?

What if horses 1 and 5 are tied - but number one is part of an entry and is breaking from post #7?
