It looks like a majority of the dogs running have no money bet on them. They even had one race (The 13th) where none of the top 3 dogs had a Win, Place or Show bet on them.
My favorite example was in the 7th. If you bet the :1: to place, congrats. The :1: finished dead last but was the only dog with any money bet on it to Place. So your $2 place bet returned $2.10 despite his last place finish!

I had something similar happen to me at the obscure Horseracing track in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada. They had just concluded their harness meet, but were then running 1 or 2 harness races as their first races of a mixed (TB+QH) card. Folks did not realize the first race had started, and there could not have been $50 in the pools, including the exotics.
What happened? There was no win pool money on the first three finishers, and the #1 horse who I bet to win but finished fourth received $17.20 for each $2 win ticket on them!!
This was an enjoyable racetrack, but with it so far away (about 275 miles northwest of Edmonton), and so many more unvisited tracks, a return visit would be in the far future.
