This happened not so long ago at Kentucky Downs where an entire race was refunded because all the horses were not loaded into the gate before the race started. All bets refunded and zero purse money distributed.

The chart was confusing on this point and I assume it is flat out wrong in some way, but I don't know how.
The horse in question finished 2nd in an 11 race field. According to the chart 2nd place money was not awarded to anyone, but they still paid out to 11 places
This is according to BRIS chart.
Edit: on second thought they did not pay second place, and only paid 10 spots.
