Same thing happened in the 80's at Los Alamitos (Yes they used to have harness racing for a brief time). My leading horse, Wintario was about to
get swallowed up at the 1/8 pole but the two horses passing him tangled
and created a pile up. I think I got $9.00 win mutuel on a horse that should have finished 4th or 5th. There was no rioting though, especially from me as I had $450 and should have had zero as I bet my last $100.
Over the course of time I know I have benefited from accidents more often than not.
