This is different because the track knew beforehand that he didn't meet the conditions but allowed him to run. That's why I don't hold the trainer responsible. While the horse must still come down, in my opinion, and the second place horse be declared the winner and paid the purse, I'd let the owner of the DQd horse also keep the winnings since they used up a race on this horse. I see this as entirely the track's fault.
