I have a question about the rules pertaining to entries. If I am reading the above right, I pick and entry and only list #1 as my pick, (1A is the other half),
are you saying that if the 1 is scratched and the 1A wins, I get credit, but if the 1A loses, it's called no action? If that is the case, It pays to simply list one horse from an entry rather than both. I must be reading this wrong so I would appreciate an explanation. Thanks.

This rule is unchanged from the previous year, and "the intent" is to protect the player from a late scratch. At the same time, your are correct that a player could manipulate a selection to get in essence a risk-free play. Should it become evident that a player was doing this, the the contest administrators could take appropriate action.
Or, if Jay thinks it is a better option, we could go ahead and change the rule now to eliminate credit for the portion of the entry one does not specify.
