As it so happened:
The race where the lights went out was the last leg of their single jackpot pick5.
They were forced to declare the last race an 'ALL' for purposes of paying out their single jackpot pick5.
Five of five ended up paying about $377 for $0.50 because of the 'ALL' in the last leg.
Peanuts (for some players) compared to what they stood to collect had the lights stayed on for another minute and a half.

The total paid out was the same and for most players the bet became a winner if their live horses did not win.
I agree that some players that went really deep probably lost and did not return the cost of their bet.
