The one horse overcame some traffic to get up and win, but won't collect that $54k portion of the purse. As bettors we get screwed plenty. In this case, the horsemen were screwed. Horses don't have unlimited bullets to fire. Brad Cox and Bridgmohan have reason to be upset.

From the track purse account:
$5,000 given to each of the 12 horses in the race, and $500 given to each jockey.
There were several other horses in the race that were not ready and were held back by the starters assistants, that is why the race was called a no contest.
