I don't want to get into this too deep. The winner is the biggest part, but I use other horses too. It is weighted. The better the finish, the more it counts.
Dead heats are easy, just add the weighting for the positions of the dead heat and divide them up by the number of horses involved. If I ever get a four horse dead heat my program will probably blow up, only have it programmed for 2 or 3.
