It just complicates the matter, it would make better sense to just scratch the 2nd half of the entry.
To award win, place and show money to horses who finish 2nd, 3rd and 4th due to a nonbetting interest at the last minute that happens to win makes no sense to me.
Sometimes, I feel this sport has rules in place just to complicate situations
