The word "may" means it is a judgment call. I believe New York Stewards can also call a race void too, but the rule is very vague:
4035.5. Stewards may declare race void, order refund.
The stewards shall have the authority to declare a race void and to order all wagers made thereon refunded if they shall determine that any occurrence before or during the running of such race calls for such action by them.

By the looks of the chart it seems the winner got the whole purse. True?

Don't want to watch a replay from the sound of it, but sure hope everyone makes it out of it in at least good shape.

Many jurisdictions have different rules for these type instances.
In California the stewards would use rule #1544 to guide their decision.
It reads....................
1544. Calling off Race.
(a) If the stewards determine a race cannot start before midnight or cannot be conducted in accordance with the Board’s rules and regulations, they shall cancel and call off such race.
(b) The stewards may declare a race no contest if mechanical failure or interference during the running of the race affects the majority of horses in such race.
(c) Any wagers on races called off, canceled, or declared no contest shall be refunded, and no purse, prize or stakes shall be awarded.
(d) If a race is called off, canceled, or declared no contest, any submitted claims shall be void.
(e) A race shall be canceled if no horse covers the course.
Hope that sheds some helpful light.
Praying for the fallen jockeys and horses.

Racing isn't viable at Charles Town without the slots, but this statement doesn't really gell with the $1,000,000 prize at the Charles Town Classic, which they have no obligation to keep running.

Sorry, but this just does not make sense. Aqueduct has just 2 finishers in this race a couple of years ago:

Do they not care about racing?

Charles Town 2/29/2012 Spill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-rQofsWM9Q
In the eighth race at Charles Town on February 29, 2012 only one out of the eight runners finished an ugly allowance sprint in the slop.
Sharp Beauty set the pace but broke down near the quarter pole under Carlos Marrero, setting off a chain reaction that left only one horse and rider standing at the finish line.
Little Miss Jane, Spunkette, Shine For Me, and Simsational fell and walked off.
Page's Promise fell and walked off with cuts on her left front leg and left stifle.
Ideal Thoughts stumbled at the start and trailed before losing her rider trying to avoid the spill.
Post time favorite Miss Fifty won the demolition derby after checking sharply to avoid the spill under Oswald Pereira. She paid $5.60 to win.

It looked like his horse MISS FIFTY, really came through for him. Both she and Oswald Pereira showed pretty amazing balance. Either could have easily gone down.

That was crazy. In watching the replay, pertty eventful for the jock on the 1, stumble out of gate to almost fall off and then the horse goes down in the resulting fall.
Almost disaster after the race, when the winner has stopped his gallop and the loose horse narrowly avoids running into jock and horse.

To me, fair is following the rules. In NY, there are rules specifically covering what happens to the pools if only one horse finishes. Looks like CT has basically the same rules. I too was under the impression that a certain percentage had to finish the race here, but had that wrong. Only called off and full refunds if no one finishes, also in the rules.
