That must've been it. Here's the whole breakdown. I was wondering why 'any' scratches get paid, then. They paid for two of them yesterday (just not the one I needed):
$0.50 Pick 5 3/5-7-4-4/5-5 (5 correct) 684.45
On the other hand, I was very pleasantly surprised on opening day to get paid 4 times on the late Pick 4 here. (Won't let me cut & paste result):

It was paid on this ticket:
Race 6 Santa Anita $0.50 P4 (PWHL)
3, 5, 9 / 1, 3, 7 / 4 / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Bet $49.50 $1,392.60
I had to place bets early & go to work that day, but yesterday they weren't placed until between 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. Sure wish I knew what qualifies as "early." I've even bet at 3:00 a.m. recently to try to get paid for scratches that I 'think' take place when the business office opens around 9:00 a.m. I know one morning recently, one of my horses scratched between 9:00 a.m. & 9:30 a.m. while I had my wager pad open & was in the process.
Thanks. Any additional insights always appreciated.
