Sharp job noticing this error. I don't know who is responsible for situations like this & how much double checking goes on to prevent them from happening, but it seems pretty inexcusable. Certainly not the first payout error out there.
There was an incident with NYRA like 2 years back where the will-pays came up & they seemed mathematically impossible, I tried to get the parimutuel dept on the phone before the race went off & tweeted at NYRA & others as well but was unable to bring attention & there didn't seem to be any follow up. I still believe NYRA paid out a fair amount more than they should've, but if they're not interested in saving $ so be it.
It's unfortunate when the public needs to help do the job for the entities here, but it doesn't hurt to have a keen eye at noticing an error & hoping the tracks do right by the customers.
