As filed (before scratches): 63 settled · 24 winners · $126 win bets → $134.38 · ROI +6.7%

3 scratched pick(s) settled on the filed backup — the pick that would have been filed had the scratches been known — and count in the scorecard.

Scenario split — most likely scenario: 48 settled · 18 winners · ROI -3.8%; second scenario: 8 settled · 2 winners · ROI -10.6%. Winner was one of the pair in 20 of 48 races.

The 24 winners paid an average of $5.60 on a $2 win ticket.

Across the board: $2 win-place-show on every pick — $328 → $312.50 · ROI -4.7%. (4 pool stake(s) refunded — the chart printed no price for that pool.)
