Default Wonder what they would do if Apple B had a late scratch

God forbid, but what would Oaklawn do with the purse if one of the top ladies had a problem and had to scratch late? Maybe Steve can pose the question. I hope the owners,trainers and jocks don't get screwed.

I'm sure there's an "in the gate" provision for the Queens.

The race, which was increased to a total purse of $5,000,000 provided both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta start, will now be held Friday, April 9, the day before the Grade I $1,000,000 Arkansas Derby, Oaklawn’s traditional closing day.

I would imagine that it would revert back to $500,000.
