Payout or Lack of One after M1 cancellation

[Harness Stats]

The late pick 5 had already started with 2 legs done.  But they refunded the entire pool even though some people had already lost their bet when the 45 to 1 horse won.  What about those who were still alive?  Why not pay out 5 10 all all all instead of the refund.  Yeah I was alive.  Thank god I had just hit the pick 4 for a small piece but I was salivating as I was pretty sure I was going to win the pick 5 too as long as Beach Rules won.  WTF ?  Why reward people who lost their bet by giving back their money and penalize people who had that longshot and were still alive?

Brutal. They paid the pick 3 out starting in race 9 after 1 leg. Thought i had a great shot 3x2x4 to end the pick 5. Only thing i cashed was 5 to win on Andy. Such a buzz kill. In Calfornia we pay out consolations if 2 legs are run during a pick 4 sequence. Thought i was getting a consolation for sure but I was wrong.

I inquired about this situation before when it happened a 10-1 shot won 1st leg then races were cancelled and mutuels said more than 40% or 3 legs have to be completed or its a complete refund.
