tallying total points for each horse judged. All horses exhibited in a
class will be placed. (i.e. if 20 horses are exhibited, all 20 horses will
be placed.)
B. In the event
of a tie, the tying horses will be recognized for that position with the
purse of that position added and divided between the horses tied.
Example: If three
horses tie for the top position, the horses will be recognized as follows:

4th place
5th place, etc.

three places will be added together and divided equally between the top
three horses.
