243. Unless the conditions for participation in a special race provide otherwise, where a special race is cancelled or declared finished, the amount of the nomination fees and any sustaining and starting fees not awarded are equally divided among the owners of the horses that would have started in the race that was cancelled or in the cancelled heats of a race that was declared finished.
Where a stake or futurity race is cancelled under section 111, the nomination and sustaining fees are equally divided among the owners of the horses still in nomination after the last payment of sustaining fees, if any.
The amounts thus divided are not compiled in the winnings of those horses.
