Good Question Noel.

What would happen in this scenario would be that a place dividend of $1.00 would be declared for the runner carrying 25 units since 1/3 of the 67 unit pool is 22.33 which would result in a payout of less than $1. That would then give a pool of 42 units (instead of 44.66)to be split among the other 2 placegetters which would mean that the dividends on the other runners would become slightly less than what you have listed(2.33,2.63,3.00, etc). This is on the assumption that no commission is taken out.
