I will leave it to Bill V to decide if he thinks the Contest Manager should be providing those services (namely helping you make conditional wagers).

What you describe above is a pretty complex conditional wager (i.e. make a bet on a horse depending on odds of a different horse), and I'm not sure even AmWest could accommodate that. Perhaps simpler conditionals might be OK, e.g. if a horse goes off above or below stated odds reported on the Result Chart, the bet stands, otherwise it is cancelled. You could state that if one of 2 horses' bets are cancelled, all bets are cancelled, OR - the remaining horse gets the cancelled horse's bets (just like if it was scratched).

Again, I'll let Bill decide on this one - it could get complex!
