Don't play the P4, but was confused about how its written out when I saw it. How is it meant to be read? (This is the late P4 at Aqueduct today)

To expand on what cecil said

If a horse on your ticket was scratched, most places substitute the scratch with the post time favorite for that race. Therefore, if the favorite wins that race you get the W for that leg.
