If the horse scratches prior to the start of the race, the bettor's wager is refunded.
If I understand your question correctly, if only three horses race, would you win no matter what? You would only win if you bet on the winning horse to "win." When you bet on a horse race, you also bet on what position that horse finishes. You may bet on a horse to "win, place, or show" or all three (each bet costs more money). If the horse comes in first, second, or third, and you bet all three, you would still get a payout. There are numerous combinations to wagering, Exactas, Trifectas, etc. and even in a three horse race, if you didn't bet correctly, or on the right horse, you could still lose.
there has to be 16 or more runners and the race has to be a handicapp.
With regards to horse racing, 'lay betting' means to place a bet on a horse to lose, rather than to win. This, in many cases, would increase the odds of winning. However, care must be taken because if the horse in question wins, you have to pay out.

A trifecta bet is a type of bet that is made in horsraces. One bets which horse will become first, second, and third place in the race in their opinions.
You get your money back for the horse or horses that are scratched from the race. if you only bet 3 horses in your trifecta, then you get the entire amount back.
In the US, typically no. In the UK I believe that this type of bet is offered.
When you cashed your ticket you would receive $160 -- $140 in winnings along with your original $20 bet.
In horse racing 'Stone Ginger' means a sure bet or certainty. This is due to a racing stallion in New Zealand that won every race he entered.
Yes, you can place bets until the horses are running.
