Scratches should all get handled the same way. If someone gets a pick 3 with a horse they didn't like (as would be the case if we go the 'scratch money goes to the favorite' route) it sure doesn't indicate any skill with handicapping.
How about this: You can specify in your play where you want 'scratched' money to go. This can apply in any bet I can think of. If you don't do specify, your remaining bets apply, and the money stays in your account (you don't 'lose' it). No 'money goes to favorite'. You have to make it happen, you can't back in.
In any event, just bet the thousand. I'll be posting tmw night. HP
