The sum is 2 if two place, 3 if three place, 4 if four place (as happens in big fields of over 20).
To derive place probabilities is not as simple as doubling the win probability. It is "first or second" but not first x 2. But that has to do with the way a handicapping algorithm is constructed.
Here we have a logistics problem.
