Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
Rules
			 governing
. At tracks which have the daily double pool, the rules of this
			 section will govern the system used.
(b)
Permitted
. Daily double
			 wagering is permitted during any single racing program. An association may not
			 hold more than one daily double on a single racing program unless express
			 written consent shall be given thereto by the commission upon written
			 application therefor.
(c)
Rules printed in program
. The rules for daily double shall be
			 printed in the daily racing programs sold to the public within the premises of
			 racing associations.
(d)
No
			 exchange of tickets
. There positively shall be no exchange of tickets
			 after the purchaser thereof has left the sales window.
(e)
Not a parlay
. The daily
			 double is not a "parlay" and has no connection with or relation to any other
			 pool, and is no part of the win, place and show pools, quinella, exacts,
			 trifecta, superfecta, or other wagering pool. All tickets will be calculated in
			 an entirely separate pool.
(f)
Prerequisites
. In order to win a daily double, it is necessary for
			 the purchaser of a daily double ticket to select the winners of each of the two
			 (2) races specified for the daily double. If either of his selections fails to
			 win, he receives no payment, except as hereinafter provided.
(g)
Hurdle races, steeplechase not
			 included
. No hurdle race or steeplechase shall be included in the races
			 comprising the daily double unless express written consent shall be given
			 thereto by the commission upon written application therefor.
(h)
Selected by numbers
.
			 Selections are to be made of one horse for each of two (2) races in the daily
			 double by program number, and not necessarily by post position number. Large
			 numbers appearing on the tickets are program numbers of the horses.
(i)
Posting the payoff
. The
			 possible payoff of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half
			 of the daily double shall be posted in a prominent place easily visible from
			 the grandstand club house and bleachers after the result of the first race is
			 declared "official" and before second race is run, except in the event of a
			 dead heat in the first race, when the posting of the payoff may be deferred
			 until the second race has been run. However, announcement of this fact must be
			 made over the loud speaker and notice to this effect be posted on the board at
			 the conclusion of the first half of the daily double.
(j)
Calculation, distribution of
			 pools
. The daily double pool shall be calculated and distributed as
			 follows: the net pool divided by the amount wagered on the winning combinations
			 determines the payoff per dollar bet.
(k)
Failure to select a winner and race
			 cancellations
.
(1) If no daily double
			 ticket is sold designating the winner of the first race, or the first race is
			 cancelled or declared "no race," the daily double shall be declared off and the
			 gross pool refunded.
(2) If no
			 daily double ticket is sold combining the winners of the first and second
			 races, or the second race is cancelled or declared "no race," the net pool
			 shall be distributed to holders of tickets designating the winner of the first
			 race, as in a win pool and the daily double shall terminate.
