Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The
				Daily Double is a separate pari-mutuel pool established on two (2) races. The
				pool consists of amounts wagered on the selection of the winning horse of both
				races. It is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to other pools
				conducted by the association or to rules governing the distribution of other
				pools.
(b) A valid Daily Double
				ticket shall be evidence of a binding contract between the holder of the ticket
				and the association and shall constitute an acceptance of Daily Double
				provisions and rules contained in this Article.
(c) The association shall distribute the net
				pool to holders of valid tickets that correctly selected the winner of both
				races. If no ticket selected the winner of both races, the net pool shall be
				distributed as a place pool among tickets that included the winner of the first
				race and tickets that included the winner of the second race.
(d) If no ticket included the winner of the
				first race the net pool shall be distributed equally among tickets that
				included the winner of the second race; and, if no ticket included the winner
				of the second race the net pool shall be distributed equally among tickets that
				included the winner of the first race.
(e) If no ticket included the winner of
				either race, the net pool shall be distributed equally among tickets selecting
				the second place finishers of both races.
(f) The association shall refund the entire
				pool if no ticket requires a payout or if the first race is
				cancelled.
(g) If the second race
				is cancelled after the first race has been completed, the net pool shall be
				distributed as a single price pool among tickets selecting the winner of the
				first race.
(h) Before the first
				race is run, any money wagered on a horse in either race that is scratched,
				excused by the stewards, prevented from racing or is designated to run for
				purse only in accordance with Rule 1974 of this article shall be deducted from
				the pool and refunded.
(i) If,
				after the first rare is completed, any horse is scratched, excused by the
				stewards or prevented from racing because of the failure of the stall doors of
				the starting gate to open in the second race, or designated to run in the
				second race for purse only in accordance with Rule 1974 of this article, all
				tickets including such horse(s) shall be deducted from the pool, and the
				pool(s), thus formed shall be distributed as a straight pool(s) among tickets
				combining the winner of the first race with such horse(s).
(j) If a dead heat occurs in either race the
				net pool is figured as a place pool. Example: Number eight (8) and five (5)
				dead heat in the first race, and number three (3) wins the second race, the
				pool would be divided and apportioned to tickets bearing eight (8) and (3), and
				five (5) and three (3).
