Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
Rules governing
. At tracks
			 which have the quinella pool, the rules of this section will govern the system
			 used.
(b)
Permitted
.
			 Quinella wagering shall be permitted only in accordance with section
			 12-574-A16
			 of these regulations.
(c)
Rules printed in program
. The rules for quinella shall be printed
			 in the daily racing programs sold to the public within the premises of racing
			 associations.
(d)
Definition
. The quinella is a contract by the purchaser of a
			 ticket combining two (2) horses in a single race, selecting the first two
			 finishers as officially posted in either order such as 1-2 or 2-1. All quinella
			 tickets will be for the win and place combination only.
(e)
No exchange of tickets
.
			 There positively shall be no exchange of tickets after the purchaser thereof
			 has left the seller's window.
(f)
Not a parlay
. The quinella 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, daily double, exacta, trifecta, superfecta, or other wagering pool. All
			 tickets will be calculated in an entirely separate pool.
(g)
Selected by numbers
.
			 Selections are to be made by program numbers and not necessarily by post
			 position numbers. Large numbers appearing on the tickets are program numbers of
			 the horses.
(h)
Winning
			 quinella combination
. The winning quinella combination shall be the
			 first two horses to finish the race. The order in which the horses finish is
			 immaterial.
(i)
Calculation
			 and distribution of pools
. The quinella 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, including profit and
			 wager.
(j)
Entries,
			 fields
. Coupled entries and fields are prohibited in quinella
			 races.
(k)
Scratched or
			 excused horses
. Should any horse entered in a quinella race be scratched
			 or excused by the stewards after wagering has commenced or should any horse be
			 prevented from racing because of the failure of the stall doors or the starting
			 gate to open, all tickets including such horse shall be deducted from the
			 quinella pool and money refunded to the purchasers of tickets on the horse so
			 excused or prevented from racing, upon surrender of said tickets.
(l)
Determination of winners
. In
			 the event no ticket is sold on the combination of the first two horses in the
			 official placing, then the next horse or horses, in case of dead heats, in the
			 order of official placing shall be included in the winning combination. In the
			 event of a dead heat for second position and no ticket is sold on one of the
			 horses involved, in the dead heat combined with the winner, the entire pool
			 shall be paid to holders of tickets which combine the winner with the other
			 horse in the dead heat.
(m)
Refund
. If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of
			 the net quinella pool to winners as above defined, the association shall make a
			 complete and full refund of the quinella pool upon surrender of the quinella
			 tickets so purchased.
(n)
Dead heats
. In the event of a dead heat for first position, the
			 pool shall be paid to holders of tickets which combine the two horses involved
			 in the dead heat. In the event of a dead heat for second position, two winning
			 combinations result and the pool shall be divided equally between the holders
			 of tickets which combine the winner with the horses involved in the dead heat
			 for second position. In like manner, in the event of a triple dead heat for
			 second position, three winning combinations would result. In the event of a
			 triple dead heat for first position, three winning combinations would
			 result.
(o)
Permitted
			 sales
. Sale of quinella tickets other than through pari-mutuel machines
			 shall be deemed illegal and is prohibited.
(p)
Hold tickets
. Tickets should
			 be retained until the results have been declared official.

			 Quinella tickets shall be sold only in denominations approved by the
			 commission.
