(a)
Rules governing

			 which have the quinella pool, the rules of this section will govern the system
			 used.

			 Quinella wagering shall be permitted only in accordance with section
			 12-574-B16
			 of these regulations.
(c)

			 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 sales 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. 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
.
			 Coupled entries are prohibited in quinella races.
(k)
Scratched or excused horses
.
			 Should any horse entered in a quinella race be scratched or excused by the
			 judges after wagering has commenced, 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 horses 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)

			 quinella tickets other than through pari-mutuel machines shall be deemed
			 illegal and is prohibited.
