Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. No twin
				trifecta wagering shall be conducted without permission of the commission. The
				races in which the twin trifecta type pari-mutuel wagering will be permitted
				shall only be those designated by the commission and a separate pool shall be
				established therefor.
B. The twin
				trifecta is a form of pari-mutuel wagering in which the bettor selects the
				three horses that will finish first, second and third in each of two designated
				races in the exact order as officially posted.
C. Twin trifecta wagers will be sold at all
				windows unless the association chooses to use designated windows for the twin
				trifecta and exchange.
D. Each
				bettor purchasing twin trifecta tickets shall designate his three selections as
				the first three horses to finish in that order in the first race of the two
				designated races.
E. After wagering
				closes for the first half of the twin trifecta, the commissions will be
				deducted from the pool in accordance with laws of the state. The remaining pool
				will then be divided into two separate pools of 70 percent and 30
				percent.
F. The monies in the 30
				percent portion of the divided pool shall be distributed to the holders of the
				twin trifecta tickets selecting the first three horses in order, on the first
				designated twin trifecta race, in accordance with established pari-mutuel
				practice.
G. The 70 percent portion
				of the divided pool shall be placed in a separate pool to be distributed to the
				holders of the second half twin trifecta tickets selecting the first three
				horses in order, on the second designated twin trifecta race, in accordance
				with established pari-mutuel practice.
H. In the first half of the twin trifecta
				only, if no ticket is sold on a winning combination of a trifecta pool, the net
				pool shall then be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the first
				place and second place horses. If no ticket is sold as abovementioned, the net
				pool shall then be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the first
				and third place horses. If no ticket is sold as abovementioned, the net pool
				shall then be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the first place
				horse. If no ticket is sold as abovementioned, the net pool shall then be
				distributed to holders of tickets selecting the second and third place horses.
				If no ticket is selected as abovementioned, all twin trifecta tickets shall be
				refunded.
I. After the official
				declaration of the first three horses to finish in the first race of the twin
				trifecta, each bettor holding a ticket combining the first three horses in the
				exact order of finish must, prior to the running of the second twin trifecta
				race, exchange such winning tickets for both the monetary value established by
				the mutuel department and a twin trifecta exchange ticket at designated windows
				and at such time shall select the first three horses to finish in the second
				race of the twin trifecta in the exact order of finish as officially posted. No
				further money shall be required of the holder of winning tickets in order to
				make the exchange. When the official finish of the first twin trifecta race
				requires application of Subsection H to determine the winning combination, no
				exchange tickets shall be issued on the second twin trifecta race, and the
				second race pool shall be treated in accordance with Subsection N.
J. No twin trifecta exchange ticket upon the
				second race shall be issued except upon the surrender of the twin trifecta
				ticket from the first race as described in these rules. Designated windows, for
				the purpose of cashing and exchanging winning tickets, shall be open for the
				purpose of making the exchange as described only after the first race has been
				declared official and such windows shall close at the start of the second race
				of the twin trifecta races.
K. If a
				winning twin trifecta ticket from the first race is not presented for cashing
				and exchange within the time provided, the bettor may still collect the
				monetary value of the ticket but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the
				second race of the twin trifecta pool.
L. If a horse is scratched in the first race
				of the twin trifecta races, all twin trifecta tickets on the scratched horse
				will be refunded. If a horse is scratched in the second race of the twin
				trifecta races, public address announcements will be made and reasonable time
				will be given for the exchange of tickets on the scratched horse. For the
				second race of the twin trifecta only, all horses will be considered official
				starters once the starting gate has opened.
M. In the event of a dead heat(s) in either
				the first or second race of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta tickets
				selecting the correct order of finish, counting a horse in a dead heat as
				finishing in any position dead heated, shall be winning tickets.
N. In the event there are no twin trifecta
				tickets issued accurately selecting the officially declared first three
				finishers of the second twin trifecta race in exact order, such second race
				pool as divided earlier shall be held for the next consecutive day or night and
				combined with that programs' second race twin trifecta pool. Distribution of
				this special cumulative second race twin trifecta pool will be made only upon
				the accurate selection, in exact order, of the first three officially declared
				finishers of the second twin trifecta race.
O. However, on the final program of any
				official race meeting, the entire accumulated second race twin trifecta pool
				must be distributed. In the event, on the final racing program, no second half
				twin trifecta ticket accurately selects the officially declared first three
				finishers in exact order, then all second half twin trifecta tickets on that
				specific race shall be declared winners and the pool shall be distributed
				equally among them.
P. If for any
				reason, the second half of the twin trifecta is canceled, not declared
				"official" or less than three horses finish the race, the winning ticket
				holders on the first half will be entitled to proportionate distribution of the
				remaining amount of the current program's divided pool. The cumulative pool
				from previous programs shall not be distributed in this case and will be
				carried over to the next scheduled racing program.
Q. Sales of the twin trifecta tickets other
				than from pari-mutuel machines shall be deemed illegal and
				prohibited.
R. The twin trifecta
				pool shall be held entirely separate from all other pools, and is no part of a
				daily double, quinella, (regular) trifecta, super six or any other wagering
				pool.
