				holders of superfecta sweepstakes tickets who correctly select the first four
				official finishers in the exact order; or if no ticket is sold as above
				described, to those who correctly select the first three finishers in exact
				order; or, if no ticket is sold as above described, to those who correctly
				selected the first two finishers in exact order; or, if no ticket is sold as
				above described, to those who correctly selected the winning horse to finish
				first. In the event no ticket has been sold correctly selecting the winning

				equally to all closing day superfecta sweepstakes ticket holders.
