Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) Two daily
				doubles will be permitted during a single race day at tracks licensed by the
				board.
(2) If no ticket is sold
				combining the two winners of the daily double, the pool shall be apportioned
				equally between those having tickets including the winner in the first race of
				the daily double and those having tickets including the winner of the last race
				of the daily double in the same manner in which place pool is calculated and
				distributed.
(3) If no ticket is
				sold including the winner of the first race of the daily double then the entire
				pool will be paid to the holders of tickets which include the winner of the
				last race of the daily double.
(4)
				Likewise, if no ticket is sold including the winner of the last race of the
				daily double, the entire pool will be paid to the holders of the first race of
				the daily double.
(5) If no ticket
				is sold including a winner of either race of the daily double then the pool
				shall be paid to the holders of tickets which include the horses finishing
				second in the two races of the daily double.
(6) If no ticket is sold that would require
				distribution of the daily double pool to a winner under (2), (3), (4), and (5),
				the race meet shall make a complete and full refund of the daily double
				pool.
(7) If for any reason the
				first race of a daily double is cancelled and declared off, full and complete
				refund will be made of the daily double pool.
(8) If for any reason, the second race of a
				daily double is cancelled, or declared off, the whole of the daily double pool
				shall be distributed as a win pool to the holders of daily double tickets, upon
				the winner of the first half of the daily double. If no daily double ticket has
				been sold upon the winner of the first half of such daily double the total pool
				shall be distributed as a win pool to the holders of the daily double tickets
				upon the horse finishing second in the first half of such daily
				double.
(9) There shall be a refund
				of daily double wagers in the event of a horse being scratched before the
				betting on the daily double has closed. (This refund to apply only to wagers on
				the horse scratched.)
(10) In the
				event a horse is excused in the second half of the daily double, after the
				first race is official, all money wagered on the scratched horse in the second
				half of the daily double shall be deducted from the daily double pool. Using
				this money, so deducted, as a win pool, a special or consolation prize shall be
				paid to all ticket holders, combining the scratched horses with the winner of
				the first race of the daily double.
(11) Before the running of the race
				comprising the last half of the daily double there shall be posted in a
				prominent place, easily visible from the grand stand, club house and bleachers,
				the pay-off of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half of
				the daily double.
(12) In case of a
				dead heat for winner in the first half of the daily double, the pay-off of the
				daily double need not be posted until after the running of the second half of
				the daily double, owing to the complicated calculations involved. However,
				announcement of this fact must be made over the loudspeaker and notice to this
				effect be posted on the board at conclusion of the first half of the daily
				double.
(13) If a dead heat should
				result in either the first or second race of the daily double, the total pool
				is figured as a place pool.
(14)
				Sale of daily double tickets shall close not later than "off-time" of the first
				race of the daily double.
(15) The
				daily double is not a "parlay" and has no connection with or relation to the
				pool shown on the totalizator board. In any race, the win, place, show and
				daily double pools are treated separately and calculated independently of each
				other.
