Code of Maryland Regulations › Title 09 - MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF LABOR › Subtitle 10 - RACING COMMISSION › Chapter 09.10.02 - Harness Racing › Section 09.10.02.46 - Daily Doubles

Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. The pay-off
				may be posted after the pool closes and before the race completing the double
				has been run. In the event of a dead heat in the first race of the daily
				double, posting of the pay-off prices may be deferred until the race completing
				the daily double has been run.
B.
				The daily double is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the
				mutuel betting. All prices on the daily double will be calculated in a separate
				pool. All tickets will be to win only (straight), except as otherwise provided
				in this regulation. A "field" may not be permitted in any race involved in the
				daily double.
C. If no ticket is
				sold combining the two winners, the daily double pool then shall be apportioned
				equally between those having tickets including the winner of the first half and
				those having tickets including the winner of the second half in the same manner
				in which a "place" pool is calculated.
D. If no ticket is sold including the winner
				of the first half, the entire pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets
				which include the winner of the second half.
E. If no ticket is sold including the winner
				of the second half, then the entire pool shall be distributed to holders of
				tickets which include the winner of the first half of the daily
				double.
F. If no ticket is sold
				including the winner of either half, then the pool shall be distributed to
				holders of tickets finishing second in the two races of the daily
				double.
G. If, for any reason, the
				first half of the daily double is cancelled and declared "no race", a full and
				complete refund shall be made of the daily double pool. If, for any reason, the
				second half of the daily double is declared "no race", the daily double pool
				shall be distributed to the holders of the tickets on the winner of the first
				half in the same manner as a straight pool.
H. If, after the first half of the daily
				double has been run and declared "official", a horse is scratched or excused
				from the second half of the daily double, then a consolation pay-off shall be
				made to holders of tickets which combine the winner of the first half and the
				scratched or excused horse. The consolation pay-off shall be calculated as
				follows:
(1) The net daily double pool (gross
				pool less commission) shall be divided by the total number of tickets sold
				combining the winner of the first half;
(2) The quotient thus obtained shall
				constitute the consolation pay-off to be paid to holders of each ticket
				combining the winner of the first half and the scratched or excused horse in
				the second half;
(3) The entire
				consolation pool (number of eligible tickets times the consolation price), plus
				the breakage, shall then be deducted from the net daily double pool;
(4) The remaining pool is the new net pool
				for the daily double.

(3) Selections are to be made by program
				number and not by handicap rating number. Large numbers appearing on the
				quinella ticket are the program numbers of the horse.
(4) All tickets should be retained until the
				result of the quinella has been posted.

Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. The exacta is a
				contract by the purchaser of a ticket combining two horses in a single race,
				selecting the two horses that will subsequently finish first and second in that
				race. Payment of the ticket shall be made only to the purchaser who has
				selected the same order of finish as officially posted.
B. The exacta is not a "parlay" and has no
				connection with or relation to the win, place and show betting and shall be
				calculated as an entirely separate pool.
C. In the event of an entry finishing first
				and second, the net exacta pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets
				combining the entry with the horse finishing third.
D. If a horse is scratched out of an exacta
				race, all exacta tickets combining the scratched horse with any other horse in
				that race shall be refunded and the money refunded shall be deducted from the
				gross pool.
E. If no ticket is sold
				selecting the winner and the second horse to finish one-two, in that order, the
				net pool shall be distributed as a place pool to the holders of tickets
				selecting the winner to finish first and the holders of tickets selecting the
				second horse to finish second.
F.
				If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of an exacta pool to a
				winner as above defined, the association shall make a complete and full refund
				of the exacta pool.
G. If two
				horses finish in a dead heat to win, the net pool shall be distributed as a
				place pool to the holders of tickets on the two winning combinations. For
				example: If 4 and 6 finish in a dead heat to win, holders of tickets on 6 and 4
				as well as holders of tickets 4 and 6 will share in the net pool.
H. If two horses finish in a dead heat to
				place, the net pool shall be distributed as a place pool to the holders of
				tickets on the two winning combinations. For example: If 3 is the winner and 5
				and 7 finish in a dead heat to place, holders of tickets combining 3 and 5, in
				that exact order, and holders of tickets combining 3 and 7, in that exact
				order, will share in the pool.
I.
				If there is a dead heat to win or a dead heat to place and no ticket has been
				sold on one of the winning combinations, the net pool shall be distributed to
				the holders of tickets on the other combination.
J. If there is a dead heat to place and no
				ticket has been sold combining the winner with either one of the two horses
				finishing in the dead heat, the holders of tickets selecting the winner to
				finish first and the holders of tickets selecting either one of the dead heat
				horses to finish second shall share in the net pool. The net pool shall be
				distributed as a place pool the winner shall receive one-half and the horses in
				the dead heat shall divide the remaining half proportionately between
				them.

				triple is a contract by the purchaser of a ticket combining three horses that
				will subsequently finish first, second and third in that race. Payment of the
				ticket shall be made only to the purchaser who has selected the same order of
				finish as officially posted.
B. The
				triple is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the win, place
				and show betting and shall be calculated as an entirely separate
				pool.
C. Repealed.
D. If no ticket is sold on the winning
				combination of a triple pool, the net pool shall be distributed to the holders
				of tickets selecting the win and place finishers in that order. If no ticket is
				sold combining the win and place finish, the net pool shall be distributed to
				the holders of tickets selecting the win and show horses. If no ticket is sold
				combining the win, place and show finishers, the net pool shall be distributed
				to the holders of tickets selecting the winner. If less than three horses
				finish, the payoff shall be made to holders of tickets selecting the finishing
				horses in order, ignoring the balance of the selection.
E. If no ticket is sold that would require
				distribution of the net triple pool to a winner as above defined, the
				association shall make a full refund of the triple pool.
F. In the event of a dead heat, all triple
				tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a horse in a dead heat
				as finishing in either position dead heated, shall be winning tickets. The
				payoff shall be calculated as a place pool by dividing the net triple pool by
				the total purchase price of winning tickets.
G. In the event of a scratch in the triple
				exchanges may not be made. All tickets which include the scratched horse are
				eliminated from further participation in the triple pool and shall be refunded.
				Refunds on key horse wheel tickets may be made after the triple race is
				official. Key horse wheel tickets shall be sold during the entire triple
				wagering period at the posted price used when triple wagering opens.
H. Coupled entries are permitted but fields
				are prohibited in triple races.
H-1. If the horses in a coupled entry finish
				in more than one of the first three positions, one or more of the horses, as
				necessary, finishing directly after the first three horses shall be used to
				complete a winning selection consisting of three different numbers.
I. Triple tickets shall be sold only by the
				licensee through pari-mutuel machines programmed to print all selections on one
				ticket. The design of triple tickets shall be clearly and immediately
				distinguishable from other pari-mutuel tickets. Resale of the tickets from one
				individual to another is prohibited and shall be grounds for
				ejection.
J. Each association shall
				print in heavy type in a conspicuous place in its printed program all the
				provisions of this regulation.

Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. The

				biologic samples from a horse to ensure compliance with applicable medication
				and anti-doping standards set forth by the Association of Racing Commissioners
				International, Inc., as such standards may be amended and updated from time to
				time.
The Commission shall own such samples. This regulation
				  authorizes only the collection and testing of samples and does not
				  independently make impermissible the administration to or presence in any horse
				  of any drug or other substance. A race day prohibition or restriction of a
				  substance by the Commission's regulations is not applicable to an
				  out-of-competition test, unless there is an attempt to race the horse in a
				  manner that violates such regulations.
B. Horses Eligible for Testing.
(1) Any horse that has been engaging in
				activities related to competing in horse racing in the State may be tested.
				This includes, without limitation, any horses that are training outside the
				State to participate in racing in the State, and all horses that are training
				in the State, but excludes weanlings, yearlings, and horses no longer engaged
				in horse racing (e.g., retired broodmares).
(2) A horse is presumed eligible for
				out-of-competition testing if:
(a) It is on
				the grounds at a racetrack or training center under the jurisdiction of the
				Commission;
(b) It is under the
				care or control of a trainer licensed by the Commission;
(c) It is owned by an owner licensed by the
				Commission;
(d) It is entered or
				nominated to race at a premises licensed by the Commission;
(e) It has raced within the previous 12
				months at a premises licensed by the Commission; or
(f) It is nominated to a program based on
				racing in the State.
(3)
				The presumptions set forth in this regulation are conclusive in the absence of
				evidence that a horse is not engaged in activities related to competing in
				horse racing in the State.
