New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 9 - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT › Subtitle T - New York State Gaming Commission › Chapter I - Division of Horse Racing and Pari-Mutuel Wagering › Subchapter C - State Quarter Horse Racing Commission › Part 4217 - The Daily Double And Other Pools › The Quinella › Section 4217.10 - Quinella

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The quinella is
						a form of pari-mutuel wagering. Each bettor selects two horses to place first
						and second in the designated quinella race, the order of placing of the said
						two horses being immaterial. The quinella is not a parlay and this pool shall
						be held entirely separate from all other pools, and is in no way a part of the
						daily double, exacta, triple, superfecta, straight, place or show
						pools.
(b) [Reserved]
(c) Races in which quinella pools are to be
						conducted shall be approved by the commission and shall be clearly designated
						in the racing program.
(d) The
						design of quinella tickets shall be clearly and immediately distinguishable
						from other pari-mutuel tickets.
(e)
						Scratch. If a horse is scratched or declared a nonstarter no further tickets
						may be issued designating such horse and all tickets previously issued
						designating such horse shall be refunded and the money deducted from the gross
						pool.
(f) Failure to select a
						winning combination. If no ticket is sold on a winning combination in a
						quinella pool, the net pool shall be apportioned among those holding tickets
						designating the horse placing first with any other horse and those holding
						tickets designating the horse placing second with any other horse, in the same
						manner in which a place pool is calculated.
(g) Dead heat. In case of a dead heat between
						two horses for the first place, that combination shall be the winner of the
						quinella pool. In cases of a dead heat for first place involving more than two
						horses, the net pool shall be calculated and distributed to holders of tickets
						combining any two dead-heated horses as in a win pool dead heat.
(h) In case of a dead heat between two horses
						for second place, the pool shall be figured as a "place pool," the holders of
						tickets combining the winning horse and one of the two horses placing second
						participating in the payoff.
(i) In
						case of a dead heat for second place and no tickets are sold on one of the two
						winning combinations, the entire net pool shall be calculated as a win pool and
						distributed to those holding tickets on the other winning
						combination.
(j) If no tickets
						combine the winning horse with either of the place horses in the dead heat the
						pool shall be apportioned among those holding tickets designating the first
						place horse and any other horse, and those holding tickets designating a second
						place horse with any other horse, as in a place pool in which a dead heat for
						place occurs.
(k) If no ticket is
						sold that would require distribution of a quinella pool to a winner as defined
						in this section, the track shall make a complete and full refund of the
						quinella pool.
(l) In the event
						fewer than four betting interests start, the quinella pool shall be declared
						off and the gross pool refunded.
(m) This section shall be prominently
						displayed throughout the betting area of each track conducting the quinella and
						printed copies of this section shall be distributed by the track to patrons
						upon request.
(n) Winning
						combination. The numbers of the first two horses as made official shall be the
						winning combination regardless of their respective order of finish, except that
						where more than one of such horses is part of a coupled entry or field with
						another of such horses, only the one best finisher of such horses shall be
						counted in the winning combination for payoff, and the horse or horses not in
						such coupled entry or field finishing the same, or, if applicable, next
						finishing, shall be the other part of the winning quinella combination. For
						example, if two horses in a coupled entry (or field):
(1) finish first and second, or in a dead
						heat for first, the winning combination will be the number of such entry or
						field and the number of the third finishing horse not part of such entry or
						field;
(2) finish first and in a
						dead heat for second, the winning combination will be the number of such entry
						or field and the number of the other horse dead-heated for second who is not
						part of such coupled entry or field;
(3) finish in a three-horse dead heat for win
						with another horse not part of such entry or field, the winning combination
						will be the number of such entry and the number of the horse not part of such
						entry.
