Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) No exacta
				wagering shall be conducted without permission of the New Jersey Racing
				Commission. The races in which exacta type parimutuel wagering will be
				permitted shall be only those designated by the Commission and separate pools
				shall be established therefor.
(b)
				In order to win an exacta, it is necessary for the purchaser of an exacta
				ticket to select the winning horses and the horse finishing second in the race
				in which exacta type wagering is permitted. If either of the selections made by
				the purchaser fails to finish in the position designated by the purchaser when
				purchasing the exacta ticket then the contract is void except as hereinafter
				provided.
(c) Should there be a
				dead heat for first place in an exacta race, holders of tickets on those two
				horses involved and only those two horses, will share in the exacta pay-off.
				Should there be a dead heat to place, both horses involved shall share in the
				pool with the winner of the exacta race.
(d) If no ticket is sold combining the two
				winners of the exacta, the pool shall then be apportioned equally between those
				having tickets including the winner of the race and those having tickets
				including the horse finishing second in the race in the same manner in which a
				place pool is calculated.
(e) In
				the event any horse or horses in the exacta should be excused by the racing
				official after the horses shall have left the paddock for the post, or after
				the betting on the exacta has been closed, or should any horse or horses in the
				exacta be prevented from racing because of failure of the arm or arms of the
				starting gate to open, the money wagered on any horse or horses so excused or
				prevented from racing shall be deducted from the exacta pool and refunded to
				the purchaser or purchasers of tickets on the horse or horses so excused from
				racing.
(f) Entries shall be
				allowed in an exacta race. "Fields" are permitted in an exacta race. If two or
				more horses in an exacta race are listed as "field" on the same totalisator
				ticket, there shall be no refunds, unless all the horses so listed are excused
				before off-time.
(g) In exacta
				races with a coupled entry or mutuel field, the numbers of the first two horses
				in order of finish as made official shall constitute the winning exacta
				combination except that where two or more of these horses are part of the same
				coupled entry or mutuel field, only the best finishing position attained by the
				coupled entry or mutuel field shall be considered for exacta payoff purposes
				and the next best finishing horse or horses, not part of the same coupled entry
				or mutuel field, shall be determined to comprise the winning exacta
				combination. Should any horse not part of any coupled entry or mutuel field
				finish in a dead heat for second place with a horse that is part of the same
				coupled entry or mutuel field as the first-place finishing horse, the winning
				exacta combination shall consist of the first-place coupled entry or mutual
				field with said dead heated horse.
