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 B - Harness Racing › Part 4122 - PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING › Section 4122.42 - 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 rule shall be prominently displayed
					 throughout the betting area of each track conducting the quinella and printed
					 copies of this rule 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.
