				  wagering shall be conducted without permission of the Commission. The only
				  races in which Trifecta type pari-mutuel wagering shall be permitted are those
				  races designated by the Commission and a separate pool shall be established
				  therefor.
(b) The Trifecta is a
				  form of pari-mutuel wagering in a single race in which the bettor selects a
				  ticket combining in exact order of finish, as officially posted, the first,
				  second and third winners.
(c) The
				  Trifecta is not a parlay and, except as here and after set forth in this
				  section, has no connection with or relation to the Win, Place and Show betting
				  and will be calculated from an entirely separate pool.
(d) Trifecta tickets shall not be sold in
				  less than $1.00 denominations.
(e)
				  If no ticket is sold on the winning combination of a Trifecta Pool, the net
				  pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting either the Win
				  and Place finishers, the Win and Show finishers or the Place and Show finishers
				  in the exact order as officially posted.
(f) If no ticket is sold that would require
				  distribution of the Trifecta Pool to a winner as above defined, all tickets
				  containing the winner or Place or Show finishers will be aggregated and divided
				  into the net pool and be paid the same payoff price.
(g) If there is a dead heat for first place,
				  the winning combination shall include the first two horses as finishing in
				  either position, and the horse finishing third. If there is a dead heat to
				  Place, the winning combination shall be the horse finishing first and the two
				  horses finishing in a dead heat for Place, as finishing in either position. If
				  there is a dead heat for Show, the winning combination shall be the horse
				  finishing first, the horse finishing second, and the two horses finishing in a
				  dead heat for Show, as finishing in either position. In all of the instances
				  mentioned in subsections (a)-(f), the net pool shall be calculated and
				  distributed in the same manner as a Place Pool.
(h) If less than three horses finish, a
				  payoff shall be made on tickets selecting the actual finishing horses in order,
				  ignoring the balance of the selection.
(i) If a horse is scratched or declared a
				  nonstarter, no further Trifecta shall be issued designating that horse. All
				  tickets previously issued designating that horse shall be refunded and the
				  total amount of such refund deducted from the gross pool.
(j) Coupled entries and fields are prohibited
				  in Trifecta races.
