Pennsylvania Code › Title 7 - AGRICULTURE › Part VIII - State Horse Racing Commission › Subpart C - Pari-Mutuel Wagering › Chapter 193 - PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING AND TICKETS-TEMPORARY REGULATIONS › Section 193.5 - Perfecta (Exacta)

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) No
				  Perfecta (Exacta) wagering shall be conducted without permission of the
				  Commission. The races in which Perfecta (Exacta) type pari-mutuel wagering will
				  be permitted shall only be those designated by the Commission and separate
				  pools shall be established therefor.
(b) To win a Perfecta (Exacta), it is
				  necessary for the purchaser of a Perfecta (Exacta) ticket to select in order
				  the horse declared the winner and the horse declared to have placed in the race
				  in which Perfecta (Exacta) type wagering is permitted. If either of the
				  selections made by the purchaser fails to be declared to have finished in the
				  position designated by the purchaser when purchasing the Perfecta (Exacta)
				  ticket, then the contract is void except as hereinafter provided.
(c) Should there be a dead heat to win in a
				  Perfecta (Exacta) race, holders of tickets combining those two horses in either
				  order will share in the Perfecta (Exacta) payoff. Should there be a dead heat
				  for place, holders of tickets combining the horse declared the winner with
				  either of the horses declared to have finished in the dead heat for place shall
				  share in the Perfecta (Exacta) payoff. In both of the aforementioned instances,
				  the net pool shall be distributed and calculated in the same manner as a Place
				  Pool.
(d) As a profit split to
				  those whose combination included either the first-place betting interest to
				  finish first or the second-place betting interest to finish second, but if
				  there are no wagers on one of those two finishers, then
(1) As a single price pool to those whose
				  combination included the one covered betting interest to finish first or second
				  in the correct sequence, but if there are no wagers, then
(i) The entire pool shall be refunded on
				  Exacta wagers for that contest.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) No Quiniela
				  wagering shall be conducted without prior permission of the Commission. The
				  races in which Quiniela-type pari-mutuel wagering will be permitted shall only
				  be those designated by the Commission and separate pools shall be established
				  therefor.
(b) The principle of a
				  Quiniela is, in effect, a contract by the purchaser of a Quiniela ticket to
				  select the first two horses to finish in a race. The order in which the horses
				  finish is immaterial. The Quiniela is not a "parlay" and has no connection with
				  or relation to win, place or show betting, and will be calculated in an
				  entirely separate pool.
(c) In
				  cases of a dead heat between the two horses for first place, the combination
				  shall be the winner of the Quiniela pool.
(d) 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 the two horses finishing second
				  participating in the payoff.
(e) In
				  case of a dead heat for second place, and no ticket is 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 winning combination.
(f) If no ticket is sold on the winning
				  combination of a Quiniela pool, the net pool shall be apportioned equally
				  between those having tickets including the horse finishing first and those
				  having tickets including the horse finishing second, in the same manner in
				  which a place pool is calculated.
(g) If no ticket is sold that would require
				  distribution of a Quiniela pool to a winner as above defined, the licensee
				  shall make a complete and full refund of the Quiniela pool.
(h) In case of a scratch in a Quiniela race,
				  the patron holding a ticket on the scratched horse will receive a
				  refund.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 7 - AGRICULTURE › Part VIII - State Horse Racing Commission › Subpart C - Pari-Mutuel Wagering › Chapter 193 - PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING AND TICKETS-TEMPORARY REGULATIONS › Section 193.7 - Trifecta

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) No trifecta
				  wagering may be conducted without permission of the Commission. The only races
				  in which "trifecta" type pari-mutuel wagering is permitted, are those races
				  designated by the Commission and a separate pool is 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 finishing order, as officially posted the first,
				  second and third place winner.
(c)
				  The trifecta is not a parlay and except as set forth in this section, has no
				  connection with or relation to the win, place and show betting and will be
				  calculated as an entirely separate pool.
(d) Trifecta tickets shall be sold in at
				  least $2 denominations or in denominations as from time to time are approved by
				  the Commission.
(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 the win and place finishers in
				  that order. If no ticket is sold combining the win and place finish, the net
				  pool will be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the winner. If
				  less than three horses finish, the payoff will be made to holders of tickets
				  selecting the finishing horses in order, ignoring the balance of the
				  selection.
(f) If no ticket is sold
				  that would require distribution of the trifecta pool to a winner defined in
				  this section, the licensee shall make a complete and full refund of the
				  Trifecta Pool.
(g) In the event of
				  a dead heat or dead heats, all trifecta 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 will be calculated as a place pool
				  by dividing the net trifecta pool by the total purchase price of winning
				  tickets.
(h) In the event of a
				  scratch in the trifecta no exchanges will be made. All tickets which include
				  the scratched horse are eliminated from further participation in the trifecta
				  pool and will be refunded.
(i)
				  Coupled entries and fields are allowed in trifecta races as set forth in the
				  Commission's regulations.
(j)
				  Trifecta tickets shall be sold only by the licensed racing entity or other
				  approved entity. Resale of these tickets from one individual to another is
				  prohibited and shall be grounds for ejection.
(k) Each licensed racing entity shall print
				  in heavy type in a conspicuous place in its daily printed program all the
				  provisions of this section and post printed copies of this section about the
				  track in places as it deems available.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) Any ruling of
				  the Judges or Stewards or the Commission with regard to the award of purse
				  money made after the sign "official" has been purposely displayed shall have no
				  bearing on the pari-mutuel payoff.
(b) In all cases when a horse has been
				  excused by a racing official after wagering has started, but before the horses
				  shall have actually started, all money wagered on the horse so excused shall be
				  deducted from the pool and refunded.
(c) If two or more horses in a race are
				  coupled on the same pari-mutuel ticket, there shall be no refunds unless all of
				  the horses so coupled are excused before the actual start.
(d) In the case of a race being declared off
				  or postponed to another day by the Stewards after the wagering has begun, all
				  money wagered in that race shall be refunded.
