Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) No Daily
				  Double shall be conducted without permission of the Commission. There shall be
				  no exchange of Daily Double tickets after the purchase thereof, all tickets on
				  the Daily Double will be calculated in an entirely separate pool.
(b) To win a Daily Double, it is necessary
				  for the purchaser of a Daily Double ticket to select the winners of each of the
				  two races specified for the double. If either of his selections fails to win,
				  his contract is void, except as hereafter provided.
(c) All tickets will be to win (Straight)
				  only. Horses designated and listed as the "Field," race as one horse in the
				  Daily Double. If two or more horses in a 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.
(d)
				  Selections are to be made of one horse for each of two races in the Daily
				  Double by "Tote" program numbers.
(e) If no ticket is sold combining the two
				  winners of the Daily Double, the pool shall then be apportioned equally between
				  those having tickets including the winner in the first race of the Daily Double
				  and those having tickets including the winner in the second race of the Daily
				  Double in the same manner in which a Place Pool is calculated and
				  distributed.
(f) If no ticket is
				  sold on the winner of the first race of the Daily Double on any combination,
				  the entire pool is apportioned to the holder of tickets on the winner of the
				  second race of the Daily Double. Likewise, if no ticket is sold on the winner
				  of the second race of the Daily Double on any combination, the entire pool is
				  apportioned to the holders of tickets on the winner of the first race of the
				  Daily Double.
(g) If a dead heat to
				  win should result in either the first or second race of the Daily Double, the
				  total pool is calculated as a place pool. In case of a dead heat for the winner
				  of the first race of the Daily Double, the posting of payoff prices will be
				  made after winner of second race of the Daily Double is Official.
(h) If no ticket is sold containing the
				  numbers of either winner on any combination, the pool shall be allotted to
				  those having tickets on horses finishing second in each of the two contests,
				  but if there are no wagers, then the entire pool shall be refunded on Double
				  wagers for those contests.
(i) In
				  the event any horse or horses in the first half of the Daily Double should be
				  excused by the racing officials after the horses shall have left the paddock
				  for the post, or after the betting on the Daily Double has been closed, or
				  should any horse or horses in the first half of the Daily Double be prevented
				  from racing because of failure 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 Daily Double Pool and refunded to the purchaser or purchasers of
				  tickets on the horse or horses so excused or prevented from racing.
(1) Should any horse or horses be scratched,
				  excused by the racing officials or prevented from racing because of the failure
				  of the starting gate to open in the last half of the Daily Double, all tickets
				  combining the horse or horses with the winner of the first race of the Daily
				  Double shall become consolation tickets and shall be paid a price per dollar
				  bet determined as follows: the net Daily Double Pool (the gross Daily Double
				  Pool less tax) shall be divided by the total purchase price of all Daily Double
				  tickets designating the winner of the first half of the Daily Double and the
				  quotient attained shall constitute the price to be paid. The total amount
				  payable on consolation tickets shall be deducted from the net Daily Double
				  Pool.
