Texas Administrative Code › Title 16 - ECONOMIC REGULATION › Part 8 - TEXAS RACING COMMISSION › Chapter 321 - PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING › Subchapter C - REGULATION OF LIVE WAGERING › Division 2 - DISTRIBUTION OF PARI-MUTUEL POOLS › Section 321.308 - Quinella

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The quinella is
					 not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the win, place, and show
					 pools on the tote board. All tickets on the quinella shall be calculated as a
					 separate pool.
(b) A quinella
					 ticket is for the win and place combination only. When purchasing a quinella
					 ticket, the patron shall select the two animals to be the top two
					 finishers.
(c) If any part of a
					 coupled entry or mutuel field is a starter, the association may not refund
					 money wagered under this section to persons wagering on the entry or field. For
					 purposes of this section, if a part of the entry or field finishes first, the
					 order of finish of the other animals in the entry or field shall be disregarded
					 in determining which animal finished second.
(d) If after wagering has begun an animal
					 entered in a quinella race is scratched or otherwise prevented from racing, all
					 money wagered on the affected animal shall be deducted from the quinella pool
					 and refunded to the holders of tickets on the affected animal.
(e) If no ticket is sold on the winning
					 combination in a quinella race, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the
					 winning animal and all quinella tickets bearing the number of the second place
					 animal are considered winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated in the
					 same manner as a place pool.
(f) If
					 no ticket is sold on the winning combination in a race and no quinella ticket
					 bears the number of the winner, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the
					 second place animal are considered winning tickets and the payoff shall be
					 calculated as a win pool.
(g) If no
					 ticket is sold on the winning combination in a race and no quinella tickets
					 bear the number of the second place animal, all quinella tickets bearing the
					 number of the winner are considered winning tickets and the payoff shall be
					 calculated as a win pool.
(h) If
					 only one animal finishes in a quinella race, the entire pool is distributed as
					 a win pool for the persons who wagered on the winner.
(i) If a quinella race ends in a dead heat
					 for first place, all animals finishing first are the winners of the race and
					 the pool shall be distributed as a place pool.
(j) If a quinella race ends in a two-animal
					 dead heat for second place, the entire pool is distributed as a place pool. If
					 a quinella race ends in a multiple-animal dead heat for second place, all
					 combinations that couple the winning animal with any of the second place
					 animals are winners of the quinella and the pool shall be distributed as a
					 profit split.
(k) If no ticket is
					 sold on the winning combination in a quinella race and no quinella tickets bear
					 the number of either the winner or the second place animal, the quinella is
					 considered "no contest" and the association shall carry forward all money
					 wagered in the quinella pool to the next consecutive quinella pool.
