Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024

						pools, the Commission, therefore, identifies the practice of canceling wagers
						that were placed for the sole purpose of manipulating the posted Odds or Will
						Pays as being inconsistent with the honesty and integrity of racing under
						§307.7, Ejection and Exclusion, and as a detrimental practice under
						§311.6, Denial, Suspension, and Revocation of Licenses.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The takeout
					 authorized by law is deducted from the total wagered in the win pool. The
					 balance is the net pool.
(b) The
					 amount wagered on the winner is divided into the net pool. The quotient is the
					 payoff price on the winner for each dollar wagered and it includes the dollar
					 wagered on the winner.
(c) If a
					 race animal wins and no money was wagered on the animal to win, the win pool
					 shall be distributed among the holders of tickets on that animal in the place
					 pool. If there are no tickets on the animal in the place pool, the win pool
					 shall be distributed among the holders of tickets on that animal in the show
					 pool. If there are no tickets on the animal in the show pool, the money in the
					 win pool shall be refunded.
(d) If
					 a race ends in a two-animal dead heat for first place, the win pool shall be
					 calculated as a place pool. If a race ends in a multiple-animal dead heat for
					 first place, the win pool shall be distributed as a profit for split to the

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The takeout
					 authorized by law is deducted from the total wagered in the place pool. The
					 balance is the net pool.
(b) The
					 amount wagered in the place pool on the race animals that placed first and
					 second is deducted from the net pool. The remaining profits are divided into
					 two equal parts, between the wagers on the winner in the place pool and the
					 wagers on the animal that finished second.
(c) With the amount wagered in the place pool
					 on the winner as the divisor and one-half of the profits of the place pool as
					 the dividend, the quotient is the profit-per-dollar wagered in the place pool
					 on the winner.
(d) With the amount
					 wagered in the place pool on the animal finishing second as the divisor and
					 one-half of the profits of the place pool as the dividend, the quotient is the
					 profit-per-dollar wagered in the place pool on the animal finishing
					 second.
(e) The profit-per-dollar
					 wagered is the resultant. Because the amounts wagered on the animals finishing
					 first and second must be returned, the amount deducted from the net pool under
					 subsection (b) of this section is added to the quotient. The result is the
					 payoff price for each dollar wagered on the animals finishing first and second
					 in the place pool.
(f) If a race
					 ends in a dead heat for first place, the place pool shall be distributed in
					 accordance with subsections (c) and (d) of this section. If a race ends in a
					 dead heat for second place, tickets on the first place animal shall be paid in
					 accordance with subsection (c), and the remaining half of the place pool shall
					 be distributed as a profit for split to holders of tickets on any of the
					 animals finishing in the dead heat for second place.
(g) If no money was wagered to place on an
					 animal finishing first or second in a race, the place pool shall be distributed
					 among the holders of the place tickets on the other animal that finished first
					 or second. If no money was wagered to place on either of the animals finishing
					 first or second in a race, the place pool shall be distributed among the
					 holders of tickets on the first and second place animals in the show pool. If
					 the place pool cannot otherwise be distributed in accordance with this section,
					 the money in the place pool shall be refunded.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The takeout
					 authorized by law is deducted from the total wagered in the show pool. The
					 balance is the net pool.
(b) The
					 amount wagered in the show pool on the race animals finishing first, second,
					 and third is deducted from the net pool. The remaining profits are divided into
					 three equal parts, among the wagers in the show pool on the winner, the animal
					 finishing second, and the animal finishing third.
(c) With the amount wagered in the show pool
					 on the winner as a divisor and one-third of the profits of the show pool as a
					 dividend, the quotient is the profit-per-dollar wagered in the show pool on the
					 winner.
(d) With the amount wagered
					 in the show pool on the animal finishing second as the divisor and one-third of
					 the profits of the show pool as the dividend, the quotient is the
					 profit-per-dollar wagered in the show pool on the animal finishing
					 second.
(e) With the amount wagered
					 in the show pool on the animal finishing third as the divisor and one-third of
					 the profits of the show pool as the dividend, the quotient is the
					 profit-per-dollar wagered in the show pool on the animal finishing
					 third.
(f) The profit-per-dollar
					 wagered is the resultant. Because the amounts wagered on the animals finishing
					 first, second, and third must be returned, the amount deducted from the net
					 pool under subsection (b) of this section is added to the quotient. The result
					 is the payoff price for each dollar wagered on the animals finishing first,
					 second, and third in the show pool.
(g) If a race ends in a dead heat for first
					 or second place, the show pool shall be distributed in accordance with
					 subsections (c)-(e) of this section. If a race ends in a dead heat for third
					 place, tickets on the first and second place animals shall be paid in
					 accordance with subsection (c) and (d) and the remaining third of the show pool
					 shall be distributed as a profit for split to holders of tickets on any of the
					 animals finishing in the dead heat for third place.
(h) If no money was wagered in the show pool
					 on an animal finishing first, second, or third in a race, the show pool shall
					 be distributed as a profit for split among the holders of the show tickets on
					 the other animals that finished first, second, or third. If no money was
					 wagered in the show pool on any of the animals finishing first, second, or
					 third in a race, the money in the show pool shall be refunded.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The exacta is
					 not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the win, place, and show
					 pools shown on the tote board. All tickets in an exacta race shall be
					 calculated as a separate pool.
(b)
					 When purchasing an exacta ticket, the patron shall designate the exact order of
					 finish for the first and second place animals.
(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, regardless of whether any
					 part of the entry or field failed to start. 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 an exacta race is scratched or
					 otherwise prevented from racing, all money wagered on the affected animal shall
					 be deducted from the exacta pool and refunded to the holders of tickets on the
					 affected animal.
(e) If no ticket
					 is sold on the winning combination in an exacta race, the net pool shall be
					 distributed among the holders of tickets selecting the winner to finish first.
					 If no such ticket is sold, the net pool shall be distributed among the holders
					 of tickets selecting the second place animal to finish second.
(f) If a race ends in a dead heat for first
					 place, the net pool shall be calculated and distributed as a place pool to
					 holders of the winning combination.
(g) If a race ends in a dead heat for second
					 place, all tickets designating the appropriate animal to win coupled with any
					 of the second place animals are winners and the pool shall be distributed as a
					 place pool.
(h) If a race ends in a
					 dead heat for second place and no ticket is sold on any of the winning
					 combinations, the net pool shall be calculated and distributed to the holders
					 of tickets that designated the winner or any of the second place animals
					 according to their respective interest in the net pool.
(i) If a race ends in a dead heat for first
					 among more than two animals, the net pool shall be calculated and distributed
					 as a profit for split to holders of tickets designating any two of the animals
					 participating in the dead heat.
(j)
					 If no ticket is sold that would require distribution under this section, the
					 exacta is considered "no contest" and the association shall carry forward all
					 money wagered in the exacta pool to the next consecutive exacta pool.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The twin
					 trifecta wager is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the
					 win, place, and show pools shown on the tote board. All tickets on the twin
					 trifecta shall be calculated as a separate pool.
(b) The twin trifecta requires selection of
					 the first three finishers, in exact order, in each of two designated races.
					 Each winning ticket for the first twin trifecta race must be exchanged for a
					 free ticket on the second twin trifecta race to remain eligible for the
					 second-half twin trifecta pool. Such tickets may be exchanged only at
					 designated attended ticket windows before the start of the second twin trifecta
					 race. Winning first-half twin trifecta wagers will receive both an exchange and
					 a monetary payout. Both of the designated twin trifecta races shall be included
					 in one twin trifecta pool.
(c)
					 After wagering closes for the first-half of the twin trifecta and commissions
					 have been deducted from the pool, the net pool shall then be divided equally
					 into two separate pools: the first-half twin trifecta pool and the second-half
					 twin trifecta pool.
(d) In the
					 first twin trifecta race only, the first-half twin trifecta pool shall be
					 distributed according to the following precedence, based on the official order
					 of finish for the first twin trifecta race:
(1) As a single price pool to those whose
					 combination finished in correct sequence as the first three betting interests;
					 but if there are no such wagers, then
(2) As a single price pool to those whose
					 combination included, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but
					 if there are no such wagers, then
(3) As a single price pool to those whose
					 combination included, in correct sequence, the first and third betting
					 interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(4) As a single price pool to those whose
					 combination correctly selected the first-place betting interest; but if there
					 are no such wagers, then
(5) As a
					 single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the
					 second and third betting interests; but if there are no such wagers,
					 then
(6) As a single price pool to
					 those whose combination correctly selected the second-place betting interest;
					 but if there are no such wagers, then
(7) As a single price pool to those whose
					 combination correctly selected the third-place betting interest; but if there
					 are no such wagers, then
(8) The
					 twin trifecta pool shall be canceled and the entire pool shall be carried
					 forward to the next consecutive performance and combined with that
					 performance's second-half twin trifecta pool.
