				  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) In order 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) Should no ticket be sold containing the
				  numbers of either winner on any combination, the pool shall be allotted to
				  those having tickets on horses finishing next to the winners.
(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 such 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.
