Pennsylvania Code › Title 58 - RECREATION › Part IV - Horse Racing Commission › Chapter 165 - ADMINISTRATIVE RULES › Subchapter E - PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING › Section 165.115 - 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) If no ticket is sold combining in order
				  the horse declared the winner and the horse declared to have placed, the
				  Perfecta (Exacta) pool shall be apportioned between those having tickets
				  selecting to win the horse declared the winner and those having tickets
				  selecting to place the horse declared to have placed and the net pool shall be
				  distributed and calculated in the same manner as a Place Pool.
(e) In the event any horse or horses in the
				  Perfecta (Exacta) should be excused by the racing officials after the horses
				  shall have left the paddock for the post, or after the betting on the Perfecta
				  (Exacta) has been closed, or should any horse or horses in the Perfecta
				  (Exacta) 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 Perfecta (Exacta) Pool and refunded to the
				  purchaser or purchasers of tickets on the horse or horses so excused or
				  prevented from racing.
(f) In the
				  event only one horse finishes the race and is declared the winner, the net pool
				  shall be distributed to holders of Perfecta (Exacta) tickets designating to win
				  the horse declared the winner.
(g)
				  "Fields" are permitted in a Perfecta (Exacta) race. If two or more horses in a
				  Perfecta (Exacta) race are listed as the "Field" on totalisator tickets they
				  shall be counted as a single selection for determining the order of finish. In
				  the event two field entries finish in first and second place, only the one
				  finishing first shall be deemed a winning entry for Perfecta (Exacta) purposes
				  and the next closest non-field entry shall be deemed the second place finisher
				  for Perfecta (Exacta) wagers. There shall be no refunds for field entries,
				  unless all the horses listed in the field are excused before "off"
				  time.
