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 321.314 - Superfecta

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The superfecta
					 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 superfecta shall be
					 calculated as a separate pool.
(b)
					 A person purchasing a superfecta ticket shall select the four animals that will
					 finish first, second, third, and fourth in one race. The pool shall be
					 distributed only to the holders of tickets that select the same order of finish
					 as officially posted.
(c) If no
					 superfecta ticket is sold for the winning combination, the pool shall be
					 distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the win, place, and show
					 finishers. If no ticket is sold combining the win, place, and show finishers,
					 the pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the win and
					 place finishers. If no ticket is sold combining the win and place finishers,
					 the pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the winner.
					 If less than four animals finish and the race is declared official by the
					 stewards or racing judges, the pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets
					 selecting the finishing animals in order, ignoring the balance of the
					 selection.
(d) In the event of a
					 dead heat, all superfecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish,
					 counting an animal in a dead heat as finishing in either position dead heated,
					 shall be winning tickets. The pool shall be distributed as a place
					 pool.
(e) If an animal is scratched
					 in a superfecta race, a superfecta ticket may not be exchanged. All tickets
					 which include a scratched animal shall be eliminated from further participation
					 in the superfecta pool and shall be refunded.
(f) If the superfecta pool cannot otherwise
					 be distributed in accordance with this section, the money in the superfecta
					 pool shall be carried forward to the next consecutive superfecta
					 pool.
(g) An association shall not
					 offer Superfecta wagering on any race placed on the official program that does
					 not have seven or more different wagering interests unless approved by the
					 board of stewards or judges. The board of stewards or judges may not approve a
					 Superfecta wager in a race with fewer than six wagering interests.
(h) In the event scratches after the animals
					 leave the paddock cause the number of different wagering interests to fall
					 below seven, or below an amount previously approved by the board of stewards or
					 judges as outlined in subsection (g) of this section, the board of stewards or
					 judges may order the wager to be canceled and the pool to be refunded if deemed
					 in the interest of wagering integrity.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The
					 tri-superfecta is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the
					 win, place, or show pools on the tote board. All tickets on the tri-superfecta
					 shall be calculated as a separate pool.
(b) The tri-superfecta requires selection of
					 the first three finishers, in exact order, in the first of two designated
					 races. Each winning ticket for the first tri-superfecta race must be exchanged
					 for a free ticket on the second tri-superfecta race to remain eligible for the
					 second-half tri-superfecta pool. Such tickets may be exchanged only at
					 designated attended ticket windows before the start of the second
					 tri-superfecta race. Winning first-half tri-superfecta wagers will receive both
					 an exchange and a monetary payout. Both of the designated tri-superfecta races
					 shall be included in one tri-superfecta pool.
(c) After wagering closes for the first-half
					 of the tri-superfecta and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the net
					 pool shall then be divided equally into two separate pools: the first-half
					 tri-superfecta pool and the second-half tri-superfecta pool.
(d) In the first tri-superfecta race only,
					 the first-half tri-superfecta pool shall be distributed according to the
					 following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first
					 tri-superfecta 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
					 tri-superfecta 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 tri-superfecta pool.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The odd-even is
					 not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the win, place, and show
					 pools shown on the tote board. The odd-even is a separate pool and shall be
					 calculated as a win pool.
(b) A
					 person purchasing an odd-even ticket shall designate "odd" or "even". An "odd"
					 ticket represents a wager on each race animal with an odd number as listed in
					 the official program. An "even" ticket represents a wager on each race animal
					 with an even number as listed in the official program.
(c) If the race animal finishing first has an
					 odd program number, the odd-even pool shall be distributed to the holders of
					 tickets designating odd. If the race animal finishing first has an even program
					 number, the odd-even pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets
					 designating even.
(d) Except as
					 otherwise provided by this subsection, if after wagering has begun an animal
					 entered in an odd-even race is scratched or otherwise prevented from racing,
					 there will be no refund. The association, with the approval of the stewards or
					 racing judges, may cancel the odd-even pool and refund all money in the pool if
					 there are less than three odd program number race animals or less than three
					 even program number race animals participating in a race.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this
					 subsection, if a race ends in a dead heat for first place between a race animal
					 with an odd program number and a race animal with an even program number, the
					 program number of the third place finishing animal will determine the winners
					 of the odd-even pool. If there is a dead heat for third place between a race
					 animal with an odd program number and a race animal with an even program
					 number, the program number of the fifth place finishing animal will determine
					 the winners of the odd-even pool. If a race ends a dead heat for first place
					 between three race animals, the type of program number of the majority of the
					 animals involved in the dead heat will determine the winners of the odd-even
					 pool.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
The Commission finds that, although wagering on simulcast
						races provides additional revenue for the state treasury, the primary advantage

						for live races conducted in this state. The Commission further finds it is in
						the public interest to encourage live racing, which promotes economic
						development in a variety of racing-related industries. Therefore, it is the
						Commission's intent to adopt and enforce rules relating to simulcast wagering
						in a manner that will encourage live racing and enhance the horse breeding,
						owning, and training industries and the greyhound breeding, owning, and
						training industries.
