Title 9 Part 4011

The daily double is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the pool shown on the totalisator board.

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 daily double. If either of his or her selections fails to win, his or her contract is voided, except as hereinafter provided.

Entries and fields may be included in the first and second races of the daily double. In the event that part of an entry or field is scratched before the running of the first race of the daily double, the provisions of section 4009.20 of this Title shall govern.

The payoff shall be posted after the result of the first race is declared “Official” and before the second race is run, except in the event of a dead heat in the first race, when the posting of the payoff may be deferred until the second race has been run.

The daily double pool shall be calculated and distributed as follows: the net pool divided by the amount wagered on the winning combination determines the pay-off per dollar bet.

If a horse is scratched or declared a nonstarter no further tickets may be issued designating such horse and all tickets previously issued designating such horse shall be refunded and the money deducted from the gross pool. When such horse is part of a coupled entry or field, the provisions of section 4009.20 of this Subchapter shall govern.

The numbers of the first two horses as made official shall be the winning combination regardless of their respective order of finish, except that where more than one of such horses is part of a coupled entry or field with another of such horses, only the one best finisher of such horses shall be counted in the winning combination for payoff, and the horse or horses not in such coupled entry or field finishing the same, or, if applicable, next finishing, shall be the other part of the winning quinella combination. For example, if two horses in a coupled entry (or field):

If no ticket is sold on a winning combination in a quinella pool, the net pool shall be apportioned among those holding tickets designating the horse placing first with any other horse and those holding tickets designating the horse placing second with any other horse, in the same manner in which a place pool is calculated.

In case of a dead heat between two horses for the first place, that combination shall be the winner of the quinella pool. In cases of a dead heat for first place involving more than two horses, the net pool shall be calculated and distributed to holders of tickets combining any two dead-heated horses as in a win pool dead heat.

Races in which quinella betting shall be conducted shall be approved by the commission.

The numbers of the first two horses as made official shall be the winning combination except that where more than one of such horses is part of a coupled entry or field with another of such horses only the best finisher of such horses shall be counted in the winning combination for payoff, and the horse or horses not in such coupled entry or field finishing the same, or, if applicable, next finishing, shall be the other part of the winning exacta combination. For example, if two horses in a coupled entry (or field):

If no exacta ticket is sold combining the winner and second place horse in order, the net pool shall be distributed to holders of exacta tickets designating the winner to win. In the event one horse only finishes and is declared winner, the net pool shall be distributed to holders of exacta tickets designating the winner to win. Should these circumstances be foreseeable when a pool is closed, an immediate announcement shall be made to hold all tickets because all combinations are not covered.

In the event of a dead heat, all tickets designating the correct order of finish, crediting each horse in a dead heat as finishing in any of the dead-heat positions, shall be winning tickets. Distribution shall be in accordance with established pari-mutuel practice relative to dead heats, i.e., separate price calculations for different combinations.

In the event of a dead heat, all tickets designating the correct order of finish, crediting each horse in a dead heat as finishing in any of the dead-heat positions, shall be winning tickets. Distribution shall be in accordance with established pari-mutuel practice relative to dead heats, i.e., separate price calculations for different combinations.

From the gross pool is deducted the take-out and consolation payoff amounts, if any, and the resulting balance, divided by the amount wagered on the winning combination, less breaks, shall determine the payoff per dollar on winning bets.

If there are two or more winning combinations because of a dead heat in one or more legs there shall be a separate payoff price per dollar calculated for each winning combination as follows: from the gross pool is deducted the take-out, consolation payoff amounts, if any, and amounts wagered on all winning combinations; the balance shall be divided by the number of different winning combinations upon which bets were sold, each resulting allocated part being assigned to each respective winning combination; an allocated part plus the amounts bet on each winning combination when divided by the amount bet on such winning combination (less breaks) shall be the resulting payoff per dollar per respective winning combination.

Pick-five pools

Should a programmed starter be scratched or declared a nonstarter in any pick-five race before the start of the first pick-five race, any affected bettor may select another betting interest, if the wager can be canceled and a replacement wager issued before the start of the first pick-five race, or may obtain a cancellation of the wager prior to the start of the first race of the pick-five sequence. If neither option is exercised, then wagers upon such scratched or declared nonstarter shall be deemed wagers upon the designated horse for such race. The

designated horse

means the betting entry or field upon which the most wagering money has been registered at the track in the win pool at the close of win-pool betting for such race. (In the event of a money tie, the tied betting entry or field with the lowest program number shall be designated.) At any time after wagering begins on the pick-five pool, should an entire betting entry or field be scratched or declared a nonstarter in any pick-five race, no further tickets selecting such betting entry or field shall be issued, and wagers upon such betting entry or field, for purposes of the pick-five pool, shall be deemed wagers upon the designated horse. Wagers in the pick-five pool upon an entry or field of horses from which a starter or starters may have been scratched will, in the case of such entry or field, be deemed wagers upon the horse or horses remaining in such entry or field. In case no starter remains representing any betting entry or field, wagers upon such entry or field shall be deemed wagers upon the designated horse in the race affected by the scratch. Should the balance of a betting entry or field race as a non-betting starter for purposes of other pari-mutuel pools, as provided in sections 4009.20 and 4009.21 of this Article, wagers upon such entry or field shall be deemed wagers upon the designated horse for such race.

If neither subdivision (h) nor subdivision (i) of this section applies, then the pick-five pool shall be apportioned, with the prior written approval of the commission following the request of track operator offering this wager, pursuant to either paragraph (1) or (2) of this subdivision, as follows: (1) the net pick-five pool and carryover, if any, shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the pick-five contests, based on the official order of finish, unless otherwise provided in this section. If there are no such wagers, the net pick-five pool shall be added to the carryover; or

Except for pick-five pools in which a designated distribution is to be made, the following shall apply:

forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (g) of this section, 25 percent of the net pick-five pool, excluding any carryover from previous programs, shall be distributed, less breaks, as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of pick-five races, and 75 percent shall be added to the carryover.

When the condition of a course warrants a change of racing surface to a course with a different surface in any of the pick-five races, and such change has not been known to the public before the close of wagering for the pick-five pool, then such changed race shall be deemed an all win race for pick-five wagering purposes. An

all-win race

means the winning horse of that race is assigned to each pick-five bettor as such bettor’s selection for that race. Except for pick-five pools in which a final distribution is to be made, a pick-five pool with surface transfer(s) shall be handled as follows:

wagers and the track operator has selected the pick-five wagering option set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (g) of this section, 25 percent of the net pick-five pool, excluding any carryover from previous programs, shall be distributed, less breaks, as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of pick-five races, and 75 percent shall be added to the carryover.

wagers and the track operator has selected the pick-five wagering option pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (g) of this section, 25 percent of the net pick-five pool, excluding any carryover from previous programs, shall be distributed, less breaks, as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of pick-five races, and 75 percent shall be added to the carryover.

If there is a dead heat for first in any of the pick-five contests involving:

After the pick-five carryover is frozen, 100 percent of the net pool that ordinarily would be added to the pick-five carryover shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick-five contests for that performance.

The pick-five carryover may be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, other than as a final distribution, as set forth in subdivision (m) of this section, only under the following circumstances:

If the pick-five carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the winner in each of the pick-five races, then the net pool, with any carryover, shall be distributed as a single-price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick-five contests.

The track operator shall select, with the approval of the commission, a date and program during the final week of the annual assigned racing dates of the track operator, and also during the year during the final week of a meeting at a track after which such track operator will operate at another track, when there shall be a final distribution of all accumulated carryovers together with the net pool of the pick-five pool conducted during such program to the holders of wagers selecting the winners of the most pick-five races contested during such program. If all pick-five races on the program designated for final distribution are cancelled and no further programs are conducted at the meeting, then no other pick-five pools shall be conducted during such week and the commission shall require that a pick-five pool be conducted on the first program of the next race meeting conducted at such track by such track operator to provide for final distribution for such prior meeting. The commission may also order a final distribution for an earlier time in the commission’s discretion.
