STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 230.260(3), (6), 230.361(1), (2)

NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 230.361(1) requires the commission to promulgate administrative regulations governing mutuel wagering under the pari-mutuel system of wagering. This administrative regulation establishes the requirement for pari-mutuel wagering at race meetings.

Section 1. Equipment. (1) Licensees may use vending machines for the sale of pari-mutuel tickets.

(2) The controls necessary to operate the odds board in the infield, relative to the way the horses finish, (if the finish is being contested, if there is a photo, dead heat, time, or race) shall be located in the judge's stand and controlled only by the presiding judge, or one associate judge designated to do so.

Section 2. Sale of Pari-mutuel Tickets. (1) Only one (1) method of selling pari-mutuel tickets shall be used for the sale of tickets on individual races during any racing day.

(2) Unless prior commission approval has been obtained, pari-mutuel tickets shall not be sold except through regular ticket windows.

(3) Book making or betting other than pari-mutuel betting shall be strictly prohibited.

(4) A minor shall not be allowed to bet and a mutuel employee shall not sell or pay a wager to a minor.

(5) All wagering shall stop as soon as the word "go" shall be given by record or by voice of the starter. Vending machines for the sale of pari-mutuel tickets shall be electrically locked by the presiding judge from the judge's stand.

(6) When the sale of pari-mutuel tickets has closed, it shall remain closed until after the race has finished and has been declared official, unless an objection imposes a delay. If an objection imposes a delay, the sale of pari-mutuel tickets for the next succeeding race may be begun without waiting for the race to be declared official.

(7) The method of selling pari-mutuel tickets shall be approved by the commission.

(8) The manager of the pari-mutuel department shall be properly and timely advised by the presiding judge, prior to the beginning of wagering on each race, of the horses that will compete in the race.

(9) If less than five (5) interests qualify horses to start in a race, the manager of the pari-mutuel department may prohibit show wagering on that race.

(10) If less than four (4) interests qualify horses to start in a race, the manager may prohibit both place and show wagering on that race.

(11) If less than three (3) interests qualify horses to start in a race, the manager may prohibit wagering on that race.

(12) The manager may prohibit win, place, or show wagering on any particular horse or entry in any race. The exclusions shall be clearly indicated on the program or score card or announced and horses excluded shall be numbered to indicate that they are not coupled in the field. Horses once excluded from the betting shall remain excluded during the day or race in which they are scheduled to start.

(13) If more horses representing separate interests are started in a race than the number of post positions on the infield tote board, all horses in excess of a number of interests one (1) less than the total number of post positions on the infield tote board shall be grouped in the betting as the field.

(14) A refund at cost value shall be made to all holders of a purchased ticket bearing the number of a horse in any race which has been scratched or withdrawn before the horse has become a starter in the race under the rules, unless the horse is part of an entry, and one (1) or more of the entry starts.

Section 3. Payments. (1) Payments due on all wagers shall be made in conformity with the well established practice of the pari-mutuel system. The practice shall work in dollars and not in the number of tickets. Money wagering on winning tickets shall be returned in full plus the profits. For a winning mutuel pool, each licensee shall redistribute not less than one (1) dollar and ten (10) ten cents on each one (1) dollar wagered. If there is a minus pool, the minimum payoff of each one (1) dollar wagered shall be one (1) dollar and five (5) cents.

(2) At the end of each race, the judges shall advise the manager of the pari-mutuel department by the use of the tote equipment or by telephone of the official placement of the horses, and no payoffs shall be made until the receipt of the notice.

(3) If a horse wins and there is no money wagered on him to win, the win pool shall be apportioned among the holders of the place tickets on that horse, if any, otherwise among holders of the show tickets.

(4) If no money has been wagered to place on a horse which is placed first or second in a race, the place pool for that race shall be apportioned among the holders of the place tickets on the other horse which was placed first or second.

(5) If no money has been wagered to show on a horse which has placed first, second, or third in a race, the show pool in that race shall be apportioned among the holders of show tickets on the other horses which are placed first, second, or third in that race.

(6) If only two (2) horses finish in any one (1) race, the show pool shall be figured the same as the place pool and monies shall be apportioned to the holders of show tickets on the two (2) finishing horses. If only one (1) horse finishes in any one (1) race, all three (3) pools shall be figured separately as straight pools and all the monies shall be awarded to the ticket holders of the finishing horse. If no horse finishes the race, then the entire pool shall be refunded to all ticket holders.

(7) If two (2) horses finish in a dead heat for first place, the money in the win mutuel pool shall be divided between the two (2) dead-heaters according to their proportionate shares in the pool.

(8) If two (2) horses finish in a dead heat for second place, the division shall be made as follows: There shall be allotted to the pool of the winner of the race one-half (1/2) of the place pool and the two (2) dead-heaters one-half (1/2) each of the remaining half of the place pool.

(9) If two (2) horses coupled in the betting as an entry or the field finish first and second, first and third, or second and third, two-thirds (2/3) of the net show pool shall be allotted to the pool of the entry and the balance one-third (1/3) to the other horse.

(10) If one (1) horse of the entry or the field finishes first or second and the other part of the entry or field finishes in a dead heat for third with another horse, the division of the net show pool shall be as follows: one-half (1/2) of the net show pool shall be allotted to the pool of the entry, one-third (1/3) to the nonentry horse not involved in the dead heat, and one-sixth (1/6) to the nonentry horse finishing in the dead heat.

(11) If the entry or field horses finish first, second, and third, the entire money in each pool shall go to the entry or field tickets, and no other tickets shall participate.

(12) A mutilated pari-mutuel ticket that is not easily identifiable as being a valid ticket shall not be accepted for payment.

(13) Claims for lost pari-mutuel tickets shall not be considered.

(14) If an error is made in calculation resulting in a price being too high, the association shall lose the amount between the proper price and the one paid. If the error in calculation results in a price being too low, the amount between proper price and price paid shall be added to the net pool of the same position in the following race on the same day or if it is the last race of the day then it shall be added to the net pool of the same position in the same race on the following day. If an error occurs causing underpayment on the last race of the entire racing meeting, the underpayment shall be paid to the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet.

Section 4. Daily Doubles. (1) There shall not be an exchange of daily double tickets after the purchaser has left the sales window.

(2) The daily double shall not be a parlay, and shall not have a connection with or relation to any other pari-mutuel pool conducted by the association, nor to any win, place, or show pool shown on the totalistor board. All tickets on the daily double shall be calculated in an entirely separate pool. Without prior commission approval, only one (1) daily double shall be permitted during any single program.

(3) All tickets shall be to win (straight) only. Entries and the field shall run as one (1) horse in the daily double. If two (2) or more horses in a race are coupled on the same totalizator ticket, there shall not be refunds, unless all of the horses so coupled are excused before off time.

(4) Selections shall be made of one (1) horse for each of the two (2) races in the daily double by tote program numbers.

(5) If no ticket is sold combining the two (2) 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.

(6) If no ticket is sold on the winner of the first race of the daily double on any combination, the entire pool shall be apportioned to the holders of tickets on the winner of the second race of the daily double. If no ticket is sold on the winner of the second race of the daily double or any combination, the entire pool shall be apportioned to the holders of tickets on the winner of the first race of the daily double.

(7) If a dead heat to win results in either the first or second race of the daily double, the total pool shall be calculated as a place pool. If there is a dead heat for the winner of the first race of the daily double, the posting of payoff prices shall be made after the winner of the second race of the daily double is official.

(8) If no ticket is 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.

(9) If any horse or horses in the first half of the daily double are excused by the judges after the horses have left the paddock for the post, or after the betting on the daily double has been closed, or if any horse or horses in the first half of the daily double are prevented from racing because of failure of the arm or arms of the starting gate to open, the money wagered on any horse or horses 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 excused or prevented from racing.

(10) If a horse is scratched from the second half of the daily double before it becomes a starter in the second half, but after the first half of the daily double has been run, all daily double tickets combining the scratched horse in the second race of the daily double with the actual winner of the first race of the daily double shall be paid a price equivalent to that fraction of the net pool derived by dividing the net pool by the total purchase price of all tickets combining the winner of the first race of the daily double with all horses in the second race of the daily double. The total payoff on all tickets combining the winner of the first race of the daily double with the scratched horse in the second race of the daily double as determined by the method set forth in this rule shall be deducted from the net daily double pool.

(11) The possible payoff prices shall be posted or announced to the public before the start of the last race of the daily double, and as soon as possible after the horses in the race of the last half of the daily double have entered upon the track on the way to the post.

(12) If for any reason the second race of the daily double is cancelled or declared "no race" by the judges after the first daily double race is declared official, then the net daily double pool shall be distributed to wagering combinations which include the horse or betting interest which finished first in the first daily double race.

(13) If a daily double is scheduled to be held, subsections (1) to (12) of this section shall be printed in conspicuous places in the grandstand area and an abbreviated version shall be printed on the day's racing program, and a notice shall be printed on the program as follows: "Retain Your Tickets Until The Result of the Daily Double Has Been Posted."

Section 5. Perfecta Wagering. (1) The perfecta shall be a contract by the purchaser of a ticket combining two (2) horses in a single race, selecting the two (2) horses that will subsequently finish first and second in that race. Payment of the ticket shall be made only to the purchaser who has selected the same order of finish as officially posted.

(2) The perfecta shall not be a parlay and shall not have a connection with or relation to the win, place, or show betting and shall be calculated as an entirely separate pool.

(3) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination of a perfecta pool, the net pool shall be distributed equally between holders of tickets selecting the winning horse to finish first. If no ticket is sold on the winning combination of a perfecta pool or tickets selecting the winning horse to finish first, the net pool shall be distributed equally between holders of tickets selecting the second place horse to finish second.

(4) If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of a perfecta pool to a winner pursuant to subsection (3) of this section, the association shall make a complete and full refund of the perfecta pool.

(5) If there is a dead heat between two (2) horses for first place, the net perfecta pool shall be calculated and distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets of the winning combinations. If there is a dead heat between two (2) horses for second place, the perfecta pool shall be figured as a place pool, and the holders of tickets combining the winning horse and the two (2) horses finishing second shall participate in the payoff.

(6) If there is a dead heat for second place, and if no ticket is sold on one (1) of the two (2) winning combinations, the entire net pool shall be calculated as a win pool and distributed to those holding tickets on the other winning combination. If no tickets combine the winning horse with either of the place horses in the dead heat, the perfecta pool shall be calculated and distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets representing any interest in the net pool.

(7) If two (2) or three (3) horses coupled in an entry or the mutuel field finish first and second or first, second, and third, the winning combination shall be the coupled horses and the horse placed immediately behind such entry or field.

Section 6. Quinella Wagering. (1) The quinella shall be a form of a pari-mutuel wagering consisting of selecting the first two (2) horses to finish, irrespective of their place of finish.

(2) The quinella shall not be a parlay and shall not have a connection with or relations to the win, place, or show betting and shall be calculated as an entirely separate pool.

(3) If there is a dead heat between two (2) horses for first place, the combination shall be the winner of the quinella pool. If there is a dead heat between two (2) horses for second place, the quinella pool shall be figured as a place pool, and the holders of tickets combining the winning horse and the two (2) horses finishing second shall participate in the payoff.

(4) If there is a dead heat for second place, and if no ticket is sold on one (1) of the winning combinations, the entire net pool shall be calculated as a win pool and distributed to those holding tickets on the other winning combination. If no tickets combine the winning horse with either of the place horses in the dead heat, the net pool shall be calculated and distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets combining either of the place horses; except, if any tickets combine both horses in the dead heat for place, the net pool shall be calculated and distributed as a win pool to holders of such tickets.

(5) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination of a quinella pool, the net pool shall then be apportioned equally between those having tickets including the horse finishing first and those having tickets including the horse finishing second in the same manner in which a place pool is calculated and distributed.

(6) If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of a quinella pool to a winner as defined in this section, the association shall make a complete and full refund of the quinella pool.

(7) If a perfecta or quinella is scheduled to be held, each association shall print an abbreviated version of the rules established by this section on the day's racing program.

(8) If two (2) or three (3) horses coupled in an entry or the mutuel field finish first and second, or first, second, and third, the winning combination shall be the coupled horses and the horse placed immediately behind such entry or field.

Section 7. Double Perfecta Wagering. (1) The double perfecta shall be a form of pari-mutuel wagering in which the bettor selects the two (2) horses that will finish first and second in each of two (2) consecutive races in the exact order as officially posted.

(2) Double perfecta tickets shall be sold only at double perfecta windows and only from automatic double issue machines.

(3) Each bettor purchasing double perfecta tickets shall designate his two (2) selections as the first two (2) horses to finish in that order in the first of two (2) consecutive races.

(4) After the official declaration of the first two (2) horses to finish in the first race of the double perfecta, each bettor holding a ticket combining the first two (2) horses in the exact order of finish shall, prior to the running of the second double perfecta race, exchange the ticket at the double perfecta window and shall select the two (2) horses to finish in the second race of the double perfecta in the exact order as officially posted. Further money shall not be required of the holder of the ticket to make the exchange.

(5) A double perfecta exchange ticket upon the second race shall not be issued except upon the exchange of the double perfecta ticket from the first race pursuant to subsection (4) of this section. The double perfecta pool obtained from the sales of double perfecta tickets upon the first race shall be held and divided among the winning tickets of the double perfecta exchange tickets, subject to the rules established by this section. Double perfecta windows shall be open to make the exchange only after the first race has been declared official.

(6) If a winning double perfecta ticket from the first race is not presented for exchange within the time provided, the bettor shall forfeit all rights to any distribution or refund unless the second half of the double perfecta is cancelled or declared "no race".

(7) If a horse is scratched in the first race of the double perfecta races, all double perfecta tickets on the scratched horse shall be refunded.

(8) If a horse is scratched in the second race of the double perfecta, after the first race of the double perfecta has been declared official, all exchange tickets combining the scratched horse shall become consolation tickets and shall be paid a price per dollar denomination calculated as follows: the net double perfecta pool (gross pool less commission) shall be divided by the total purchase price of all tickets combining the winners of the first race of the double perfecta. The quotient thus obtained shall be the price to be paid to holders of exchange tickets combining the scratched horse in the second race of the double perfecta. The entire consolation pool (number of eligible tickets times the consolation price) shall be deducted from the net double perfecta pool.

(9) If no double perfecta ticket is sold as a winning combination in the first race of the double perfecta, the double perfecta pool shall be divided among those having tickets including the horse finishing first and those having tickets including the horse finishing second and the distributions shall be calculated and made as a place pool. If that occurs, the double perfecta race shall end and the pool shall be closed for the day.

(10) If no double perfecta exchange ticket is sold on the winning combination, the net pool shall then be apportioned equally between those having tickets including the horse finishing first and those having tickets including the horse finishing second in the same manner by which a place pool is calculated and distributed.

(11) If a double perfecta exchange ticket combines only one (1) of the two (2) winners and no double perfecta exchange ticket combines the other winner, the entire pool shall be distributed as a straight pool to the holders of those tickets.

(12) If no exchange ticket includes either the first or second horse of the second half of the double perfecta, the entire net pool shall be distributed as a straight pool to all holders of exchange tickets.

(13) If there is a dead heat for place in the first race of the double perfecta races, all double perfecta tickets combining the first horse and either of the place horses shall be eligible for exchange for double perfecta exchange tickets.

(14) If there is a dead heat for place in the second race of the double perfecta, the double perfecta pool shall be divided, calculated, and distributed as a place pool to the holders of double perfecta exchange tickets combining the first horse and either of the place horses. If there is a dead heat to place and there are no tickets sold on one (1) combination, then the other combination having the winning horses shall be declared the winner. If no exchange tickets combine the winning horse with either of the place horses in the dead heat, the double perfecta pool shall be calculated and distributed as a win pool to holders of tickets representing any interest in the net pool.

(15) If for any reason the second of the double perfecta races is cancelled or declared "no race", the pool shall be calculated as a straight pool and shall be distributed among the holders of the tickets combining the first two (2) horses of the first race of the double perfecta otherwise eligible for double perfecta exchange tickets and also distributed to holders of the double perfecta exchange tickets.

(16) If there is a dead heat for the winning horse in either of the two (2) consecutive races for the double perfecta, the calculation of the distribution of the double perfecta pool shall be made in the manner in which any ordinary perfecta pool would be made if there was a dead heat for the win despite the number of horses involved in the dead heat.

(17) The purchase of double perfecta tickets other than through pari-mutuel machines and the sale of double perfecta tickets from one (1) individual to another shall be deemed illegal and shall be prohibited.

Section 8. Big Q Rules. (1) Each operator wishing to conduct Big Q wagering shall first petition the commission for permission to do so.

Further money shall not be required of the holder of the ticket to make the exchange.

(f) A Big Q exchange ticket upon the second race shall not be issued except upon the surrender of the Big Q ticket from the first race pursuant to paragraph (f) of this subsection. The Big Q pool obtained from the sales of the Big Q tickets upon the first race shall be held and divided among the winning tickets of the Big Q exchange tickets, pursuant to the rules established by this section. Big Q windows shall be open to make the exchange only after the first race has been declared official and the windows shall close at post time at the start of the second race of the Big Q races.

(g) If a winning Big Q ticket from the first race is not presented for exchange within the time provided, the bettor shall forfeit all rights to any distribution or refund unless the second half of the Big Q is cancelled or declared "no race", or if no exchange ticket includes either the first or second horse of the second half of the Big Q.

(h) If a horse is scratched in the first race, all Big Q tickets on the scratched horse shall be refunded. If a horse is scratched in the second race, the holders of tickets on the scratched horse shall be entitled to exchange their tickets for another selection. If there is a late scratch, after the exchange windows have closed, all exchange tickets combining the scratched horse shall become consolation tickets and shall be paid a price per dollar denomination calculated as follows: The net Big Q pool (gross pool less commission) shall be divided by the total purchase price of all tickets combining the winnings of the first race of the Big Q. The quotient obtained shall be the price to be paid to holders of exchange tickets combining the scratched horse in the second race of the Big Q. The entire consolation pool (number of eligible tickets times the consolation price) plus the breakage shall be deducted from the net Big Q pool.

(i) If no ticket is sold as a winning combination in the first race of the Big Q, the Big Q pool shall be divided among those having tickets including the horse finishing first or second and the distributions shall be calculated and made as a place pool. If that occurs, the Big Q race shall end and the pool shall be closed for the day.

(j) If no Big Q exchange ticket is sold on the winning combination, the net pool shall be apportioned equally between those having tickets including the horse finishing second in the same manner in which a place pool is calculated and distributed.

(k) If a Big Q exchange ticket combines only one (1) of the winners and no Big Q exchange ticket combines the other winner, the entire pool shall be distributed as a straight pool to the holders of those tickets.

(n) If there is a dead heat for place in the second race of the Big Q races, the pool shall be divided, calculated, and distributed as a place pool to the holders of Big Q exchange tickets combining the first horse and either of the place horses. If there is a dead heat to place and there are no tickets sold on one (1) combination, then the other combination having winning horses shall be declared the winner.

(o) If no exchange tickets combine the winning horse with either of the place horses in the dead heat, the Big Q pool shall be calculated and distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets combining either of the place horses, except if any exchange tickets combine both horses in the dead heat for place, the Big Q pool shall be calculated and distributed as a place pool to holders of such tickets.

(p) If for any reason the first race of the Big Q races is cancelled or declared "no race", a full and complete refund shall be made from the Big Q pool.

(q) If for any reason, the second of the Big Q races is cancelled or declared "no race", the pool shall be calculated as a straight pool and shall be distributed among the holders of tickets combining the first two (2) horses of the first race of the Big Q otherwise eligible for Big Q exchange tickets and also distributed to holders of the Big Q exchange tickets.

(r) If there is a dead heat for the winning horses in either of the two (2) consecutive races for the Big Q, the calculation of the distribution of the Big Q pool shall be made in the manner in which any ordinary quinella pool would be made if there was a dead heat for the win despite the number of horses involved in the dead heat.

(s) If an incorrect exchange ticket is issued during the second half of the Big Q pool, the incorrect exchange ticket shall be turned in to the state auditor prior to the running of the second half. The tickets shall be deducted from both exchange and individual combination totals. The ticket shall be voided and filed with the performance worksheets and a report, including the seller's name and license number, shall be made to the commission of the complete incident.

Section 9. Trifecta Wagering. (1) The trifecta shall be a contract by the purchaser of a ticket combining three (3) horses in a single race, selecting the three (3) horses that will subsequently finish first, second, and third in that race. Payment of the ticket shall be made only to the purchaser who has selected the same order of finish as officially posted.

(2) The trifecta shall not be a parlay and shall have no connection with or relation to the win, place, and show betting and shall be calculated as an entirely separate pool.

(3) Trifecta tickets shall not be sold in less than one (1) dollar denominations.

(4) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination of a trifecta pool, the net pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the win and place finishers in that order. If no ticket is sold combining the win and place finish, the net pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the winner.

(5) If no ticket is sold that requires distribution of the net trifecta pool to a winner pursuant to subsection (4) of this section, the association shall make a full refund of the trifecta pool.

(6) If there is a dead heat or dead heats, all trifecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a horse in a dead heat as finishing in either position dead heated, shall be winning tickets. The payoff shall be calculated as a place pool.

(7) If there is a scratch in the trifecta, no exchanges shall be made. All tickets which include the scratched horse shall be eliminated from further participation in the trifecta pool and shall be refunded.

(8) Those horses constituting an entry of coupled horses or those horses coupled to constitute the field in a race comprising the trifecta shall race as a single wagering interest for the purpose of trifecta pari-mutuel pool calculations and payouts to the public.

(9) Trifecta tickets shall be sold only by the licensee through pari-mutuel machines programmed to print all selections on one (1) ticket. Resale of such tickets from one (1) individual to another shall be prohibited and shall be grounds for ejection.

(10) Each association shall print in heavy type in a conspicuous place in its printed program all the provisions of this section and post printed copies of this section about the track.

(11) For the purpose of trifecta wagering, the trifecta race shall be drawn to consist of six (6) separate wagering interests.

(12) Nothing in this section shall preclude the sale of combination trifecta tickets in the amount of six (6) dollars.

Section 10. Twin Trifecta. The twin trifecta shall be a form of pari-mutuel wagering. It shall not be a parlay and shall not have a connection with or relation to any other pari-mutuel pools made and conducted by an association. The twin trifecta shall not be connected with or related to any win, place, and show pools shown on the totalizator board, and it shall not be governed by any division rules pertaining to the distribution of any other pari-mutuel pools.

(1) In the twin trifecta, the bettor shall select the three (3) horses that will finish first, second, and third in each of the two (2) designated twin trifecta races in the exact order as officially posted.

(5) After the wagering closes for the first half of the twin trifecta, the commissions shall be deducted from the pool pursuant to KRS 138.510. The remaining pool shall then be divided into two (2) separate pools of equal amounts.

(6) The money in the first part of the divided pool shall be distributed to the holders of the twin trifecta tickets selecting the first three (3) horses, in order, on the first designated twin trifecta race, in accordance with this administrative regulation. The term "first part of divided pool" shall mean one-half (1/2) of the net distributive pool of the total money wagered in the twin trifecta on the current program only and, specifically excluded therefrom shall be any carry-over of any special cumulative second race twin trifecta pool from any previous program.

(7) The second part of the divided pool shall be placed in a separate pool to be distributed to holders of second half twin trifecta tickets selecting the first three (3) horses, in order, on the second designated twin trifecta race, in accordance with this administrative regulation.

(8) In the first half of the twin trifecta only, if there is a failure to select, in exact order, the first three (3) horses, payoffs and exchanges shall be made on twin trifecta tickets selecting in the following order of priority:

(a) The first two (2) horses in exact order, if no such ticket is outstanding, then;

(b) The first horse, and any ticket within the applicable above order of priority shall be deemed a winning ticket entitling the holder thereof to an exchange ticket, in addition to the usual payoff for first half winners; and

(c) Failure to select winner to win, regardless of the selection of the exact order of the second or third horse shall cause a refund to all twin trifecta tickets.

(9) After the official declaration of the first three (3) horses to finish in the first race of the twin trifecta, each bettor holding a winning ticket shall, prior to the running of the second twin trifecta race, exchange the winning ticket for both the monetary value established by the association's mutuel department and a twin trifecta exchange ticket and shall select the three (3) horses to finish in the second race of the twin trifecta in exact order as officially posted. Further money shall not be required of the holder of the winning ticket in order to make the exchange. Each association conducting the twin trifecta shall designate all windows to be used as exchange windows unless the first half payoff is $900 or more in winnings (if such winnings are at least 300 times the amount of the single wager). If that occurs, valid exchange tickets shall be exchanged only at all windows designated IRS windows.

(10) A twin trifecta exchange ticket upon the second race of the twin trifecta shall not be issued except upon surrender of the winning twin trifecta ticket from the first race of the twin trifecta pursuant to subsection (9) of this section. Windows for the purpose of cashing and exchanging twin trifecta tickets shall be open only after the first race of the twin trifecta has been declared official and windows shall close when wagering closes for the race designated as the second half of the twin trifecta. More than one (1) race shall not elapse between the race designated the first half of the twin trifecta and the race designated as the second half of the twin trifecta.

(11) If a winning twin trifecta ticket from the first race is not presented for cashing and exchange with the time provided, the bettor may still collect the monetary value attached to the ticket but shall forfeit all rights to any distribution of the second race twin trifecta pool and the carry-over jackpot.

(12) If a horse is scratched from the first race of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta tickets on the scratched horse shall be refunded. If a horse is scratched from the second race of the twin trifecta, public address announcements shall be made and a reasonable time shall be given for exchange of tickets on the scratched horse.

(13) If there is a dead heat in either the first or second half of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish counting a horse in a dead heat as finishing in any position dead heated shall be winning tickets. If there is a dead heat occurring in the first half, the payoff shall be calculated as a win pool. If there is a dead heat occurring in the second half, contrary to the usual pari-mutuel practice, the aggregate number of winning tickets shall be divided into the net pool and be paid the same payoff price.

(14) If there is no twin trifecta ticket issued accurately selecting the officially declared first three (3) finishers of the second race, the pool, as divided earlier, shall be held for the next consecutive program and combined with that program's second race twin trifecta pool. This sum shall be termed the "carry-over jackpot". Distribution of the special cumulative second race twin trifecta pool shall be made only upon the accurate selection, in exact order, of the first three (3) officially declared finishers of the second twin trifecta race except on the closing program of the meeting pursuant to subsection (16) of this section.

(15) If for any reason the second half of the twin trifecta is not declared "official", the winning ticket holders who have cashed their tickets on the first half and have received an exchange ticket shall be entitled to the remaining amount of the current program's divided pool.

(16) On the closing program of the meeting, the current carry-over jackpot, if any, plus the second half pool for that program shall be combined and distributed in the following manner:

(a) The total twin trifecta pool shall be distributed to the holders of twin trifecta exchange tickets showing the first three (3) horses to finish, in exact order.

(b) If there are no twin trifecta exchange tickets showing the first three (3) horses, in the exact order, the payoff shall be made on twin trifecta exchange tickets selecting the first two (2) horses in exact order.

(c) If there is no twin trifecta exchange ticket showing the first two (2) horses in exact order, the first horse, and any ticket within the applicable above order of priority shall be deemed a winning ticket entitling the holder to the total twin trifecta pool.

(d) If there are no valid exchange ticket holders, the total twin trifecta pool shall be distributed to the holders of first half tickets selecting the first two (2) horses in the exact order.

(e) If there are no first half twin trifecta tickets showing the first two (2) horses, the total twin trifecta pool shall be distributed to the holders of first half tickets selecting the horse of the first half of the twin trifecta.

(f) If no ticket is sold that requires the distribution of the net pools as established by this subsection, the association shall equally distribute the total twin trifecta pool to all first half ticket holders.

(17) Sales of twin trifecta tickets other than from the association's ticket- issuing machines or from one (1) individual to another shall be deemed illegal. Exchange tickets shall not be transferable. Persons involved in the unauthorized transfer of exchange tickets shall be ejected.

(a) If no ticket is sold combining the win, place, and show finish, the net pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the win, and place finishers in that order.

(b) If no ticket is sold combining the win and place finish, the net pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the winner.

(6) If no ticket is sold that requires distribution of the net superfecta pool to a winner pursuant to subsection (5) of this section, the association shall make a full refund of the superfecta pool.

(7) If there is a dead heat or dead heats, all superfecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a horse in a dead heat as finishing in either position dead heated, shall be winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated as a place pool.

(8) If there is a scratch in the superfecta, exchanges shall not be made. All tickets which include the scratched horse shall be eliminated from further participation in the superfecta pool and shall be refunded.

(9) Those horses constituting an entry of coupled horses or those horses coupled to constitute the field in a race comprising the superfecta shall race as a single wagering interest for the purpose of superfecta pari-mutuel pool calculations and payouts to the public.

(10) Superfecta tickets shall be sold only by the licensee through pari-mutuel machines programmed to print all sections on one (1) ticket. Resale of the tickets from one (1) individual to another shall be prohibited and shall be grounds for ejection.

(b) If a horse or horses are scratched from a superfecta race and wagering has commenced, the superfecta pool shall remain until there are less than six (6) separate wagering interests.
