Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 22, November 1, 2024

Section 09.10.02.46 - Daily Doubles

A. The pay-off may be posted after the pool closes and before the race completing the double has been run. In the event of a dead heat in the first race of the daily double, posting of the pay-off prices may be deferred until the race completing the daily double has been run.

B. The daily double is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the mutuel betting. All prices on the daily double will be calculated in a separate pool. All tickets will be to win only (straight), except as otherwise provided in this regulation. A "field" may not be permitted in any race involved in the daily double.

C. If no ticket is sold combining the two winners, the daily double pool then shall be apportioned equally between those having tickets including the winner of the first half and those having tickets including the winner of the second half in the same manner in which a "place" pool is calculated.

D. If no ticket is sold including the winner of the first half, the entire pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets which include the winner of the second half.

E. If no ticket is sold including the winner of the second half, then the entire pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets which include the winner of the first half of the daily double.

F. If no ticket is sold including the winner of either half, then the pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets finishing second in the two races of the daily double.

G. If, for any reason, the first half of the daily double is cancelled and declared "no race", a full and complete refund shall be made of the daily double pool. If, for any reason, the second half of the daily double is declared "no race", the daily double pool shall be distributed to the holders of the tickets on the winner of the first half in the same manner as a straight pool.

H. If, after the first half of the daily double has been run and declared "official", a horse is scratched or excused from the second half of the daily double, then a consolation pay-off shall be made to holders of tickets which combine the winner of the first half and the scratched or excused horse. The consolation pay-off shall be calculated as follows:

(1) The net daily double pool (gross pool less commission) shall be divided by the total number of tickets sold combining the winner of the first half;

(2) The quotient thus obtained shall constitute the consolation pay-off to be paid to holders of each ticket combining the winner of the first half and the scratched or excused horse in the second half;

(3) The entire consolation pool (number of eligible tickets times the consolation price), plus the breakage, shall then be deducted from the net daily double pool;

(4) The remaining pool is the new net pool for the daily double.

I. If holders of tickets lose the first half of the daily double and the horse in the second half is scratched or excused, there will be no refund.

J. If no ticket is sold which would require distribution of the daily double pool, the association shall make a complete and full refund of the pool.
