NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 230.215(2) grants the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Corporation the authority to regulate conditions under which horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering thereon shall be conducted in Kentucky. KRS 230.361(1) requires the corporation to promulgate administrative regulations governing wagering under the pari-mutuel system of wagering. This administrative regulation establishes the calculation of payouts and the distribution of pools for pari-mutuel wagering on live horse races.
Section 1. Definitions. (1) "Broken consolation price" means the profit per dollar, plus one (1) dollar, rounded down to the break point.(2) "Consolation payout" means a payout to individuals who do not correctly choose all of the selections in a multiple-pick wager, or a payout to individuals who wager on a horse in a multi-pick wager that is subsequently scratched.(3) "Covered betting interest" means a betting interest or combination of betting interests that has been wagered upon.(4) "Gross pool" means the sum of all wagers less refunds.(5) "Individual" means a natural person, at least eighteen (18) years of age, except does not include any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or estate.(6) "Multi-commission pari-mutuel pool" means a pari-mutuel pool where entities accepting wagers use different takeout rates.(7) "Performance" means a specified number of races on a given race day that constitutes a full card of racing.(8) "Profit" means the net pool less the gross amount wagered if using the standard price calculation procedure and the net pool less the net amount wagered if using the net price calculation procedure.(9) "Profit split" means to calculate a payout by splitting a pari-mutuel pool equally between each winning combination and dividing each portion by the number of winning tickets.(10) "Single commission pari-mutuel pool" means a pari-mutuel pool where all entities accepting wagers use the same takeout rate.(11) "Single price pool" means a pari-mutuel pool in which the entire profit is paid to holders of winning tickets after the deduction of the takeout.(12) "Unbroken consolation price" means the profit per dollar plus one (1) dollar.Section 2. General Requirements for Live Horse Races.(1) All pari-mutuel pools for live races shall be separately and independently calculated and distributed. The takeout shall be deducted from each gross pool as stipulated by KRS 230.3615. The remainder of the pool shall be the net pool for distribution as payoff on winning pari-mutuel wagers.(2)(a) Single commission pari-mutuel pools may be calculated using either the standard price calculation procedure or the net price calculation procedure.(b) Multi-commission pari-mutuel pools shall be calculated using the net price calculation procedure.(3) The standard price calculation procedure shall be as follows:(a) Single price pools - Win pool Gross Pool | = | Sum of Wagers on all Betting Interests - Refunds |
Takeout | = | Gross Pool x Percent Takeout |
Net Pool | = | Gross Pool - Takeout |
Profit | = | Net Pool - Gross Amount Bet on Winner |
Profit Per Dollar | = | Profit / Gross Amount Bet on Winner |
$1 Unbroken Price | = | Profit Per Dollar + $1 |
$1 Broken Price | = | $1 Unbroken Price Rounded Down to the Break Point |
Total Payout | = | $1 Broken Price x Gross Amount Bet on Winner |
Total Breakage | = | Net Pool - Total Payout |
(b) Profit split - Place pool. Profit shall be net pool less gross amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers shall split profit 1/2 and 1/2 (place profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each place finisher for two (2) unique prices.(c) Profit split - show pool. Profit shall be net pool less gross amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers shall split profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each show finisher for three (3) unique prices.(4) The net price calculation procedure shall be as follows:(a) Single price pool - Win pool Gross Pool | = | Sum of Wagers on all Betting Interests. Refund |
Takeout | = | Gross Pool x Percent Takeout for Each Source |
Net Pool | = | Gross Pool - Takeout |
Net Bet on Winner | = | Gross Amount Bet on Winner x (1. Percent Takeout) |
Total Net Pool | = | Sum of All Sources Net pools |
Total Net Bet on Winner | = | Sum of All Sources Net Bet on Winner |
Total Profit | = | Total Net Pool - Total Net Bet on Winner |
Profit Per Dollar | = | Total Profit / Total Net Bet on Winner |
$1 Unbroken Base Price | = | Profit Per Dollar + $1 for each source: |
$1 unbroken price | = | $1 Unbroken Base Price x (1 - Percent Takeout) |
$1 Broken Price | = | $1 Unbroken Price Rounded Down to the Break Point |
Total Payout | = | $1 Broken Price x Gross Amount Bet on Winner |
Total Breakage | = | Net Pool - Total Payout |
(b) Profit split - Place pool. Total profit shall be the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers shall split total profit 1/2 and 1/2 (place profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each place finisher for two (2) unique unbroken base prices.(c) Profit split - Show pool. Total profit shall be the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers shall split total profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each show finisher for three (3) unique unbroken base prices.(5) Each association shall disclose the following in its license application, incorporated by reference in 810 KAR 3:010:(a) Which price calculation method it will use for single commission pari-mutuel pools;(b) The ticket denominations for each type of pari-mutuel wager;(c) The procedures for refunds of pari-mutuel wagers;(d) The takeout for each type of pari-mutuel wager;(e) Which pari-mutuel wagers will include carryover and consolation pools and the percentages of the net pool assigned to each; and(f) For each type of pari-mutuel wagering involving more than one (1) live horse race, the procedures to be used if a race is cancelled.(6) The individual pools described in this administrative regulation may be given alternative names by each association if prior approval is obtained from the corporation.(7) A mutuel entry or a mutuel field in any race shall be a single betting interest for the purpose of each of the wagers described in this administrative regulation and the corresponding pool calculations and payouts. If either horse in a mutuel entry, or any horse in a mutuel field, is a starter in a race, the entry or the field selection shall remain as the designated selection for any of the wagers described in this administrative regulation and the selection shall not be deemed scratched.Section 3.

(1) The Pick-(n) shall require the selection of the first place finisher in each of (n)-specified races designated by the association and approved by the corporation where (n) is any number of races greater than 2. Any changes to the Pick-(n) format shall be approved by the corporation before implementation.(2) The Pick-(n) pari-mutuel pool consists of amounts contributed for a win only selection in each of (n) races designated by the association. Each individual placing a Pick-(n) wager shall designate the winning horse in each of (n) races comprising the Pick-(n).(3) The net Pick-(n) pool shall be apportioned in one the following methods based upon the official order of finish:(a) Method 1, Pick-(n) with Carryover: The net Pick-(n) 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-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are not any of those wagers, then a designated percentage of the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests; and the remainder shall be added to the carryover. Where there is no correct selection of the first-place finisher in at least one of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, the day's net pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool amount, if any, shall be carried over to the next scheduled corresponding pool.(b) Method 2, Pick-(n) with 100 percent Carryover: The net Pick-(n) 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-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are not any of those wagers, then 100 percent of that day's net pool shall be added to the carryover. Where there is no correct selection of the first-place finisher in at least one of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, the day's net pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool amount, if any, shall be carried over to the next scheduled corresponding pool.(c) Method 3, Pick-(n) with Minor Pool and Carryover: The major share of the net Pick-(n) pool and the carryover, if any, shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in the second greatest number of Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher of all Pick-(n) contests, the minor share of the net Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests; and the major share shall be added to the carryover. Where there is no correct selection of the first-place finisher in at least one (1) of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, the day's net pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool amount, if any, shall be carried over to the next scheduled corresponding pool.(d) Method 4, Pick-(n) with No Minor Pool and No Carryover: The net Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no winning wagers, the pool shall be refunded.(e) Method 5, Pick-(n) with Minor Pool and No Carryover: The major share of the net Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish.

If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in a second greatest number of Pick-(n) contests, the minor share of the net Pick-(n) pool shall be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests. If the greatest number of first-place finishers selected is one (1), the major and minor shares shall be combined for distribution as a single price pool. If there are no winning wagers, the pool shall be refunded.(f) Method 6, Pick-(n) with Minor Pool and No Carryover: The major share of net Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the second greatest number of Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in all Pick-(n) contests, the entire net Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in a second greatest number of Pick-(n) contests, the minor share of the net Pick-(n) pool shall be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests. If there are no winning wagers, the pool shall be refunded.(g) Method 7, Pick-(n) with Carryover and "Unique Winning Ticket" Provision: The net Pick-(n) pool and carryover, if any, shall be distributed to the holder of a unique winning ticket that selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are multiple tickets selecting the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contest(s), a share that has been declared by the association and approved by the commission, of the net Pick-(n) shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests and the remaining share shall be added to the carryover. If there are no tickets selecting the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests, then; the entire net Pick-(n) pool shall be added to the carryover. Associations may suspend previously approved unique winning ticket wagering with the prior approval of the commission. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended unique winning ticket wagering is reinstated. Where there is no correct selection of the first-place finisher in at least one (1) of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, the day's net pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool amount, if any, shall be carried over to the next scheduled corresponding pool. In obtaining authorization for operating the Pick-(n) pool under this subsection, associations shall clearly identify which definition under subsection (16)(b) of this section will be relied upon for determining the existence of a unique winning ticket.(4) If there is a dead heat for first place in any of the Pick-(n) races involving contestants representing the same betting interest, the Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.(5) If there is a dead heat for first place in any of the Pick-(n) races involving contestants representing two (2) or more betting interests, the Pick-(n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal share of the profit.(6) If a betting interest is scratched or is designated to run for purse money only from any leg of the Pick-(n), the association shall use the actual favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the Win pool at the host association, for the contest at the close of wagering on that contest, and shall be substituted for the betting interest that was scratched or designated to run for purse money only for all purposes, including pool calculations. If the Win pool total for two (2) or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The totalizator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.(7) If for any reason more than half of the races comprising the Pick-(n) are cancelled or declared a "no contest", and there was no previous carryover amount, wagering on the Pick-(n) shall be cancelled and all wagers shall be refunded.(8) If for any reason more than half of the races comprising the Pick-(n) are cancelled or declared a "no contest", and a previous carryover amount existed, the carryover amount shall be frozen and added to the next scheduled Pick-(n) event. Wagering on the Pick-(n) for the cancelled Pick-(n) wager races shall be cancelled and all wagers shall be refunded.(9) If the condition of the turf course warrants a change of racing surface in any races of the Pick-(n), and the change has not been disclosed to the public prior to "off time" of the first race of the Pick-(n), the stewards shall declare the changed races an "all win" race for Pick-(n) wagering purposes only. An "all win" race shall assign the winner of that race to each Pick-(n) ticket holder as their selection for that race.(10) The Pick-(n) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the corporation so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the Pick-(n) carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the Pick-(n) carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the Pick-(n) carryover is frozen, 100 percent of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the Pick-(n) carryover, shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests for that performance.(11) A written request for permission to distribute the Pick-(n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the corporation. The request shall be for a specified date no greater than one (1) year from the date the request is submitted and contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution.(12) If the Pick-(n) carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests. The Pick-(n) carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances: (a) Upon written approval from the corporation as provided in subsection (11) of this section;(b) Upon written approval from the corporation when there is a change in the carryover cap, a change from one (1) type of Pick-(n) wagering to another, or when the Pick-(n) is discontinued; or(c) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.(13) Notwithstanding subsections (10) and (12) of this section, if for any reason the Pick-(n) carryover must be held over to the corresponding Pick-(n) pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the corporation. The Pick-(n) carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net Pick-(n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance designated by the association and approved by the corporation.(14) With the written approval of the corporation, the association may contribute to the Pick-(n) carryover a sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap.(15) The association may suspend previously-approved Pick-(n) wagering with the prior approval of the corporation. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended Pick-(n) wagering is reinstated. An association may request approval of a Pick-(n) wager or separate wagering pool for specific performances.(16) As it relates to any distribution method under subsection (3)(g) of this section which contains a unique winning ticket provision:(a) A written request for permission to distribute the Pick-(n) unique winning ticket carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the corporation. The request shall contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution. If the Pick-(n) unique winning ticket net pool and any applicable carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there is no unique winning ticket, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick-(n) contests.(b) Associations shall clearly identify which selection under subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph will be relied upon for determining the existence of a unique winning ticket:1. There is one (1) and only one (1) winning ticket that correctly selected the first place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, to be verified by the unique serial number assigned by the tote company that issued the winning ticket; or2. The total amount wagered on one (1) and only one (1) winning combination selecting the first-place finisher in each of the Pick-(n) contests, based up on the official order of finish, is equal to the minimum allowable wager.(17)(a) Each association shall disclose in its license application whether it intends to schedule Pick-(n) races and, if so, shall disclose:1. The percentage of the pool to be retained for the winning wagers, and2. The designated amount of any cap to be set on the pool to be retained for the winning wagers.(b) Any changes to the Pick-(n) scheduling shall require prior approval from the corporation or its designee.(18) An association may request permission from the corporation to distribute the Pick-(n) carryover on a specific performance. The request shall contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution.(19) Upon written approval of the corporation, a sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap may be contributed to the Pick-(n) carryover by an association. The association may supply information to the general public regarding the winning dollars in the Pick-(n) pool. The information shall not be selectively distributed. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.Section 15. Twin Trifecta Pools.
