Section 09.10.02.48 - Quinellas

A. Each association shall either print in the daily program or prominently post at all areas where quinella wagering is conducted, the following conditions:

(1) An exchange of tickets, after the purchaser has left the sales window, may not be made.

(2) The quinella is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the "tote" betting. All tickets on the quinella will be calculated in an entirely separate pool.

(3) Selections are to be made by program number and not by handicap rating number. Large numbers appearing on the quinella ticket are the program numbers of the horse.

(4) All tickets should be retained until the result of the quinella has been posted.

B. All quinella tickets will be for the win and place combination only.

C. Quinella wagering is not permissible on races containing either a coupled entry or "field horses."

D. If any horse entered in a quinella race is scratched or excused by the judges after wagering has commenced or should any horse be prevented from racing because of failure of the arm of the starting gate to open, all tickets including the horse shall be deducted from the quinella pool and money refunded to the purchasers of tickets on the horse that is excused or prevented from racing.

E. If there are no tickets sold on the winning combination in a quinella race, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the individual win horse and all quinella tickets bearing the number of the individual place horse shall be deemed winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated as a place pool.

F. If there are no tickets sold on the winning combination in a quinella race and should there be no quinella tickets sold bearing the number of the individual win horse, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the individual place horse shall be deemed winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated as a win pool.

G. If there are no tickets sold on the winning combination in a quinella race, and should there be no quinella tickets sold bearing the number of the individual place horse, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the individual win horse shall be deemed winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated as a win pool.

H. If there are no tickets sold on the winning combination in a quinella race, and should there be no quinella tickets sold bearing the number of the individual win horse, and should there be no quinella tickets sold bearing the number of the individual place horse, the quinella shall be deemed "no race," and all moneys in the quinella shall be promptly refunded.

I. If, after an official start is effected, only one horse finishes the quinella race, the total money is figured as a win pool, with those who have picked that one horse in the race participating in the pool.

J. If a two horse dead heat for win results in a quinella race, the two horses involved in the dead heat shall be the winners of the quinella race.

K. If a multiple dead heat for win results in a quinella race, all horses involved in the dead heat shall be winners of the quinella race and payoffs figured accordingly. For example, should numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 dead heat for win, the winning quinella combinations would be 1-3, 1-5, 1-7, 3-5, 3-7, and 5-7. The net pool, after deducting the amounts wagered on the winning combinations, will be equally distributed in payoff calculations on the winning combinations.

L. If a two horse dead heat for place results in a quinella race, the total pool is calculated as a place pool.

M. If a multiple dead heat for place results in a quinella race, all combinations coupling the winning horse with the individual place horse shall be winners of the quinella race and payoffs calculated accordingly.
