Current through March 14, 2024
(a) Rules governing. At tracks which have daily double pool, the rules of this section will govern the system used.
(b) Permitted. Daily double wagering is permitted during any single racing program. An association may not hold more than one daily double on a single racing program unless express written consent shall be given thereto by the commission upon written application therefor.
(c) Rules printed in program. The rules for daily double shall be printed in the daily racing programs sold to the public within the premises of racing associations.
(d) No exchange of tickets. There positively shall be no exchange of tickets after the purchaser thereof has left the sales window.
(e) Not a parlay. The daily double is not a "parlay" and has no connection with or relation to any other pool, and is no part of the win, place and show pools, quinella, exacta, trifecta, superfecta, or other wagering pool. All tickets will be calculated in an entirely separate pool.
(f) Prerequisites. 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 (2) races specified for the daily double. If either of his selections fails to win, he receives no payment, except as hereinafter provided.
(g) Selected by numbers. Selections are to be made of one horse for each of two (2) races in the daily double by program number. Large numbers appearing on the tickets are program numbers of the horses.
(h) Posting the payoff. The possible payoff of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half of the daily double shall be posted in a prominent place easily visible from the grandstand, clubhouse and bleachers 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. However, announcement of this fact must be made over the loud speaker and notice to this effect be posted on the board at the conclusion of the first half of the daily double.
(i) Calculation, distribution of pools. The daily double pool shall be calculated and distributed as follows: the net pool divided by the amount wagered on the winning combinations determines the payoff per dollar bet.
