Title 35 - HORSE RACING
Part XIII - Wagering
Chapter 105 - Daily Double
Section XIII-10515 - Coupled Horses Not Starting

A. If any horse in the first half of the daily double not coupled with a starter is scratched or excused by the stewards, or if it is determined by the stewards that any horse not so coupled has been prevented from racing because of the failure of the stall doors of the starting gate to open, all money wagered on such horse shall be deducted from the daily double pool and shall be refunded upon presentation and surrender of pari-mutuel tickets sold thereon.

B. Should any horse in the second half of the daily double not coupled with a starter be scratched or excused by the stewards, or if it be determined by such stewards that any horse not so coupled has been prevented from racing because of failure of the stall gate to open, then all tickets combining the scratched horse with the actual winner of the first race in the daily double shall become consolation tickets and shall be paid a price per dollar denomination calculated as follows.

"The net daily double pool (gross pool less commission) shall be divided by the total purchase price of all tickets combining the winner of the first half and the quotient thus obtained shall be the price to be paid to holders of consolation tickets. The entire consolation pool shall be deducted from the net daily double pool."
