Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 13, September 23, 2024
Subpart 1.
Scope.
An exacta wager combines two horses of separate betting
interests in a single race, selecting the horse that will finish first and the
horse that will finish second in that race in the official order of finish. All
exacta wagers must be calculated in a separate pool.
Subp. 2.
No winning combination
sold.
If no ticket is sold on the winning exacta combination, the net
pool shall be distributed equally among holders of tickets selecting the
winning horse to finish first and holders of tickets selecting the second place
horse to finish second.
Subp.
3.
Dead heats.
The following calculations shall be used in the event of dead
heats.
A. In case of a dead heat
between two horses for first place, the net pool shall be calculated and
distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets of the winning combination.
Example: if numbers 2 and 5 dead heat for win, the winning combination would be
2-5 and 5-2.
B. In case of a dead
heat between two horses for second place, the pool shall be figured as a place
pool, the holders of tickets combining the winning horse and the two horses
finishing second participating in the payoff. Example: if number 2 wins with
numbers 5 and 6 a dead heat for second, the winning combinations would be 2-5
and 2-6.
C. If there is a dead heat
for second place, if no ticket is sold on one of the two winning combinations,
the entire net pool shall be calculated as a win pool and distributed to those
holding tickets on the other winning combination. Example: if number 2 won and
numbers 5 and 6 were a dead heat for second, 2-5 and 2-6 would be the winning
combination. However, if no ticket was sold with a 2-5 combination, the net
pool would be distributed to holders of the 2-6 combination.
D. If no tickets combine the winning horse
with either of the place horses in the dead heat, the pool shall be calculated
and distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets representing any interest
in the net pool. Example: if number 2 won and numbers 5 and 6 were a dead heat
for second, 2-5 and 2-6 would be the winning combinations. However, if no
ticket was sold with the 2-5 or 2-6 combination, the net pool would be
distributed to holders of any ticket with 2 in the win position as part of the
combination with any other number (2-1, 2-3, 2-4, 2-7, 2-8 of an eight horse
field) and to holders of any ticket with 5 or 6 in the place position with any
other number (1-5, 3-5, 4-5, 6-5, 7-5, 8-5, 1-6, 3-6, 4-6, 5-6, 7-6, 8-6 of an
eight horse field).
Subp.
4.
Refund of pool.
A refund of the exacta pool shall occur when:
A. No ticket is sold that would require
distribution of an exacta pool to winners as defined in this part.
B. Only one horse finishes in an exacta
race.
