New Jersey Administrative Code
Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY
Chapter 70 - HORSE RACING
Subchapter 29 - MUTUELS
Section 13:70-29.57 - Pick-Seven

1. Wagers select first-place finishers for seven Breeders' Cup races. The net pool is divided into major (75 percent) and minor (25 percent) shares. The major share is distributed to the ticket(s) correctly selecting the first-place finishers in all seven races and calculated using the net pool pricing method. The minor share is distributed to tickets correctly selecting the first-place finishers in the most (but not all) of the seven races and calculated using the net pool pricing method.

2. To determine the net pool, there shall be a deduction from gross wagers in each jurisdiction in an amount equal to the applicable takeout for that jurisdiction. The remaining amount of the wagers from all jurisdictions is combined to form the total net pool, on the basis of which a base payout price is determined. Each jurisdiction's winning payout price is determined by applying that jurisdiction's takeout rate to the base price. Each jurisdiction's individual rules relating to breakage and uncashed winning tickets shall also apply. Any other questions that arise not specifically covered in this section shall be covered by the rules of racing of the New Jersey Racing Commission.

1. If there is a dead heat for first in any race, the winning combinations shall include all wagers selecting any dead heat finishes.

1. If no ticket is sold correctly selecting the seven first-place finishers, then the entire net pool will be distributed to the wagers selecting the most official winners of the seven Breeders' Cup races.

1. If three or more races are cancelled, then the entire Pick-Seven pool shall be refunded.

1. In the event that one or more of the races, comprising the Pick-Seven, is cancelled for any reason, the distribution of the net amount subject to distribution in the Pick-Seven pool shall be among the holders of the pari-mutuel tickets which currently designate the most official winners in all remaining races comprising the Pick-Seven.

1. As long as at least one horse remains within an entry or the field, that betting interest will not be deemed a scratch. If a betting interest is scratched or declared a non-starter, the actual favorite as evidenced by Breeders' Cup host track win pool at the start of the race will be substituted. If the win pool amounts are equal, the substitute will be the lowest program numbered betting interest.
