(a) The twin trifecta wager is not a parlay and has no connection
with or relation to the win, place, and show pools shown on the tote board.
All tickets on the twin trifecta shall be calculated as a separate pool.
(b) The twin trifecta requires selection of the first three
finishers, in exact order, in each of two designated races. Each winning ticket
for the first twin trifecta race must be exchanged for a free ticket on the
second twin trifecta race to remain eligible for the second-half twin trifecta
pool. Such tickets may be exchanged only at designated attended ticket windows
before the start of the second twin trifecta race. Winning first-half twin
trifecta wagers will receive both an exchange and a monetary payout. Both
of the designated twin trifecta races shall be included in one twin trifecta
pool.
(c) After wagering closes for the first-half of the twin trifecta
and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the net pool shall then
be divided equally into two separate pools: the first-half twin trifecta pool
and the second-half twin trifecta pool.
(d) In the first twin trifecta race only, the first-half twin
trifecta pool shall be distributed according to the following precedence,
based on the official order of finish for the first twin trifecta race:
(1) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished
in correct sequence as the first three betting interests; but if there are
no such wagers, then
(2) As a single price pool to those whose combination included,
in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but if there are no
such wagers, then
(3) As a single price pool to those whose combination included,
in correct sequence, the first and third betting interests; but if there are
no such wagers, then
(4) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly
selected the first-place betting interest; but if there are no such wagers,
then
(5) As a single price pool to those whose combination included,
in correct sequence, the second and third betting interests; but if there
are no such wagers, then
(6) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly
selected the second-place betting interest; but if there are no such wagers,
then
(7) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly
selected the third-place betting interest; but if there are no such wagers,
then
(8) The twin trifecta pool shall be canceled and the entire
pool shall be carried forward to the next consecutive performance and combined
with that performance's second-half twin trifecta pool.
(e) If no first-half twin trifecta ticket selects the first
three finishers of that contest in exact order, no exchange tickets for the
second-half twin trifecta pool will be issued. In such case, the second-half
twin trifecta pool shall be carried forward and added to any existing twin
trifecta carryover pool.
(f) A first-half twin trifecta ticket that selects the first
three finishers of that race in exact order may be exchanged for a ticket
selecting the first three finishers of the second twin trifecta race. The
second-half twin trifecta pool shall be distributed according to the following
precedence, based on the official order of finish for the second twin trifecta
race:
(1) As a single price pool, including the carryover, to those
whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three betting
interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(2) The second-half twin trifecta pool for that race shall
be carried forward to the next consecutive performance and shall be combined
with that performance's second-half twin trifecta pool.
(g) If a winning first-half twin trifecta ticket is not presented
for cashing and exchange before the start of the second twin trifecta race,
the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the
first-half twin trifecta pool but forfeits all rights to a distribution of
the second-half twin trifecta pool.
(h) If fewer than six horses of different betting interests
leave the paddock for the first twin trifecta race or fewer than six greyhounds
start the first twin trifecta race, the twin trifecta shall be canceled and
the entire twin trifecta pool for that performance shall be refunded.
(i) Before the running of the first twin trifecta race, if
due to a scratch the second twin trifecta race has fewer than six horses of
different betting interests or fewer than six greyhounds of different betting
interests, the twin trifecta shall be canceled and the entire twin trifecta
pool for that performance shall be refunded.
(j) After the running of the first twin trifecta race, if due
to a late scratch, the second twin trifecta race has fewer than six animals
of different betting interests that start, all exchange tickets and outstanding
first-half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second-half twin trifecta
pool for that performance as a single price pool, but not the twin trifecta
carryover.
(k) Coupled entries and mutuel fields may not be permitted
in a twin trifecta horse race unless there are six or more betting interests.
Coupled entries or mutuel fields in a twin trifecta race shall race as a single
betting interest for the purpose of mutuel pool calculations and payout to
the public.
(l) If a betting interest in the first twin trifecta race is
scratched, all twin trifecta wagers including the scratched betting interest
shall be refunded.
(m) If a betting interest in the second twin trifecta race
is scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable
amount of time shall be provided to exchange tickets that include the scratched
betting interest.
(n) If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either
the first or second twin trifecta race, all twin trifecta wagers selecting
the correct order of finish, counting a betting interest involved in a dead
heat as finishing in any dead-heated position, shall be a winner. In the case
of a dead heat occurring in:
(1) the first twin trifecta race, the payout shall be calculated
as a profit split; and
(2) the second twin trifecta race, the payout shall be calculated
as a single price pool.
(o) If either of the twin trifecta races are canceled before
the first twin trifecta race, or if the first twin trifecta contest is declared
"no contest", the entire twin trifecta pool for that performance shall be
refunded and the second-half pool shall be canceled.
(p) If the second twin trifecta race is canceled or declared
"no contest" on a:
(1) non-designated mandatory payout performance, all exchange
tickets and outstanding first-half winning twin trifecta tickets shall be
entitled to the net twin trifecta pool for that performance as a single price
pool, but not the twin trifecta carryover. If there are no such tickets, the
net twin trifecta pool shall be carried forward to the next consecutive performance
and combined with that performance's second-half twin trifecta pool; and
(2) designated mandatory payout performance, all exchange tickets
and outstanding first-half winning twin trifecta tickets as determined by
subsection (s) of this section shall be entitled to the net twin trifecta
pool for that performance and the twin trifecta carryover as a single price
pool.
(q) An association may file a written request for permission
to distribute the twin trifecta carryover on a specific performance with the
executive secretary. The request must contain justification for the distribution,
an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance
for the distribution.
(r) Notwithstanding subsections (f) and (t) of this section,
on the last performance of a race meeting or on a designated mandatory payout
performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning
tickets for the second-half of the twin trifecta:
(1) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished
in correct sequence as the first three betting interests; but if there are
no such wagers, then
(2) As a single price pool to those whose combination included,
in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but if there are no
such wagers, then
(3) As a single price pool to those whose combination included,
in correct sequence, the first and third betting interests; but if there are
no such wagers, then
(4) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly
selected the first-place betting interest; but if there are no such wagers,
then
(5) As a single price pool to those whose combination included,
in correct sequence, the second and third betting interests; but if there
are no such wagers, then
(6) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly
selected the second-place betting interest; but if there are no such wagers,
then
