| (a) The totalisator operator shall ensure the auto-lock feature
on the totalisator system is engaged at all times the totalisator system is
operating. If the stop betting command from a host racetrack is not received,
the totalisator operator shall issue the "stop betting" command and lock all
wagering on the race at that location.
(b) The association's mutuel manager and the totalisator operator
are responsible for ensuring that all wagering stops at that location when
the "stop betting" command is issued from the host racetrack.
(c) If the link between the totalisator systems at the host
and guest racetracks is lost, the totalisator operator at the guest racetrack
shall lock all pools at the guest racetrack at zero minutes to post.
(d) An association may not permit a wager to be accepted or
a ticket to be cancelled after the "stop betting" command has been issued.
(e) If a wager is accepted after the "stop betting" command
has been issued:
(1) the mutuel manager, before the race is declared official,
shall inform the pari-mutuel auditor that a wager was accepted after the "stop
betting" command was issued; and
(2) the mutuel manager shall decide to either:
(A) refund the wagers accepted after the "stop betting" command
was issued, or
(B) to refund all the wagers made on the race.
(f) A wager accepted after the "stop betting" command is issued
is not considered a valid wager.
