DIVISION 2DISTRIBUTION OF PARI-MUTUEL POOLS
RULE §321.306Show Pool

(a) The takeout authorized by law is deducted from the total wagered in the show pool. The balance is the net pool.

(b) The amount wagered in the show pool on the race animals finishing first, second, and third is deducted from the net pool. The remaining profits are divided into three equal parts, among the wagers in the show pool on the winner, the animal finishing second, and the animal finishing third.

(c) With the amount wagered in the show pool on the winner as a divisor and one-third of the profits of the show pool as a dividend, the quotient is the profit-per-dollar wagered in the show pool on the winner.

(d) With the amount wagered in the show pool on the animal finishing second as the divisor and one-third of the profits of the show pool as the dividend, the quotient is the profit-per-dollar wagered in the show pool on the animal finishing second.

(e) With the amount wagered in the show pool on the animal finishing third as the divisor and one-third of the profits of the show pool as the dividend, the quotient is the profit-per-dollar wagered in the show pool on the animal finishing third.

(f) The profit-per-dollar wagered is the resultant. Because the amounts wagered on the animals finishing first, second, and third must be returned, the amount deducted from the net pool under subsection (b) of this section is added to the quotient. The result is the payoff price for each dollar wagered on the animals finishing first, second, and third in the show pool.

(g) If a race ends in a dead heat for first or second place, the show pool shall be distributed in accordance with subsections (c)-(e) of this section. If a race ends in a dead heat for third place, tickets on the first and second place animals shall be paid in accordance with subsection (c) and (d) and the remaining third of the show pool shall be distributed as a profit for split to holders of tickets on any of the animals finishing in the dead heat for third place.

(h) If no money was wagered in the show pool on an animal finishing first, second, or third in a race, the show pool shall be distributed as a profit for split among the holders of the show tickets on the other animals that finished first, second, or third. If no money was wagered in the show pool on any of the animals finishing first, second, or third in a race, the money in the show pool shall be refunded.
