DIVISION 2DISTRIBUTION OF PARI-MUTUEL POOLS
RULE §321.307Daily Double

(a) The daily double is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the win, place, and show pools shown on the tote board. All daily double tickets shall be calculated in a separate pool.

(b) If any part of a coupled entry or mutuel field is a starter, the association may not refund money wagered under this section to persons wagering on the entry or field, regardless of whether any part of the entry or field failed to start. If either race in the daily double ends in a dead heat for first place, the pool shall be calculated as a place pool in proportion to the number of animals in the dead heat.

(c) If no ticket is sold that correctly selects the winner of both races of the daily double, the entire daily double pool, minus the takeout and the breakage, shall be distributed equally to the holders of tickets which include the winner of either of the daily double races.

(d) If no ticket is sold including the winner of the first race of the daily double, the entire daily double pool, minus the takeout and the breakage, shall be distributed equally to the holders of tickets which include the winner of the second race of the daily double. If no ticket is sold including the winner of the second race of the daily double, the entire daily double pool, minus the takeout and the breakage, shall be distributed equally to the holders of tickets which include the winner of the first race of the daily double.

(e) If no ticket is sold including the winner of either race of the daily double, the entire daily double pool, minus the takeout and the breakage, shall be distributed equally to holders of tickets which include the animals finishing second in the two races of the daily double.

(f) If the first race of a daily double is canceled, the association shall provide a complete refund of the daily double pool. If the second race of a daily double is canceled after the first race has been completed, the entire daily double pool, minus the takeout and the breakage, shall be distributed, in proportion of the amount wagered on those combinations including the winner of the first race of the daily double, to holders of tickets which include the winner of the first race of the daily double in combination with any animal in the second race.

(g) If before the first race of a daily double is run, an animal entered in either race is scratched or otherwise prevented from racing, all money wagered on the affected animal shall be deducted from the daily double pool and refunded to the holders of tickets on the affected animal.

(h) If after the first race of a daily double is run, an animal entered in the second race is scratched or otherwise prevented from racing, a consolation daily double shall be awarded. All tickets which select an animal in the first race with the affected animal in the second race shall be deducted from the daily double pool and this amount shall be placed in a consolation pool. The consolation pool shall be distributed as a straight pool to the holders of tickets who correctly selected the winner of the first race with the affected animal in the second race.

(i) If either race in a daily double ends in a dead heat, the total daily double pool shall be distributed in the same manner as a place pool.

(j) If the daily double pool cannot otherwise be distributed in accordance with this section, the money in the daily double pool shall be carried forward and added to the next consecutive daily double pool.
