RULE §321.316Odd-Even

(a) The odd-even is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to the win, place, and show pools shown on the tote board. The odd-even is a separate pool and shall be calculated as a win pool.

(b) A person purchasing an odd-even ticket shall designate "odd" or "even". An "odd" ticket represents a wager on each race animal with an odd number as listed in the official program. An "even" ticket represents a wager on each race animal with an even number as listed in the official program.

(c) If the race animal finishing first has an odd program number, the odd-even pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets designating odd. If the race animal finishing first has an even program number, the odd-even pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets designating even.

(d) Except as otherwise provided by this subsection, if after wagering has begun an animal entered in an odd-even race is scratched or otherwise prevented from racing, there will be no refund. The association, with the approval of the stewards or racing judges, may cancel the odd-even pool and refund all money in the pool if there are less than three odd program number race animals or less than three even program number race animals participating in a race.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if a race ends in a dead heat for first place between a race animal with an odd program number and a race animal with an even program number, the program number of the third place finishing animal will determine the winners of the odd-even pool. If there is a dead heat for third place between a race animal with an odd program number and a race animal with an even program number, the program number of the fifth place finishing animal will determine the winners of the odd-even pool. If a race ends a dead heat for first place between three race animals, the type of program number of the majority of the animals involved in the dead heat will determine the winners of the odd-even pool.
