(a) If the guest racetrack's totalisator system fails to adequately
transmit wagering data to the host racetrack, the host racetrack shall manually
merge the pools if a manual merge will not endanger the pools at the host
racetrack and the host racetrack permits a manual merge.
(b) To merge the pools manually, the guest racetrack's mutuel
manager shall send the host racetrack a facsimile containing the total amount
in the pool, the total dollars on winning wagers, and the total dollars on
losing wagers. When the manual merge is complete, for purposes of declaring
the race official, the totalisator operator at the host racetrack shall notify:
(1) the stewards or racing judges at the host racetrack; and
(2) the presiding steward or racing judge, or the highest ranking
mutuel official if the steward or judge is not on the grounds, at the guest
racetrack.
