RULE §321.314Superfecta

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

(b) A person purchasing a superfecta ticket shall select the four animals that will finish first, second, third, and fourth in one race. The pool shall be distributed only to the holders of tickets that select the same order of finish as officially posted.

(c) If no superfecta ticket is sold for the winning combination, the pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the win, place, and show finishers. If no ticket is sold combining the win, place, and show finishers, the pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the win and place finishers. If no ticket is sold combining the win and place finishers, the pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the winner. If less than four animals finish and the race is declared official by the stewards or racing judges, the pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets selecting the finishing animals in order, ignoring the balance of the selection.

(d) In the event of a dead heat, all superfecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting an animal in a dead heat as finishing in either position dead heated, shall be winning tickets. The pool shall be distributed as a place pool.

(e) If an animal is scratched in a superfecta race, a superfecta ticket may not be exchanged. All tickets which include a scratched animal shall be eliminated from further participation in the superfecta pool and shall be refunded.

(f) If the superfecta pool cannot otherwise be distributed in accordance with this section, the money in the superfecta pool shall be carried forward to the next consecutive superfecta pool.

(g) An association shall not offer Superfecta wagering on any race placed on the official program that does not have seven or more different wagering interests unless approved by the board of stewards or judges. The board of stewards or judges may not approve a Superfecta wager in a race with fewer than six wagering interests.

(h) In the event scratches after the animals leave the paddock cause the number of different wagering interests to fall below seven, or below an amount previously approved by the board of stewards or judges as outlined in subsection (g) of this section, the board of stewards or judges may order the wager to be canceled and the pool to be refunded if deemed in the interest of wagering integrity.
