DIVISION 2DISTRIBUTION OF PARI-MUTUEL POOLS
RULE §321.308Quinella

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

(b) A quinella ticket is for the win and place combination only. When purchasing a quinella ticket, the patron shall select the two animals to be the top two finishers.

(c) 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. For purposes of this section, if a part of the entry or field finishes first, the order of finish of the other animals in the entry or field shall be disregarded in determining which animal finished second.

(d) If after wagering has begun an animal entered in a quinella race is scratched or otherwise prevented from racing, all money wagered on the affected animal shall be deducted from the quinella pool and refunded to the holders of tickets on the affected animal.

(e) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination in a quinella race, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the winning animal and all quinella tickets bearing the number of the second place animal are considered winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated in the same manner as a place pool.

(f) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination in a race and no quinella ticket bears the number of the winner, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the second place animal are considered winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated as a win pool.

(g) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination in a race and no quinella tickets bear the number of the second place animal, all quinella tickets bearing the number of the winner are considered winning tickets and the payoff shall be calculated as a win pool.

(h) If only one animal finishes in a quinella race, the entire pool is distributed as a win pool for the persons who wagered on the winner.

(i) If a quinella race ends in a dead heat for first place, all animals finishing first are the winners of the race and the pool shall be distributed as a place pool.

(j) If a quinella race ends in a two-animal dead heat for second place, the entire pool is distributed as a place pool. If a quinella race ends in a multiple-animal dead heat for second place, all combinations that couple the winning animal with any of the second place animals are winners of the quinella and the pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

(k) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination in a quinella race and no quinella tickets bear the number of either the winner or the second place animal, the quinella is considered "no contest" and the association shall carry forward all money wagered in the quinella pool to the next consecutive quinella pool.
