8.22.3416    DAILY DOUBLE FEATURE

(1) Two daily doubles will be permitted during a single race day at tracks licensed by the board.

(2) If no ticket is sold combining the two winners of the daily double, the pool shall be apportioned equally between those having tickets including the winner in the first race of the daily double and those having tickets including the winner of the last race of the daily double in the same manner in which place pool is calculated and distributed.

(3) If no ticket is sold including the winner of the first race of the daily double then the entire pool will be paid to the holders of tickets which include the winner of the last race of the daily double.

(4) Likewise, if no ticket is sold including the winner of the last race of the daily double, the entire pool will be paid to the holders of the first race of the daily double.

(5) If no ticket is sold including a winner of either race of the daily double then the pool shall be paid to the holders of tickets which include the horses finishing second in the two races of the daily double.

(6) If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of the daily double pool to a winner under (2) , (3) , (4) , and (5) , the race meet shall make a complete and full refund of the daily double pool.

(7) If for any reason the first race of a daily double is cancelled and declared off, full and complete refund will be made of the daily double pool.

(8) If for any reason, the second race of a daily double is cancelled, or declared off, the whole of the daily double pool shall be distributed as a win pool to the holders of daily double tickets, upon the winner of the first half of the daily double.   If no daily double ticket has been sold upon the winner of the first half of such daily double the total pool shall be distributed as a win pool to the holders of the daily double tickets upon the horse finishing second in the first half of such daily double.

(9) There shall be a refund of daily double wagers in the event of a horse being scratched before the betting on the daily double has closed. (This refund to apply only to wagers on the horse scratched.)

(10) In the event a horse is excused in the second half of the daily double, after the first race is official, all money wagered on the scratched horse in the second half of the daily double shall be deducted from the daily double pool.   Using this money, so deducted, as a win pool, a special or consolation prize shall be paid to all ticket holders, combining the scratched horses with the winner of the first race of the daily double.

(11) Before the running of the race comprising the last half of the daily double there shall be posted in a prominent place, easily visible from the grand stand, club house and bleachers, the pay-off of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half of the daily double.

(12) In case of a dead heat for winner in the first half of the daily double, the pay-off of the daily double need not be posted until after the running of the second half of the daily double, owing to the complicated calculations involved. However, announcement of this fact must be made over the loudspeaker and notice to this effect be posted on the board at conclusion of the first half of the daily double.

(13) If a dead heat should result in either the first or second race of the daily double, the total pool is figured as a place pool.

(14) Sale of daily double tickets shall close not later than "off-time" of the first race of the daily double.

(15) The daily double is not a "parlay" and has no connection with or relation to the pool shown on the totalizator board.   In any race, the win, place, show and daily double pools are treated separately and calculated independently of each other.
