61D-7.009. Quinella Double

(1) The Quinella Double requires selection of the first two finishers, irrespective of order, in each of two consecutive contests. Wagers for the Quinella Double must be placed prior to the first of the two consecutive contests and include the selection of the first two finishers for both contests and shall be printed on a single pari-mutuel ticket.

(2) The net Quinella Double pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

(a) As a single price pool to those who selected the first two finishers in each of the two Quinella Double contests, if there are no such wagers,

(b) As a profit split to those who selected the first two finishers in either of the two Quinella Double contests and at least one of the first two finishers in the other contest, if there are no such wagers,

(c) As a profit split to those who selected the first two finishers in either of the two Quinella Double contests, if there are no such wagers,

(d) As a single price pool to those who selected the first two finishers in the one covered Quinella Double contest, if there are no such wagers,

(e) The entire Quinella Double pool shall be refunded for those contests.

(f) If the pool is distributed under the precedents of paragraph (2)(b), (c) or (d) an announcement shall be made to the public as to the possible winning quinella double combinations and to hold all possible winning tickets.

(3) If a coupled entry or mutuel field finishes as the first two contestants in either contest, the coupled entry or mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish, as well as the first two finishers in the other Quinella Double contest shall constitute the winning combination.

(4) If there is a dead heat for first in either of the two Quinella Double contests involving:

(a) Contestants representing the same betting interest, the Quinella Double pool shall be distributed to those selecting the coupled entry or mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish for that contest, as well the first two finishers in the other half of the Quinella Double contest.

(b) Contestants representing two betting interests, the Quinella Double pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

(c) Contestants representing three or more betting interests, the Quinella Double pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

(5) If there is a dead heat for second in either of the Quinella Double contests involving contestants representing the same betting interest, the Quinella Double pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

(6) If there is a dead heat for second in either of the Quinella Double contests involving contestants representing two or more betting interests and there is no wager as indicated in paragraph (2)(a), the Quinella Double pool shall be distributed as a profit split as follows:

(a) To those who selected two of the contestants in the dead heat and the first finishers in the opposite contest comprising the Quinella Double, if there are no such wagers, then

(b) To the selections as indicated in the preceding paragraphs (2)(b), (c), (d) and (e) within this rule.

(7) Should a betting interest in either the first or second half of the Quinella Double be scratched prior to the start of the first Quinella Double contest, all money wagered on combinations involving the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the pool and refunded.

(8) Should a scratch or scratches occur in the second half of the Quinella Double after the close of wagering in the first Quinella Double contest, those wagers which correctly selected the two winning betting interests in the first contest, combined with one winner and a scratched betting interest or two scratched betting interests in the second half, shall be awarded consolation prices.

(a) The consolation payoff shall be calculated as a single price pool as if the Quinella Double had ended with the first contest. The resulting price shall be the price per dollar assigned to those wagers eligible for a consolation price. The aggregate of the consolation prices shall be deducted from the Quinella Double net pool. The remaining net pool will be distributed to the regular winning wagers as per the priorities in subsection (2).

(b) Wagers eligible for a regular payoff or refund under the priorities indicated in subsection (2) or under the canceled contest provisions in subsection (8) shall not be eligible for consolation payoffs.

(9) If for any reason either Quinella Double contest is canceled or declared “no contest” by the judges or stewards, then the net pool shall be distributed to those who correctly selected the two winning betting interests of the one Quinella Double contest conducted. However, in greyhound and horse racing only, if the first contest is canceled or declared “no contest,” any wager containing a scratched betting interest in the second contest shall be refunded.
