12.690 - For the purposes of this section, every reference to “pool” shall mean the net Select (n) pool; every reference to “races” shall mean the races for which the Select (n) pool is created; and every reference to “jackpot” shall mean the Select (n) jackpot.

:1 - At the beginning of each meet, the association must obtain written approval from the Commission concerning the scheduling of Select (n) races, the percentage of the pool to be retained for the jackpot, and the designated amount of any cap to be set on the jackpot. Any subsequent changes to the Select (n) scheduling requires prior approval from the Commission or Director.

:2 - The pool, along with the jackpot, shall be distributed to winning wagers selecting the first‑place finisher in each of the races, based upon the official order of finish; but if there are no such wagers, then

(a) A designated percentage of the pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of races, and

(b) The remainder, if any, of the pool shall be retained and added to the corresponding pool of the next performance. The additional pool resulting from such a carryover shall be termed the “Select (n) jackpot”.

	:3 - If there is a dead heat for first in any of the races involving:

(a) runners representing the same betting interest, the pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

(b) runners representing two or more betting interests, the pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal share of the profit.

:4 - Should a betting interest in any of the races be scratched, the actual favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the Win pool at the close of wagering on that race, shall be substituted for the scratched runner(s) for all purposes, including pool calculations. In the event that the Win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the runner with the lowest program number. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.

Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the jackpot but not the jackpot carryover from previous performances.

:7 - The jackpot shall be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the jackpot equals or exceeds the designated cap, the jackpot will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the jackpot is frozen, 100 percent of the pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the jackpot, shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of races for that performance.

:8 - A written request for permission to distribute the jackpot on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission if it can be demonstrated that such an action would be in the best interest of the wagering public. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution. The benefit to both the public and State will be weighed in determining whether to approve such a request.

:9 - Should the jackpot be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in each of the races, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of races. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in any of the races comprising the Select (n), all tickets will become winners and will receive 100 percent of that day’s pool and any existing jackpot as a single price pool. The jackpot shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

		(a) Upon written approval from the Commission as provided in :8.

(b) Upon written approval from the Commission when there is a change in the jackpot cap, a change from one type of Select (n) wagering to another, or when the Select (n) is discontinued.

		(c) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.

:10 - If, for any reason, the jackpot must be carried over to the corresponding pool of a subsequent meet, the jackpot shall be deposited in an interest‑bearing account approved by the Commission. The jackpot plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net Select (n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the Commission.

:11 - With the written approval of the Commission, the association may contribute to the jackpot a sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap.

:12 - With the exception of the total amount of the pool at the close of Select (n) wagering, the pari‑mutuel system shall suppress all information related to Select (n) wagering activity until the conclusion of the final race comprising the pool. Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of live tickets remaining is strictly prohibited.

:13 - Any stakes race within the State of Colorado wherein the privilege of scratching a single entry from the race extends to within forty‑five (45) minutes of post time shall not be included in any of the races comprising the pool.

:14 - No ticket for the pool shall be sold, exchanged or canceled after the time of the closing of wagering in the first race.

12.770 - For the purposes of this section, every reference to “pool” shall mean the net Twin Trifecta pool; every reference to “races” shall mean the races for which the Twin Trifecta pool is created; and every reference to “jackpot” shall mean the Twin Trifecta jackpot.

:1 - Each winning ticket for the first race must be exchanged for a free ticket on the second race in order to remain eligible for the second‑half pool. Twin Trifecta tickets may be exchanged only at attended ticket windows prior to the second race. The association shall be required to provide one race between the race designated as the first-half and the race designated as the second-half. It shall be the association’s responsibility to provide adequate notice to the wagering public of the deadline for making the exchange. Winning first‑half wagers will receive both a free exchange and a monetary payoff. Both of the designated races shall be included in only one Twin Trifecta pool. The Twin Trifecta will not be conducted in conjunction with any other wager requiring an exchange of tickets. Exchange tickets shall be non‑transferable. Holders of transferred exchange tickets shall not be entitled to any winnings. The persons involved in unauthorized transfer of exchange tickets shall be subject to ejection.

:2 - After wagering closes for the first‑half and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the pool shall then be divided into separate pools: the first‑half pool and the second‑half pool.

:3 - In the first race only, winning wagers shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first race:

(a) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(b) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(c) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first‑place runner only, but if there are no such wagers, then

(d) The entire pool shall be refunded and the second‑half shall be canceled.

:4 - If no first‑half ticket selects the first three finishers of that race in exact order, winning ticket holders shall not receive any exchange tickets for the second‑half pool. In such case, the second‑half pool shall be retained and added to any existing carryover pool.

:5 - Winning tickets from the first‑half shall be exchanged for tickets selecting the first three finishers of the second‑half. The second‑half pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second race:

(a) As a single price pool, including any existing carryover monies, to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three betting interests; but if there are no such tickets, then

(b) The entire second‑half pool for that race shall be added to any existing carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second‑half pool of the next consecutive performance. The additional second‑half monies resulting from such carryover shall
 		be termed the “Twin‑Trifecta jackpot”.

:6 - If a winning first‑half ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second‑half race, the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the first‑half pool but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second‑half pool.

	:7 - Coupled entries and mutuel fields shall be prohibited in Twin Trifecta races.

:8 - Should a runner in the first‑half be scratched, those wagers including the scratched runner shall be refunded.

:9 - Should a runner in the second‑half be scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable amount of time shall be provided for exchange of tickets that include the scratched runner. If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second race, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the second‑half pool.

:10 - If, due to a late scratch, the number of runners in the second‑half is reduced to fewer than the minimum, all exchange tickets and outstanding first‑half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second‑half pool for that race as a single price pool, but not the jackpot.

:11 - If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first‑ or second‑half, all wagers selecting the correct order of finish, counting a runner involved in a dead heat as finishing in any dead‑heated position, shall be a winner. In the case of a dead heat occurring in:

		(a) the first‑half, the payoff shall be calculated as a profit split.

		(b) the second‑half, the payoff shall be calculated as a single price pool.

:12 - If either races are canceled prior to the first race, or the first race is declared a “no race”, the entire pool shall be refunded and the second‑half shall be canceled.

:13 - If the second‑half race is canceled or declared a “no race”, all exchange tickets and outstanding first‑half winning tickets shall be entitled to the pool for that race as a single price pool, but not the jackpot. If there are no such tickets, the pool shall be distributed as described in :3.

:14 - The jackpot shall be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the jackpot equals or exceeds the designated cap, the jackpot will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the jackpot is frozen, 100 percent of the pool for each individual race shall be distributed to winners of the first-half of the pool.

:15 - A written request for permission to distribute the jackpot on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission if it can be demonstrated that such an action would be in the best interest of the wagering public. The request must contain justification for the
distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived and the intended date and performance for the distribution. The benefit to both the public and State will be weighed in determining whether to approve such a request.

:16 - The jackpot shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances.

		(a) Upon written approval from the Commission as provided in :15.

(b) Upon written approval from the Commission when there is a change in the jackpot cap or when the Twin Trifecta is discontinued.

		(c) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.

:17 - Should the jackpot be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning tickets for the second‑half after completion of the first‑half:

(a) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(b) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(c) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first‑place runner; but if there are no such wagers, then

		(d) As a singe price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets.

		(e) As a single price pool to holders of outstanding first‑half winning tickets.

:18 - Contrary to :4, during a performance designated to distribute the jackpot, exchange tickets will be issued for those combinations selecting the greatest number of betting interests in their correct order of finish for the first‑half. If there are no such wagers, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first‑ and second place betting interests. If there are no such wagers, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first‑place betting interest only. If there are no wagers selecting the first‑place betting interest only in the first‑half, all first‑half tickets will become winners and will receive 100 percent of that day’s pool and any existing jackpot as a single price pool.

:19 - If the Twin Trifecta carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence shall be followed in the event of a “no race” in either contest:

(a) If the first-half Twin Trifecta contest is canceled or declared a “no race”, all first-half tickets shall be considered as winners, eligible for exchange tickets in the 
second-half, and receive no monetary payoff contrary to Section :1 above. All of the day’s net pool shall be added into the carryover jackpot.

(b) If the second-half Twin Trifecta contest is canceled or declared a “no race”, all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning Twin Trifecta tickets shall be entitled to the net Twin Trifecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, including the Twin Trifecta carryover.

:20 - If, for any reason, the jackpot must be carried over to the corresponding pool of a subsequent meet, the jackpot shall be deposited in an interest‑bearing account approved by the Commission. The jackpot plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second‑half pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the Commission

:21 - With the exception of the total amount of the pool at the close of first‑half wagering, the pari‑mutuel system shall suppress all information related to Twin Trifecta wagering activity until the conclusion of the second‑half race. Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of valid exchange tickets is STRICTLY prohibited.

:22 - At the beginning of each meet the association must obtain written approval from the Commission concerning the scheduling of races, the percentages of the net pool added to the first‑half pool and second‑half pool, and the designated amount of the cap to be set on the jackpot. Any subsequent changes to scheduling, percentages or jackpot caps require prior approval from the Commission or Director.

:23 - No more than two (2) entries shall be allowed in each race comprising the Twin Trifecta from the same kennel, stable, trainer, or any combination of the above.

12.780 - For the purposes of this section, every reference to “pool” shall mean the net Tri‑Superfecta pool; every reference to “races” shall mean the races for which the Tri‑Superfecta pool is created; and every reference to “jackpot” shall mean the Tri‑Superfecta jackpot.

:1- Each winning ticket for the first race must be exchanged for a free ticket on the second race in order to remain eligible for the second‑half pool. Tri-Superfecta tickets may be exchanged only at attended ticket windows prior to the second race. Winning first‑half tickets will receive both an exchange and a monetary payoff. Both of the designated races shall be included in only one pool. The association shall be required to provide one race between the race designated as the first-half and the race designated as the second-half.

:2 - After wagering closes for the first‑half and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the pool shall then be divided into two separate pools: the first‑half pool and the
 	second‑half pool.

:3 - In the first race only, winning tickets shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first race:

(a) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(b) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(c) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first‑place runner only, but if there are no such wagers, then

		(d) The entire pool shall be refunded and the second‑half shall be canceled.

:4 - If no first‑half ticket selects the first three finishers of that race in exact order, winning ticket holders shall not receive any exchange tickets for the second‑half pool. In such case, the second‑half pool shall be retained and added to any existing carryover pool.

:5 - Winning tickets from the first‑half shall be exchanged for tickets selecting the first four finishers of the second‑half. The second‑half pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second race:

(a) As a single price pool, including any existing carryover monies, to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four betting interests; but if there are no such tickets, then

(b) The entire second-half pool for that race shall be added to any existing carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second-half pool of the next performance. The additional second-half monies resulting from such a carryover shall be termed the “Tri-Superfecta jackpot”.

:6 - If a winning first-half ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second-half race, the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the first-half pool but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second-half pool.

	:7 - Coupled entries and mutuel fields shall be prohibited in Tri-Superfecta races.

:8 - No more than two (2) entries shall be allowed in each race comprising the tri-superfecta from the same kennel, stable, trainer, or any combination of the above.

	:10 - No more than one Tri-Superfecta race will be allowed per performance.

:11 - Should a runner in the first-half be scratched, those tickets including the scratched runner shall be refunded.

:12 - Should a runner in the second-half be scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable amount of time shall be provided for exchange of tickets that include the scratched betting interest. If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second race, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the second-half pool.

:13 - If, due to a late scratch, the number of runners in the second-half is reduced to fewer than the minimum, all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second-half pool for that race as a single price pool, but not the jackpot.

:14 - If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first‑ or second‑half, all tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a runner involved in a dead heat as finishing in any dead‑heated position, shall be a winner. In the case of a dead heat occurring in:

		(a) the first‑half, the payoff shall be calculated as a profit split.

		(b) the second‑half, the payoff shall be calculated as a single price pool.

:15 - If either of the races are canceled prior to the first race or the first race is declared a “no race”, the entire pool shall be refunded and the second‑half shall be canceled.

:16 - If the second‑half race is canceled or declared a “no race”, all exchange tickets and outstanding first‑half winning tickets shall be entitled to the pool for that race as a single price pool, but not the jackpot. If there are no such tickets, the pool shall be distributed as described in :3.

:17 - The jackpot shall be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the jackpot equals or exceeds the designated cap, the jackpot will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the second‑half jackpot is frozen, 100 percent of the pool for each individual race shall be distributed to winners of the first‑half.

:18 - A written request for permission to distribute the jackpot on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission if it can be demonstrated that such an action would be in the best interest of the wagering public. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution. The benefit to both the public and State will be weighed in determining whether to approve such a request.

:19 - The jackpot shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

		(a) Upon written approval from the Commission as provided in :18.

(b) Upon written approval from the Commission when there is a change in the jackpot cap or when the Tri‑Superfecta is discontinued.

		(c) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.

:20 - Should the jackpot be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning tickets for the second‑half after completion of the first‑half:

(a) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(b) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(c) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(d) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first‑place runner; but if there are no such wagers, then

		(e) As a single price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets.

		(f) As a single price pool to holders of outstanding first‑half winning tickets.

:21 - Contrary to :4, during a performance designated to distribute the jackpot, exchange tickets will be issued for those combinations selecting the greatest number of betting interests in their correct order of finish for the first‑half. If there are no such wagers correctly selecting the first three finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first‑ and second‑place betting interests. If there are no such wagers, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first‑place betting interest only. If there are no such wagers, then all first‑half tickets will become winners and will receive 100 percent of that day’s pool and any existing jackpot as a single price pool.

:22 - If the Tri-Superfecta carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence shall be followed in the event of a “no race” in either contest:

(a) If the first-half Tri-Superfecta contest is canceled or declared a “no race”, all first-half tickets shall be considered as winners, eligible for exchange tickets in the second-half, and receive no monetary payoff contrary to Section :1 above. All of the day’s net pool shall be added into the carryover jackpot.

(b) If the second-half Tri-Superfecta contest is canceled or declared a “no race”, all 
exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning Tri-Superfecta tickets shall be 
entitled to the net Tri-Superfecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, including the Tri-Superfecta carryover.

:23 - If, for any reason, the jackpot must be carried over to the corresponding pool of a subsequent meet, the jackpot shall be deposited in an interest‑bearing account approved by the Commission. The jackpot plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second‑half pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the Commission.

:24 - With the exception of the total amount of the pool at the close of first‑half wagering, the pari‑mutuel system shall suppress all information related to Tri‑Superfecta wagering activity until the conclusion of the second‑half. Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of valid exchange tickets is STRICTLY prohibited.

:25 - At the beginning of each meet the association must obtain written approval from the Commission concerning the scheduling of Tri‑Superfecta races, the percentages of the pool added to the first‑half pool and second‑half pool, and the designated amount of the cap to be set on the jackpot. Any subsequent changes to the Tri‑Superfecta scheduling, percentages or jackpot cap require prior approval from the Commission.

12.790 - For the purposes of this section, every reference to “pool” shall mean the net Twin Superfecta pool; every reference to “races” shall mean the races for which the Twin Superfecta pool is created; and every reference to “jackpot” shall mean the Twin Superfecta jackpot.

:1 - Each winning ticket for the first race must be exchanged for a free ticket on the second race in order to remain eligible for the second‑half pool. Twin Superfecta tickets may be exchanged only at attended ticket windows prior to the second race. Winning first‑half tickets will receive both an exchange and a monetary payoff. Both of the designated races shall be included in only one pool. The association shall be required to provide one race between the race designated as the first-half and the race designated as the second-half.

:2 - After wagering closes for the first‑half and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the pool shall then be divided into two separate pools: the first‑half pool and the second‑half pool.

:3 - In the first race only, winning wagers shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first race:

(a) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(b) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(c) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(d) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first‑place runner only; but if there are no such wagers, then

		(e) The entire pool shall be refunded and the second‑half shall be canceled.

:4 - If no first‑half ticket selects the first four finishers of that race in exact order, winning ticket holders shall not receive any exchange tickets for the second‑half pool. In such case, the second‑half pool shall be retained and added to any existing carryover pool.

.5 - Winning tickets from the first‑half shall be exchanged for tickets selecting the first four finishers of the second‑half. The second‑half pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second race:

(a) As a single price pool, including any existing carryover monies, to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four betting interests; but if there are no such tickets, then

(b) The entire second‑half pool for that race shall be added to any existing carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second‑half pool of the next performance. The additional second‑half monies resulting from such a carryover shall be termed the “Twin Superfecta jackpot”.

:6 - If a winning first‑half ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second‑half race, the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the first‑half pool but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second‑half pool.

	:7 - Coupled entries and mutuel fields shall be prohibited in Twin Superfecta races.

:8 - No more than two (2) entries shall be allowed in each race comprising the Twin Superfecta from the same kennel, stable, trainer, or any combination of the above.

	:10 - No more than one Twin Superfecta will be allowed per performance.

:11 - Should a runner in the first‑half be scratched, those tickets including the scratched runner shall be refunded.

:12 - Should a runner in the second‑half be scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable amount of time shall be provided for exchange of tickets that include the scratched runner. If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the
close of betting for the second race, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the second‑half pool.

:13 - If, due to a late scratch, the number of runners in the second‑half is reduced to fewer than the minimum, all exchange tickets and outstanding first‑half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second‑half pool for that race as a single price pool, but not the jackpot.

:14 - If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first‑ or second‑half, all tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a runner involved in a dead heat as finishing in any dead‑heated position, shall be a winner. In the case of a dead heat occurring in:

		(a) the first‑half, the payoff shall be calculated as a profit split.

		(b) the second‑half, the payoff shall be calculated as a single price pool.

:15 - If either race is canceled prior to the first race, or the first race is declared a “no race”, the entire pool shall be refunded and the second‑half shall be canceled.

:16 - If the second-half race is canceled or declared a “no race”, all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning tickets shall be entitled to the pool for that race as a single price pool, but not the jackpot.

:17 - The jackpot shall be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the jackpot equals or exceeds the designated cap, the jackpot will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the second-half jackpot is frozen, 100 percent of the pool for each individual race shall be distributed to winners of the first-half.

:18 - A written request for permission to distribute the jackpot on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission if it can be demonstrated that such an action would be in the best interest of the wagering public.

The benefit to both the public and State will be weighed in determining whether to approve such a request.

:19 - The jackpot shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

		(a) Upon written approval from the Commission as provided in :18.

(b) Upon written approval from the Commission when there is a change in the jackpot cap or when the Twin Superfecta is discontinued.

		(c) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.

:20 - Should the jackpot be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning tickets for the second-half after completion of the first-half:

(b) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

(c) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two runners; but if there are no such wagers, then

If there are no such wagers, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first‑ and second‑place runners. If there are no such wagers, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first‑place runner only. If there are no such wagers, then all first-half tickets will become winners and will receive 100 percent of that day’s pool and any existing jackpot as a single price pool.

:22 - If the Twin Superfecta carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence shall be followed in the event of a “no race” in either contest:

(a)	If the first-half Twin Superfecta contest is canceled or declared a “no race”, all first-half tickets shall be considered as winners, eligible for exchange tickets in the second-half, and receive no monetary payoff contrary to Section :1 above. All of the day’s net pool shall be added into the carryover jackpot.
(b)	If the second-half Twin Superfecta contest is canceled or declared a “no race”, all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning Twin Superfecta tickets shall be entitled to the net Twin Superfecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, including the Twin Superfecta carryover.

:23 - If, for any reason, the jackpot must be carried over to the corresponding pool of a subsequent meet, the jackpot shall be deposited in an interest bearing account approved by the Commission. The jackpot plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second-half pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the Commission.

:24 - With the exception of the total amount of the pool at the close of first‑half wagering, the pari‑mutuel system shall suppress all information related to Twin Superfecta wagering activity until the conclusion of the second‑half race.

(a) The designated percentage of the pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first or second in the greatest number of races, and

(b) The remainder, if any, of the pool shall be retained and added to the corresponding pool of the next performance. The additional pool resulting from such a carryover shall be termed the “Place Pick (n) jackpot”.

	:3 - If there is a dead heat for first in any of the races involving:

(a) Runners representing the same betting interest, the pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

(b) Runners representing two or more betting interests, the pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager including each betting interest involved in the dead heat receiving an equal share of the profit.

	:4 - If there is a dead heat for second in any of the races involving:

(a) Runners representing the same betting interest, the pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the jackpot but not the jackpot carryover from previous performances.

:8 - The jackpot shall be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the jackpot equals or exceeds the designated cap, the jackpot will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule.

:9 - A written request for permission to distribute the jackpot on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission if it can be demonstrated that such an action would be in the best interest of the wagering public.
