Section 326.10  General

 

The Quinella Double requires selection of the first two finishers, irrespective of order, in each of two specified contests. 

 

Section 326.20  Pool Distribution

 

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

 

a)         If a coupled entry or mutuel field finishes as the first two contestants in either contest, as a single price pool 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 as the first two finishers in the alternate Quinella Double contest; otherwise

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 326.30  Dead Heats

 

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

 

1)         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.

 

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

 

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

 

b)         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.

 

c)         If there is a dead heat for second in either of the Quinella Double contests involving contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Quinella Double pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

 

Section 326.40  Scratches

 

a)         Should a betting interest in the first half of the Quinella Double be scratched prior to the first Quinella Double contest being declared official, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the Quinella Double pool and refunded.

 

b)         Should a betting interest in the second-half of the Quinella Double be scratched prior to the close of wagering on the first Quinella Double contest, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the Quinella Double pool and refunded.

 

c)         Should a betting interest in the second half of the Quinella Double be scratched after the close of wagering on the first Quinella Double contest, all wagers combining the winning combination in the first contest with a combination including the scratched betting interest in the second contest shall be allocated a consolation payout. In calculating the consolation payout, the net Quinella Double pool shall be divided by the total amount wagered on the winning combination in the first contest and an unbroken consolation price obtained.  The unbroken consolation price is multiplied by the dollar value of wagers on the winning combination in the first contest combined with a combination including the scratched betting interest in the second contest to obtain the consolation payout.  Breakage is not declared in this calculation.  The consolation payout is deducted from the net Quinella Double pool before calculation and distribution of the winning Quinella Double payout.  In the event of a dead heat involving separate betting interests, the net Quinella Double pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

 

Section 326.50  Race Cancelled

 

a)         If either of the Quinella Double contests is cancelled prior to the first Quinella Double contest, or the first Quinella Double contest is declared "no contest", the entire Quinella Double pool shall be refunded on Quinella Double wagers for those contests.

 

b)         If the second Quinella Double contest is cancelled or declared "no contest" after the conclusion of the first Quinella Double contest, the net Quinella Double pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winning combination in the first Quinella Double contest.  If there are no wagers selecting the winning combination in the first Quinella Double contest, the entire Quinella Double pool shall be refunded on Quinella Double wagers for those contests.
