- (a) Two (2) Daily Doubles will be permitted during any single racing program.
- (b) If no ticket is sold combining the two (2) winners of the Daily Double, the pool shall then 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 in the last race of the Daily Double in the same manner in which a place pool is calculated and distributed.
- (c) 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.
- (d) 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 tickets which include the winner of the first race of the Daily Double.
- (e) If no ticket is sold including a winner of either race of the Daily Double, then the pool shall be paid to holders of tickets which include the horses finishing second in the two (2) races of the Daily Double.
- (f) If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of the Daily Double pool to a winner under subsections (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this section, the association shall make a complete and full refund of the Daily Double pool.
(g)
- (1) 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.
- (2) This refund is to apply only to wagers on the horse scratched.
- (h) It is required that a complete tabulation of sale or take-off of all combinations of tickets in the Daily Double pool be made, and a copy of said take-off be in the hands of the Arkansas Racing Commission auditor as soon as practicable.
(i) In the event a horse is scratched or excused in the second half of the Daily Double, after the first half is official, all tickets combining the scratched horse with the winner of the first half of the Daily Double shall be paid a price per dollar denomination calculated as follows:
- (1) The net Daily Double pool (gross pool less commission) shall be divided by the purchase price of all tickets combining the winner of the first half, and the quotient thus obtained shall be the price to be paid to holders of tickets combining the winner of the first half and the scratched or excused horse in the second half; and
- (2) The entire consolation pool (number of eligible tickets times the consolation), shall be deducted from the Daily Double pool.
- (j) Before the running of the race comprising the last half of the Daily Double pool, there shall be displayed in a prominent place, easily visible from the grandstand, clubhouse, and bleachers, the payoff of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half of the Daily Double.
(k)
- (1) In case of a dead heat for winner in the first half of the Daily Double, the payoff 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.
- (2) However, announcement of this fact must be made over the loudspeaker and notice to this effect be posted on the tote board at the conclusion of the first half of Daily Double.
- (l) 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.
