- (a) The Classix pari-mutuel pool is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to any other pari-mutuel pool conducted by Oaklawn, nor to any win, place, and show pool shown on the totalisator, nor to the rules governing the distribution of such other pools.
(b)
- (1) The Classix pari-mutuel pool consists of amounts contributed for a selection for win only in each of six (6) races designated by Oaklawn.
- (2) Each person purchasing a Classix ticket shall designate the winning horse in each of the six (6) races comprising the Classix.
(c)
- (1) Those horses constituting an entry of coupled horses or those horses coupled to constitute the mutuel field in a race comprising the Classix shall race as a single wagering interest for the purpose of the Classix pari-mutuel pool calculations and payouts to the public.
- (2) However, if any part of either an entry or the field racing as a single wagering interest is a starter in a race, the entry or the field selection shall remain as the designated selection to win that race for the Classix calculation and the selection shall not be deemed a scratch.
(d) The Classix pari-mutuel pool shall be handled as follows:
(1)

- (B) The major share (seventy-five percent (75%)) will be distributed among holders of Classix tickets which correctly designate the official winner in each of the six (6) races comprising the Classix.
- (C) The minor share (twenty-five percent (25%)) will be distributed among the holders of Classix tickets which correctly designate the most official winners, but fewer than six (6), of the six (6) races comprising the Classix;
- (2) In the event there is no pari-mutuel ticket properly issued which correctly designates the official winner in each of the six (6) races comprising the Classix, the major share (seventy-five percent (75%)) shall not be distributed, but shall be carried over to the next racing day and be added to the major share for distribution among holders of Classix tickets which correctly designate the official winner in each of the six (6) races comprising the Classix;
(3)
- (A) The management of Oaklawn reserves the right to cancel (terminate) Classix wagering.
- (B) Public notice must be given at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the date of cancellation (termination); and
- (4) Should no distribution be made pursuant to subdivision (d)(1)(B) of this section on the last day of Oaklawn's meeting in which Classix wagering is offered (held), then that portion of the distributable pool and all moneys accumulated therein shall be distributed to the holders of tickets correctly designating the most winning selections of the six (6) races comprising the Classix for that day.
- (e) In the event a Classix pari-mutuel ticket designates a selection in any one (1) or more of the races comprising the Classix and that selection is scratched, excused, or determined by the stewards to be a nonstarter in the race, the actual favorite, as evidenced by the amounts wagered in the win pool at the time of the start of the race, will be substituted for the nonstarting selection for all purposes, including pool calculations and payoffs.
- (f) In the event of a dead heat for win between two (2) or more horses in any Classix race, all such horses in the dead heat for win shall be considered as winning horses in the race for the purpose of calculating the pool.

(1)
- (A) No Classix shall be refunded except when all six (6) legs are cancelled or declared as “no contest”.
- (B) The refund shall apply only to the Classix pool established on that racing card.
- (C) Any net pool carryover accrued from a previous Classix feature shall be further carried over to the next scheduled Classix pool operated by Oaklawn.

- (h) No pari-mutuel ticket for the Classix Pool shall be sold, exchanged, or canceled after the time of the closing of wagering in the first of the six (6) races comprising the Classix, except for such refunds on Classix tickets as required by this part, and no person shall disclose the number of tickets sold in the Classix Pool, or the number or amount of tickets sold in the Classix Pool, or the number or amount of tickets selecting winners of the Classix races, until such time as the stewards have determined the last race comprising the Classix each day to be official.
- (i) A Classix pari-mutuel ticket shall constitute a binding contract between the holder of the ticket and Oaklawn, and said ticket shall constitute an acceptance of the Classix rules.
