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

1. (1) As a single priced pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence, as the first three (3) betting interests;
2. (2) If there are no such wagers in subdivision (b)(1) of this section, then as a single priced pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two (2) betting interests;
3. (3) If there are no such wagers in subdivision (b)(1) or subdivision (b)(2) of this section, then as a single priced pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first place betting interest only; and
4. (4) If there are no such wagers in subdivision (b)(1), subdivision (b)(2), or subdivision (b)(3) of this section, then the entire pool shall be refunded on Trifecta wagers for that race.

(c)

1. (1) If less than three (3) betting interests finish and the race is declared official, payoffs will be made based upon the order of finish of those interests completing the race.
2. (2) The balance of any selection beyond the number of betting interests completing the race shall be ignored.

(d) If there is a dead heat for first involving:

1. (1) Contestants representing three (3) or more betting interests, all of the wagering combinations selecting three (3) betting interests that correspond with any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat shall share in a profit split; or
2. (2) Contestants representing two (2) betting interests, both of the betting interests, irrespective of order, along with the third place betting interests shall share in a profit split.

(g)

1. (1) Entries coupled as a single wagering interest and a field of horses when designated as a single wagering interest are permitted.
2. (2) Such a single wagering interest constitutes an individual wagering selection, and a scratch of any horse that is part of an entry or the field shall not constitute a scratch of the single wagering interest.

(h)

1. (1) For Trifecta races, at least five (5) betting interests shall be carded, provided, if only four (4) betting interests are carded, or if scratches occurring after opening the Trifecta pool reduce the race to four (4) betting interests, Trifecta wagering on the race will still be permitted.
2. (2) However, in no event shall Trifecta wagering be allowed on a race with fewer than four (4) betting interests.
