(b) The net Superfecta pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
- (1) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four (4) betting interests;
- (2) If there are no such wagers in subdivision (b)(1) of this section, then as a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three (3) betting interests;
- (3) If there are no such wagers in subdivisions (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section, then as a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two (2) betting interests;
- (4) If there are no such wagers in subdivision (b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3) of this section, then as a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first place betting interest only; and
- (5) If there are no such wagers in subdivision (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), or (b)(4), then the entire pool shall be refunded on Superfecta wagers for that race.
(c)
- (1) If fewer than four (4) betting interests finish and the race is declared official, payoffs will be made based upon the order of finish of those betting interests completing the race.
- (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) Contestants representing four (4) or more betting interests, all of the wagering combinations selecting four (4) betting interests that correspond with any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat shall share in a profit split;
- (2) Contestants representing three (3) betting interests, all of the wagering combinations selecting the three (3) dead heat betting interests, irrespective of order, along with the fourth place betting interest shall share in a profit split; and
- (3) Contestants representing two (2) betting interests, both of the wagering combinations selecting the two (2) dead-heated betting interests, irrespective of order, along with the third place and fourth place betting interests shall share in a profit split.
(e) If there is a dead heat for second involving:

- (g) If there is a dead heat for fourth, all wagering combinations correctly selecting the first three (3) finishers, in correct sequence, along with any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat for fourth shall share in a profit split.
(h)
- (1) Entries coupled as a single wagering interest and a field of horses when designated as a single wagering interest are permitted.
- (2) Such a single wagering interest shall constitute 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.
(i)
- (1) In the event that more than one (1) component of a field or coupled entry finishes within the first four (4) finishing positions, the first member of the field or coupled entry to finish shall determine the position (first, second, third, or fourth) of the single betting interest.
- (2) The net pool shall then be distributed to those whose selection included the field or coupled entry and each of the other three (3) betting interests in accordance with the priorities otherwise set forth in this Superfecta rule.
- (j) For Superfecta races, at least six (6) betting interests shall be carded, provided, however, if only five (5) betting interests are carded, or if scratches occurring after opening reduce the Superfecta pool to five (5) betting interests, Superfecta wagering on the race shall still be permitted, but in no event shall Superfecta wagering be allowed on a race with fewer than five (5) betting interests.
