(j) Failure to select a winner and race cancellations.

1. (1) If no daily double ticket is sold designating the winner of the first race, or the first race is cancelled or declared "no race", the daily double shall be declared off and the gross pool refunded.
2. (2) If no daily double ticket is sold combining the winners of the first and second races, or the second race is cancelled or declared "no race", the net pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets designating the winner of the first race, as in a win pool and the daily double shall terminate.

(k) Dead heats.

1. (1) In the event of a dead heat either in the first race or second race of the daily double, two winning combinations result. The amounts wagered on both winning combinations are deducted from the net pool to determine the profit. This profit is divided in half, and the halves, in turn, divided by the two amounts mentioned above. This determines the profit per dollar, to which is added the amount of the wager.

2. (2) In the event of a dead heat in both races of the daily double, four winning combinations result. The amounts wagered on these four winning combinations are deducted from the net pool to determine the profit. This profit is divided into four equal parts, and each part, in turn, divided by the four amounts mentioned above. This determines the profit per dollar, to which is added the amount of the wager.

   1. (1) Should any horse in the first or the second race of the daily double be scratched or excused by the judges before the running of the first race, all money wagered on combinations including such horse shall be deducted from the daily double pool and shall be refunded upon presentation and surrender of parimutuel tickets sold thereon.
   2. (2) Should any horse in the second race of the daily double be scratched or excused by the judges after the running of the first race of the daily double, a consolation pool will result. In such a case, all tickets combining the scratched or excused horse with the actual winner of the first race shall become consolation tickets and shall be paid a price per dollar bet determined as follows: the net daily double pool shall be divided by the total purchase price of all daily double tickets designating the winner of the first race of the daily double and the result obtained shall constitute the consolation price per dollar bet. The amount set aside for these consolation payoffs will be deducted from the net daily double pool.
   3. (3) If the holder of a ticket loses the first race of the daily double and the horse is scratched in the second race, no money shall be refunded.

   (l) Effect—horse scratched, excused.
