in a single race, selecting the first four (4) finishers in the exact order of finish
as officially posted.

are program numbers of the horses.
(f) No exchange of tickets. There positively shall be no exchange of tickets after the purchaser thereof has
left the sales window.
(g) Not a parlay. The superfecta is not a "parlay" and has no connection with or relation to any other
pool, and is no part of the win, place and show pools, daily double, exacta, quinella,
trifecta, or other wagering pool. All tickets will be calculated in an entirely separate
pool.
(h) Calculation and distribution of pools. The superfecta shall be calculated and distributed as follows: the net pool divided
by the amount wagered on the winning combinations determines the payoff per dollar
bet, including profit and wager.

made on superfecta tickets selecting the first three horses, in order; failure to
select the first three horses, payoff to superfecta tickets selecting the first two
horses, in order; failure to select the first two horses, payoff to superfecta tickets
selecting the winner to win; failure to select the winner to win shall cause a refund
of all superfecta tickets.
(l) Scratched or excused horse. Should any horse entered in a superfecta race be scratched or excused by the judges
after wagering has commenced, all tickets including such horse shall be deducted from
the superfecta pool and money refunded to the purchasers of tickets on the horse so
excused or prevented from racing.
(m) Dead heat. In the event of a dead heat or dead heats, all superfecta tickets selecting the correct
order of finish, counting a horse in a dead heat as finishing in either position dead
heated, shall be winning tickets, and contrary to the usual practice, the aggregate
number of winning tickets shall divide the net pool and be paid the same payoff price.
(n) Design of tickets. The design of superfecta tickets shall be clearly and immediately distinguishable
from other pari-mutuel tickets.
(o) Denomination and machines. Superfecta tickets shall be sold only in denominations approved by the commission
and only from machines capable of issuing four numbers.
