Exacta Pools

(1) The Exacta requires selection of the first two finishers, in their exact order, for a single contest. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § K(1)) (2) The net Exacta pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish: (a) if contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finish as the first two finishers, as a single price pool to those selecting the coupled entry or mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish; otherwise (b) as a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first two betting interests, but if there are no such wagers; then (c) as a profit split to those whose combination included either the first-place betting interest to finish first or the second-place betting interest to finish second, but if there are no such wagers on one of those two finishers; then (d) as a single price pool to those whose combination included the one covered betting interest to finish first or second in the correct sequence, but if there are no such wagers; then (e) the entire pool shall be refunded on Exacta wagers for that contest. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § K(2)) (3) If there is a dead heat for first involving: (a) contestants representing the same betting interest, the Exacta pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those selecting the coupled entry or mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish; (b) contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Exacta pool shall be distributed as a profit split. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § K(3)) (4) If there is a dead heat for second involving contestants representing the same betting interest, the Exacta pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § K(4)) (5) If there is a dead heat for second involving contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Exacta pool shall be distributed to ticket holders in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish: (a) as a profit split to those combining the first-place betting interest with any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat for second, but if there is only one covered combination; then (b) as a single price pool to those combining the first-place betting interest with the one covered betting interest involved in the dead heat for second, but if there are no such wagers; then (c) as a profit split to those wagers correctly selecting the winner for first-place and those wagers selecting any of the dead-heated betting interests for second-place, but if there are no such wagers; then (d) the entire pool shall be refunded on Exacta wagers for that contest.
