Twin Quinella Pools

(1) The Twin Quinella requires selection of the first two finishers, irrespective of order, in each of two designated contests. Each winning ticket for the first Twin Quinella contest must be exchanged for a free ticket on the second Twin Quinella contest in order to remain eligible for the second-half Twin Quinella pool. Such tickets may be exchanged only at attended ticket windows prior to the second Twin Quinella contest. There will be no monetary reward for winning the first Twin Quinella contest. Both of the designated Twin Quinella contests shall be included in only one Twin Quinella pool. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(1)) (2) In the first Twin Quinella contest only, winning wagers shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first Twin Quinella contest: (a) if a coupled entry or mutuel field finishes as the first two finishers, those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish shall be winners; otherwise (b) those whose combination finished as the first two betting interests shall be winners, but if there are no such wagers; then (c) those whose combination included either the first- or second-place finisher shall be winners, but if there are no such wagers on one of those two finishers; then (d) those whose combination included the one covered betting interest included within the first two finishers shall be winners, but if there are no such wagers; then (e) the entire pool shall be refunded on Twin Quinella wagers for that contest. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(2)) (3) In the first Twin Quinella contest only, if there is a dead heat for first involving: (a) contestants representing the same betting interest, those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish shall be winners; (b) contestants representing two betting interests, the winning Twin Quinella wagers shall be determined as if no dead heat occurred; (c) contestants representing three or more betting interests, those whose combination included any two of the betting interests finishing in the dead heat shall be winners. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(3)) (4) In the first Twin Quinella contest only, if there is a dead heat for second involving contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Twin Quinella pool shall be distributed to wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish: (a) as a profit split to those combining the winner 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 winner 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 combining the betting interests involved in the dead heat for second, but if there are no such wagers; then (d) as a profit split to those whose combination included the winner and any other betting interest and wagers selecting any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat for second, but if there are no such wagers; then (e) the entire pool shall be refunded on Twin Quinella wagers for that contest. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(4)) (5) In the second Twin Quinella contest only, the entire net Twin Quinella pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second Twin Quinella contest: (a) if a coupled entry or mutuel field finishes as the first two finishers, as a single price pool to those who selected 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 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- or second-place finisher, 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 included within the first two finishers, but if there are no such wagers; then (e) as a single price pool to all the exchange ticket holders for that contest, but if there are no such tickets; then (f) in accordance with 205 CMR 6.42(2) of the Twin Quinella rules. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(5)) (6) In the second Twin Quinella contest only, if there is a dead heat for first involving: (a) contestants representing the same betting interest, the net Twin Quinella pool shall be distributed 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 betting interests, the net Twin Quinella pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred; (c) contestants representing three or more betting interests, the net Twin Quinella pool shall be distributed as a profit split to those whose combination included any two of the betting interests finishing in the dead heat.

(ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(7)) (8) If a winning ticket for the first-half of the Twin Quinella is not presented for exchange prior to the close of betting on the second-half Twin Quinella contest, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to any distribution of the Twin Quinella pool resulting from the outcome of the second contest. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(8)) (9) Should a betting interest in the first-half of the Twin Quinella be scratched, those Twin Quinella wagers including the scratched betting interest shall be refunded. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(9)) (10) Should a betting interest in the second-half of the Twin Quinella be scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable amount of time shall be provided for exchange of tickets that include the scratched betting interest. If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second Twin Quinella contest, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the Twin Quinella pool. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(10)) (11) If either of the Twin Quinella contests is canceled prior to the first Twin Quinella contest, or the first Twin Quinella contest is declared "no contest", the entire Twin Quinella pool shall be refunded on Twin Quinella wagers for that contest. (ARCI c. 9 cal. § N(11)) (12) If the second-half Twin Quinella contest is canceled or declared "no contest" after the conclusion of the first Twin Quinella contest, the net Twin Quinella pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winning combination in the first Twin Quinella contest and all valid exchange tickets.
