Rule 2120. (1) The superfecta is a contract by the purchaser of a ticket to select, in
order, the first, second, third, and fourth place horses in the designated superfecta race, as
designated by the association with the approval of the executive director. Payment of
winning tickets shall be made only to the holders of the tickets who have selected the
same order of finish as officially posted, except if there is a scratch or as otherwise
provided in these rules.
(2) Superfecta wagering has no connection with, or relation to, the win, place, and
show betting pools and shall be calculated as an entirely separate pool. The ticket shall be
labeled a superfecta ticket.
(3) If a horse is scratched or excused from racing, additional tickets shall not be sold
designating such horse, and all tickets previously sold designating such horse shall be
refunded and the money deducted from the gross pool.
(4) If no ticket is sold designating, in order, the first 4 horses, or if only 3 horses
finish, the net pool shall be distributed equally among holders of tickets designating, in
order, the first 3 horses. If no ticket is sold designating, in order, the first 3 horses, or if
only 2 horses finish, the net pool shall be distributed equally among holders of tickets
designating, in order, the first 2 horses. If no tickets are sold designating, in order, the
first 2 horses, the net pool shall be distributed equally among holders of tickets
designating the winner.
(5) If no ticket is sold designating the winner to win, the superfecta shall be declared
off and the gross pool refunded.
(6) If there is a dead heat or dead heats, all tickets designating the correct order of
finish, crediting each horse in a dead heat as finishing in either position involved in the
dead heat, shall be winning tickets, and the aggregate number of winning tickets shall be
divided into the net pool for the purpose of determining the payoff.
