ARSD 20:04:30:62. Consolation when a horse is excused from the second half of the daily double

If a horse is scratched or excused in the second half of the daily double after the first half is official, all tickets including the scratched or excused horse shall become consolation tickets. They shall be paid at a price per dollar denomination calculated as follows: the net daily double pool, gross pool less commission, shall be divided by the total purchase price of all tickets including the winner of the first half. The quotient obtained is the price to be paid to holders of tickets combining the winner of the first half and the scratched or excused horse in the second half. The entire consolation pool, the number of eligible tickets times the consolation price, plus the breakage, shall be deducted from the net daily double pool.
