(1) The double requires selection of the first-place finisher in each of two specified races.

(2) The net double pool will be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

(a) As a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in each of the two races; but if there are no such wagers, then

(b) As a profit split to those who selected the first-place finisher in either of the two races; but if there are no such wagers, then

(c) As a single price pool to those who selected the one covered first-place finisher in either race; but if there are no such wagers, then

(d) As a single price pool to those whose selection finished second in each of the two races; but if there are no such wagers, then

(e) The entire pool will be refunded on double wagers for those races.

(3) If there is a dead heat for first in either of the two races involving:

(a) Horses representing the same betting interest, the double pool will be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

(b) Horses representing two or more betting interests, the double pool will be distributed as a profit split if there is more than one covered winning combination.

(4) Should a betting interest in the first-half of the double be scratched prior to the close of wagering for the first double race or a betting interest declared a nonstarter, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest will be deducted from the double pool and refunded.

(5) Should a betting interest in the second-half of the double be scratched prior to the close of wagering on the first double race, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest will be deducted from the double pool and refunded.

(6) Should a betting interest in the second-half of the double be scratched after the close of wagering on the first double race, or declared a nonstarter, all wagers combining the winner of the first race with the scratched betting interest in the second race will be allocated a consolation payoff. In calculating the consolation payoff the net double pool will be divided by the total amount wagered on the winner of the first race and an unbroken consolation price obtained. The broken consolation price is multiplied by the dollar value of wagers on the winner of the first race combined with the scratched betting interest to obtain the consolation payoff. Breakage is not declared in this calculation. The consolation payoff is deducted from the net double pool before calculation and distribution of the winning double payoff. Dead heats including separate betting interests in the first race will result in a consolation payoff calculated as a profit split.

(7) If either of the double races are cancelled prior to the first double race, or the first double race is declared "no contest," the entire double pool will be refunded on double wagers for those races.

(8) If the second double race is cancelled or declared "no contest" after the conclusion of the first double race, the net double pool will be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winner of the first double race. In the event of a dead heat involving separate betting interests, the net double pool will be distributed as a profit split.

(9) Before the running of the second double race the association will announce and/or post the payoff of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half of the double race.
