Section XIII-10901 - Super Six
A. The super six pari-mutuel pool is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to any other pari-mutuel pool conducted by the association, nor to any win, place and show pool shown on the totalizator, nor to the rules governing the distribution of such other pools.
B. A super six pari-mutuel ticket shall be evidence of a binding contract between the holder of the ticket and the association and the said ticket shall constitute an acceptance of the super six provisions and rules.
C. A super six may be given a distinctive name by the association conducting the meeting, subject to approval of the commission.
D. The super six pari-mutuel pool consists of amounts contributed for a selection for win only in each of six races designated by the association with the approval of the commission. Each person purchasing a super six ticket shall designate the winning horse in each of the six races comprising the super six.
E. Those horses constituting an entry of coupled horses or those horses coupled to constitute the field in a race comprising the super six shall race as a single wagering interest for the purpose of the super six pari-mutuel pool calculations and payouts to the public. However, if any part of either an entry or the field racing as a single wagering interest is a starter in a race, the entry or the field selection shall remain as the designated selection to win in that race for the super six calculation and the selection shall not be deemed a scratch.
F. The super six pari-mutuel pool shall be calculated as follows.
1. The net amount in the pari-mutuel pool referred to in this Section is defined as the pari-mutuel pool created by super six wagering on that particular day and does not include any amounts carried over from previous days' betting as provided by in Subparagraph F.4.a below.
2. Seventy percent of the net amount in the pari-mutuel pool subject to distribution among winning ticket holders, plus any carryover resulting from provisions of Paragraph F.4, shall be distributed among the holders of pari-mutuel tickets which correctly designate the official winner in each of the six races comprising the super six.
3. Thirty percent of the net amount in the pari-mutuel pool subject to distribution among winning ticket holders shall be distributed among the holders of pari-mutuel tickets which correctly designate the second most official winners, but less than six, in each of the six races comprising the super six.
4. In the event there is no pari-mutuel ticket properly issued which correctly designates the official winner in each of the six races comprising the super six, the net pari-mutuel pool shall be distributed as follows.
a. Seventy percent of the net amount in the pari-mutuel pool shall be retained by the association as distributable amounts and shall be carried over to the next succeeding racing day as an additional net amount to be distributed as provided in Paragraph F.2.
b. Thirty percent of the net amount in the pari-mutuel pool subject to distribution among winning ticket holders shall be distributed among the holders of pari-mutuel tickets which correctly designate the most official winners, but less than six, in each of the six races comprising the super six.
5. Should no distribution be made pursuant to Paragraph F.1 on the last day of the association meeting, then that portion of the distributable pool and all monies accumulated therein shall be distributed to the holders of tickets correctly designating the most winning selections of the six races comprising the super six for that day or night; the provisions of Subsections I and J have no application on said last day.
G. In the event a super six ticket designates a selection in any one or more of the races comprising the super six and that selection is scratched, excused or determined by the stewards to be a nonstarter in the race, the actual favorite, as evidenced by the amounts wagered in the win pool at the time of the start of the race, will be substituted for the nonstarting selection for all purposes, including pool calculations and payoffs. In the event the amount wagered in the win pool on two or more favorites is identical, the favorite with the lowest number on the program will be designated as the actual favorite.
H. In the event of a dead heat for win between two or more horses in any super six race, all such horses in the dead heat for win shall be considered as winning horses in that race for the purpose of calculating the pool.
I. No super six shall be refunded except when all of the races comprising the super six are canceled or declared as "no contest." The refund shall apply only to the super six pool established on that racing card. Any net pool carryover accrued from a previous super six feature shall be further carried over to the next scheduled super six feature operated by the association.
J. In the event that any number of races less than six comprising the super six are completed, 100 percent of the net pool for the super six shall be distributed among holders of pari-mutuel tickets that designate the most winners in the completed races. No carryover from a previous day shall be added to the super six pool in which less than six races have been completed. Any net pool carryover accrued from a previous super six feature shall be further carried over to the next scheduled super six pool operated by the association.
K. No pari-mutuel ticket for the super six pool shall be sold, exchanged or canceled after the time of the closing of wagering in the first of the six races comprising the super six, except for such refunds on super six tickets as required by this regulation, and no person shall disclose the number of tickets sold in the super six pool or the number or amount of tickets selecting winners of super six races until such time as the stewards have determined the last race comprising the super six each day to be official.
