(1) The superfecta sweepstakes is a contract by the purchaser of a ticket combining four horses in a single race, selecting the four horses that will subsequently finish first, second, third, and fourth, in exact order, as officially posted.

(2) The superfecta sweepstakes is not a parlay, and has no relation to, or connected with, the win, place, and show pools, and will be calculated as a separate pool.

(3) Coupled entries and fields are prohibited in superfecta sweepstakes races.

(4) Superfecta sweepstakes tickets shall be sold only by the licensee through parimutuel machines programmed to print all selections on one ticket.

(5) In the event of a scratch in the superfecta sweepstakes, all tickets which include a scratched horse are eliminated from further participation, will be refunded, and the money deducted from the gross pool.

(6) In the event of a dead heat, or dead heats, all superfecta sweepstakes tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting the horses in the dead heat as finishing in either position dead heated, shall be winning tickets. All combinations as above described shall be divided into separate pools, calculated as a place pool, and paid off accordingly.

(7) If any tickets are sold on the winning combination of the superfecta sweepstakes, the net pool shall have added to it all carryover monies from previous superfecta sweepstakes races, and then shall be equally divided among those ticket holders.

(8) The tracks shall select which alternative they prefer as between the carryover feature contained in (9), (10), and (11) and the noncarryover feature contained in (12) and (13), obtain the approval of the board or its representative, and display, print, and distribute the rule with the approved feature throughout the betting area of each track conducting the superfecta and distribute printed copies of this rule, with selected option, to patrons upon request.

(9) If no tickets are sold on the winning combination of the superfecta sweepstakes, then the net pool shall be divided into two separate pools. Seventy percent of the net pool shall be paid into a pool known as the jackpot, and carried over to the next regularly scheduled superfecta sweepstakes race. The remaining thirty percent of the net pool shall be paid into a pool known as the superfecta consolation pool, and this pool equally divided among those ticket holders who correctly selected the first three finishers in exact order. If no ticket has been sold correctly selecting the first three finishers in exact order, then the superfecta consolation pool shall be equally divided among those ticket holders who correctly selected the first two finishers in exact order. If no ticket has been sold correctly selecting the first two finishers in exact order, then the superfecta consolation pool shall be paid to those ticket holders who correctly selected the winning horse. In the event no ticket has been sold correctly selecting the winning horse to finish first, then the entire superfecta sweepstakes gross pool (excluding any monies carried over from previous superfecta sweepstakes race) shall be paid into the pool known as the jackpot.

(10) If less than four horses finish, payoff shall be made from the superfecta consolation pool only, and shall be made to the holders of tickets correctly selecting the actual finishing horses in exact order ignoring the balance of the selection. In this event, the jackpot will be carried over to the next regularly scheduled superfecta sweepstakes race.

(11) In the event the accumulated jackpot has not been distributed prior to the closing day of the meeting in which the jackpot was generated, then the accumulated jackpot and the net pool in the superfecta sweepstakes shall be distributed to closing day holders of superfecta sweepstakes tickets who correctly select the first four official finishers in the exact order; or if no ticket is sold as above described, to those who correctly select the first three finishers in exact order; or, if no ticket is sold as above described, to those who correctly selected the first two finishers in exact order; or, if no ticket is sold as above described, to those who correctly selected the winning horse to finish first. In the event no ticket has been sold correctly selecting the winning horse to finish first, then the superfecta sweepstakes pool will be distributed equally to all closing day superfecta sweepstakes ticket holders.
