Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 13:70-29.61 - Superfecta

(a) The superfecta (or other approved name) is a form of pari-mutuel wagering where each bettor selects, in order, the first, second, third and fourth placed horses in the designated superfecta race. The superfecta pool shall be held entirely separate from all other pools, and is not part of a daily double, exacta or other wagering pool.

(b) Superfecta tickets shall be sold in not less than $ 1.00 denominations.

(c) Races in which superfecta pools shall be conducted shall be approved by the Commission and shall be clearly designated in the program.

(d) If a horse is scratched or declared a non-starter, no further superfecta tickets may be issued designating such horse and all superfecta tickets previously issued designating such horse shall be refunded and the money deducted from the gross pool.

(e) Where a field in a superfecta race is fewer than six at wagering time, said race shall not be run as a superfecta. A late scratch after wagering starts will not affect the superfecta.

(f) The net superfecta pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based on the official order of finish:

1. As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four different betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then:

2. As a single pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence the first three different betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then:

3. As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two different betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then:

4. As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first place betting interest only: but if there are no such wagers, then:

5. The entire pool of superfecta wagers shall be refunded for that contest.

(g) If less than four different betting interests finish the race and the contest is declared official, payoffs will be made based upon the order of finish of those betting interests completing the race. The balance of any selection beyond the number of different betting interests completing the race shall be ignored.

(h) If there is a dead heat for first involving:

1. Contestants representing four or more different betting interests, all of the wagering combinations selecting the four betting interests which correspond with any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat shall share in a profit split.

2. Contestants representing three different betting interests, all of the wagering combinations selecting the three dead-heated different betting interests, irrespective of order, along with the fourth place different interest shall share in a profit split.

3. Contestants representing two different betting interests, both of the wagering combinations selecting the two dead-heated different betting interests, irrespective of order, along with the third place and fourth place different betting interest shall share in a profit split.

(i) If there is a dead heat for second involving:

1. Contestants representing three or more different betting interests, all of the wagering combinations correctly selecting the winner combined with any of the three different betting interests involved in the dead heat for second shall share in a profit split.

2. Contestants representing two different betting interests, all of the wagering combinations correctly selecting the winner, the two dead-heated different betting interests, irrespective of order, and the fourth place betting interest shall share in a profit split.

(j) If there is a dead heat for third, all wagering combinations correctly selecting the first two finishers, in correct sequence, along with any two of the different betting interests involved in the dead heat for third share in a profit split.

(k) If there is a dead heat for fourth, all wagering combinations correctly selecting the first three different finishers, in correct sequence, along with any of the different betting interests involved in the dead heat for fourth shall share in a profit split.
