N.J. Admin. Code § 13:71-27.45

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 13:71-27.45 - Calculating the pay-off in dead heats

(a) In the case of a dead heat in the straight pool, the pay-off price shall be figured as in a place pool.

(b) In the case of a dead heat for second in the place pool, the winner of the race receives its half share of the profits in that pool; and each of the two horses that dead heat for second receive one-half of the remaining half of the profits.

(c) In the case of a dead heat for third or "show" in the show pool, the first and second horses each receive a normal one-third of the profits in that pool; and the two horses that dead heat for third each receive one-half of the remaining third of the profits.

(d) Where two or more horses racing for one interest or field horses participate in dead heats, each horse of the entry or field is entitled to his proportionate share of the profits in the pool in which the dead heat occurs and the other pools affected. For example: where two horses of an entry or field "dead heat" for straight, the straight and place prices are calculated as straight pools and the entry is entitled to two-thirds of the profits of the show pool.

(e) Where two or more horses of an entry or field figure in a dead heat, or multiple dead heats in one race, each horse of the entry or field participating gets his proportionate award of the profits in whatever pool, or pools, are affected by the dead heat or dead heats. The sum of the total profits, in each pool, for the entry or field is then used as a dividend to calculate the pay-off price for said entry or field in that pool.
