Section 13:71-27.48 - Quiniela

(a) The principle of a quiniela is, in effect, a contract by the purchaser of a quiniela ticket to select the first two horses to finish in a race. The order in which the horses finish is immaterial. The quiniela is not a "parlay" and has no connection with or relation to win, place or show betting, and will be calculated in an entirely separate pool.

(b) Entries shall be allowed in a quiniela race.

(c) In cases of a dead heat between two horses for first place, the combination shall be the winner of the quiniela pool.

(d) In case of a dead heat between two horses for second place, the pool shall be figured as a place pool, the holders of tickets combining the winning horse and the two horses finishing second participating in the payoff.

(e) In the case of a dead heat for second place, and no ticket is sold on one of the two winning combinations, the entire net pool shall be calculated as a win pool and distributed to those holding tickets on the winning combination.

(f) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination of a quiniela pool, the net pool shall be apportioned equally between those having tickets including the horse finishing first and those having tickets including the horse finishing second, in the same manner in which a place pool is calculated.

(g) If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of a quiniela pool to a winner as defined in (a) through (f) above, the association shall make a complete and full refund of the quiniela pool.

(h) In case of a scratch in a quiniela race, the patron holding a ticket on the scratched horse will receive a refund.
