N.J. Admin. Code § 13:71-27.53

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

Section 13:71-27.53 - Super-Six

(a) The Super-Six (or other approved name) is a form of pari-mutuel wagering. Each bettor selects the first horse in each of six consecutive races designated as the Super-Six races by the permitholder. The principle of a Super-Six is in effect a contract by the purchaser of a Super-Six ticket to select the winners of each of the six races designated as the Super-Six.

(b) The Super-Six pool shall be held entirely separate from all other pools and is no part of a daily double, exacta, trifecta or other wagering pool. The Super-Six pool is a pool wherein the bettor is required to select six consecutive winning horses and is not a parlay.

(c) Super-Six tickets shall be sold in not less than $ 1.00 denominations and only from machines capable of issuing six numbers.

(d) Races in which Super-Six pools shall be conducted shall be approved by the Commission and clearly designated in the program.

(e) The design of Super-Six tickets shall be clearly and immediately distinguishable from other pari-mutuel tickets.

(f) The Super-Six pari-mutuel pool shall be calculated as follows:

1. 100 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 official winner in each of the six races comprising the Super-Six.

2. In the event there is no pari-mutuel ticket held which correctly designates the winner of all races comprising the Super-Six, 25 percent of that racing date's net amount available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of pari-mutuel tickets correctly designating the most winning selections of the six races comprising the Super-Six, and the remaining undistributed 75 percent of said pool shall be carried over and added to the pool on the next day on which wagering is conducted.

3. If, on the last day on which this system of wagering is conducted at a horse race meeting, no bettor selects the winning horses in those races, the total amount of the pool which exists on that day in connection with those races shall be paid to the bettor or bettors who selected the largest number of winning horses in those races. In no event shall any part of the pool be carried over to the next year's race meeting.

(g) Those horses constituting an entry or a field as defined within the rules and regulations of the Commission shall race in any Super-Six race as a single wagering interest for the purpose of the Super-Six pari-mutuel pool calculations and pay-outs to the public. A scratch after wagering has begun of any part of an entry of field selection in such a race shall be of no effect with respect to the status of such entry and/or field as a viable wagering interest.

(h) At any time after wagering begins on the Super Six pool should a horse, entire betting entry or field be scratched or declared a nonstarter in any Super Six race, no further tickets selecting such horse, betting entry or field shall be issued. Wagers upon such horse, betting entry or field, for purposes of the Super Six pool shall be deemed wagers upon the "designated horse" who is the actual favorite evidenced by total amounts wagered in the win pool at the close of wagering on that race or the track operator may allow patrons the option of selecting an alternate betting interest in that race. In the event of a money tie, the tied horse, betting entry or field with the most inside post position shall be designated.

(i) After off-time, there shall be no refund in either of the cases, provided for in (h) above.

(j) For the purpose of this section, when horses are prevented from starting by any malfunction of the starting gate itself they shall be considered as having been excused by the judges.

(k) If, for any reason, any race or races of a Super-Six program is cancelled and declared "No Race," the Super-Six pool shall be distributed to the holders of the most winning selections of the remaining races pursuant to (f)1 and 2 above. In the event the Judges cancel or declare as "No Race" three or more of the Super-Six races for any given date, all pari-mutuel tickets for that Super-Six pool shall be refunded and the Super-Six cancelled for that day.

(l) 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 the winning horse in the race for the purpose of distributing the Super-Six pari-mutuel pool.

(m) 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 prior to the time the Judges have declared the last Super-Six race on any given date official.

(n) No pari-mutuel ticket for the Super-Six pool shall be sold, exchanged or cancelled after the time of the closing of wagering in the first of the six races comprising the Super-Six, except for refunds as required by this section.

(o) This rule shall be prominently displayed throughout the betting area of each association conducting a Super-Six program and in the official racing program.

(p) Should circumstances occur which are not foreseen in this section, questions arising thereby shall be resolved in accordance with general pari-mutuel practice. Decisions regarding distribution of Super-Six pools will be final.
