Section 309.10  Definition

The supertrifecta requires selection of the first three finishers, in their exact order, in the first of two designated contests and the first four finishers, in exact order, in the second of two designated contests.  The supertrifecta wager shall be calculated in an entirely separate pool.

Section 309.20  General Provisions

a)         Unless expressly noted in this Part, all trifecta rules apply.

b)         Supertrifecta wagers shall not be sold in denominations of less than $1.

c)         The supertrifecta rules shall be prominently displayed in the official program on each day the supertrifecta wager is offered.

d)         Any organization licensee that elects to offer a supertrifecta wager shall notify the State Director of Mutuels, in writing, at least 30 days prior to the start of its meet.

Section 309.30  Pool Distribution

The daily net pool and any carryover pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequences as the first three betting interests in the first supertrifecta contest and the first four finishers, in correct sequence, in the second supertrifecta contest; but if there are no such wagers, then the daily net pool shall be combined with the carryover pool and carried forward to the next consecutive supertrifecta wager.

Section 309.40  Dead Heats

If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first or second supertrifecta contest, all supertrifecta wagers selecting the correct order of finish, including any dead-heated contestant, shall be considered winners and the pool shall be distributed as a single price pool.

Section 309.50  Scratches

a)         Should a betting interest in either supertrifecta contest be scratched prior to the first supertrifecta contest, those wagers including the scratched betting interest shall be refunded.

b)         Should a betting interest in the second supertrifecta contest be scratched after the first supertrifecta contest, wagers including the scratched betting interest shall be withdrawn from the supertrifecta pool and made part of the consolation pool.  The consolation pool shall be distributed to those wagers including the scratched betting interest as a profit split.

c)         If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in the second supertrifecta contest is reduced to fewer than the minimum, the daily net supertrifecta pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who correctly selected the first supertrifecta contest.  In the event there are no wagers correctly selecting the first supertrifecta contest, the supertrifecta pool shall be added to any existing carryover.

Section 309.60  Races Canceled

a)         If either of the supertrifecta contests are canceled prior to the first supertrifecta contest, the entire supertrifecta pool shall be refunded on supertrifecta wagers for that program.

b)         If the second supertrifecta contest is canceled after the first supertrifecta contest is run, the supertrifecta pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first three finishers, in correct sequence, in the first supertrifecta contest.  In the event there are no wagers correctly selecting the first supertrifecta contest, the supertrifecta pool shall be added to any existing carryover.

Section 309.70  Mandatory Distribution

a)         The supertrifecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on the last program of a race meeting or the last program during a consecutive race meeting of the same type of racing at the same track and shall be advertised to the public.

b)         In the event a mandatory distribution is required, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning wagers for the second supertrifecta contest, based upon the official order of finish:

1)         As a single price pool to those who selected the first three finishers in exact order; but if there are no such wagers, then

2)         As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first and second place finishers in correct order; but if there are no such wagers, then
