Mich. Admin. Code R. 431.2090 - Trifecta
Rule 2090.
(1) The
trifecta is a contract by the purchaser of a ticket to select the 3 horses that
will finish first, second, and third in the race. The trifecta must be
calculated as an entirely separate pool.
(2) With respect to a trifecta pool, the
amount wagered on the winning combination, such being the horse finishing
first, the horse finishing second, and the horse finishing third, in exact
order, is deducted from the net pool to determine the profit. The profit is
divided by the amount wagered on the winning combination, such quotient being
the profit per dollar wagered on the winning trifecta combination. Payoff
includes the amount wagered and profit thereon. In addition, the following
provisions apply to trifecta pools:
(a) If no
ticket is sold designating, in order, the first 3 horses, the net pool shall be
distributed equally among holders of tickets designating the first 2 horses in
order.
(b) If no ticket is sold
designating, in order, the first 2 horses, the net pool shall be distributed
equally among holders of tickets designating the first horse to win.
(c) If no ticket is sold designating the
first horse to win, the net pool shall be distributed equally among holders of
tickets designating the second and third horses in order.
(d) If less than 3 horses finish, the payoff
shall be made on tickets selecting the actual finishing horses in order,
ignoring the balance of the selection.
(e) If there is a dead heat, all trifecta
tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a horse in a dead heat
as finishing in either position involved in the dead heat, shall be winning
tickets. The payoff must be calculated as a place pool.
(f) If no ticket is sold that would require
distribution of a trifecta pool, the association shall make a complete and full
refund of the trifecta pool.
(3) If a horse is scratched or declared a
non-starter, all trifecta tickets previously issued designating such horse
shall be refunded and deducted from the gross pool.
