Subpart 1.
Scope.
The superfecta is a form of pari-mutuel wagering combining four
horses in a single race. Each bettor selects horses that will finish in exact
order, first, second, third, and fourth, in a designated superfecta race.
Payment of the ticket must be made only to the purchasers who have selected the
exact order of finish as officially posted, except as otherwise noted. All
superfecta wagers are calculated on a separate superfecta pool, with no
relation to any other pool.
Subp.
2.
Price of tickets.
Superfecta tickets must be sold singly in not less than ten
cent denominations.
Subp.
2a.
Ticket is evidence of binding contract.
A superfecta ticket shall be evidence of a binding contract
between the holder of the ticket and the racing association and the ticket
shall constitute an acceptance of the superfecta wager provisions and
rules.
Subp. 3.
Scratches.
If a horse is scratched or declared a nonstarter, no further
superfecta tickets may be issued designating the horse and all previously
issued superfecta tickets that include the scratched horse must be refunded at
any time and the money deducted from the gross pool.
Subp. 4.
Failure to select winning
combination.
Items A to E govern payoffs in races where the winning
combination has not been selected.
A.
If no ticket is sold correctly selecting the first four finishers, the net pool
must be paid equally on those superfecta tickets selecting the horses finishing
first, second, and third.
B. If no
ticket is sold correctly selecting the first three finishers, the net pool must
be paid equally on those superfecta tickets selecting the horses finishing
first and second.
C. If no ticket
is sold correctly selecting the first two finishers, the net pool must be paid
equally on those tickets selecting the horse finishing first.
D. If no ticket is sold that would require
distribution of the net superfecta pool as described in items A to C, a full
refund of the superfecta pool for that race must be made.
E. If less than four horses finish a
superfecta race, payoff must be made on tickets selecting the actual finishing
horses in order, ignoring the balance of the selection.
Subp. 5.
Cancellation of superfecta
race.
If a superfecta race is canceled, a full refund of all
superfecta tickets must be made.
Subp.
6.

Items A to F govern payoffs in dead heats.
A. In the event of a dead heat for first, the
winning combinations must be the horses finishing in the dead heat for first
and the horses finishing third and fourth.
B. In the event of a dead heat for second,
the winning combinations must be the horse finishing first, the horses
finishing in the dead heat for second, and the horse finishing
fourth.
C. In the event of a dead
heat for third, the winning combinations must be the horse finishing first, the
horse finishing second, and the horses finishing in the dead heat for
third.
D. In the event of a dead
heat for fourth, the winning combinations must be the horse finishing first,
the horse finishing second, the horse finishing third, and the horses finishing
in the dead heat for fourth.
E. In
the event of a dead heat for first, second, third, or fourth where there is no
winning ticket on the one dead heat combination, the entire pool must be paid
to the other winning combination.
F. In all instances of multiple dead heats,
the winning combinations must be paid proportionately from the net superfecta
pool.
Subp. 7.
Restrictions on superfecta races.
In no event shall superfecta wagering be allowed with fewer
than five betting interests. If for any reason superfecta wagering is canceled,
all superfecta wagers must be refunded.
