(5) In the time trials, horses shall qualify on the basis of time and order of finish. The times of the horses in the time trial will be determined to the limit of the timer. The only exception is when two (2) or more horses have the same time in the same trial heat, in which case the order of finish shall also determine the preference in qualifying for the finals. Should two (2) or more horses in different time trials have the same qualifying time to the limit of the timer for the final qualifying positions, then a draw by public lot shall be conducted as directed by the stewards.
(6) Except in the case of a disqualification, under no circumstances shall a horse qualify ahead of a horse that finished ahead of that horse in the official order of finish in a time trial.

(8) Should a malfunction occur with electronic times on any time trials, finalists from that time will then be determined by official hand timing operated by three (3) official and disinterested persons. The average of the three (3) hand times will be utilized for the winning time unless one (p) (1) of the hand times is clearly incorrect. In such cases, the average of the two (2) accurate hand times will be utilized for the winning time.

71 IAC 8-1-7.1 Multiple medication violations
Authority:
IC 4-31-3-9
Sec. 7.1. (a) A trainer who receives a penalty for a medication violation based upon a horse testing positive for a Class 1-5 medication with Penalty Class A-C, as provided in the most recent version of the ARCI Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign [sic, Substances] or similar state regulatory guidelines, may be assigned points as follows:
| | |
| Penalty Class | Points if Controlled Therapeutic Substance | Points if Noncontrolled Therapeutic Substance |
| Class A | N/A | 6 |
| Class B | 2 | 4 |
| Class C | 1/2 for first violation with an additional 1/2 point for each additional violation within 365 days.* | 1 for first violation with an additional 1/2 point for each additional violation within 365 days. |
| Class D | 0 | 0 |
*Points for NSAID violations only apply when the primary threshold of the NSAID is exceeded. Points are not to be separately assigned for a stacking violation.
(b) The points assigned to a medication violation by the judges or commission ruling, shall be included in ARCI official database. The ARCI shall record points consistent with section 7.1(a) subsection (a) when appropriate, a designation that points have been suspended or the medication violation. Points assigned by such regulatory ruling shall reflect in the case of multiple positive tests as described in subsection (d), whether they constitute a single violation. The judges' or commission ruling may be posted on the official website of the commission and within the official database of the ARCI. If an appeal is pending, that fact shall be noted in such ruling. No points shall be applied until a final adjudication of the enforcement of any such violation.
(c) A trainer's cumulative points for violations in all racing jurisdictions shall be maintained by the ARCI. Once all appeals are waived or exhausted, the points shall immediately become part of the trainer's official ARCI record and shall be considered by the judges or the commission in its determination to subject the trainer to the mandatory enhanced penalties by the judges or the commission as provided in this section.
(d) Multiple positive tests for the same medication incurred by a trainer prior to delivery of official notice by the commission may be treated as a single violation. In the case of a positive test indicating multiple substances found in a single post-race sample, the judges or commission may treat each substance as an individual violation for which points will be assigned, depending on the facts and circumstances of the case.
(e) The official ARCI record shall be used to advise the judges or commission of a trainer's past record of violations and cumulative points.

Sec. 5. (a) The double requires selection of the first place finisher in each of two (2) specified contests.
(b) The net double pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
(1) As a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in each of the two (2) contests; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (2).
(2) As a profit split to those who selected the first place finisher in either of the two (2) contests; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (3).
(3) As a single price pool to those who selected the one (1) covered first place finisher in either contest; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (4).
(4) As a single price pool to those whose selection finished second in each of the two (2) contests; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (5).
(5) The entire pool shall be refunded on double wagers for those contests.
(c) If there is a dead heat for first in either of the two (2) contests involving:
(1) contestants representing the same betting interest, the double pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred; or
(2) contestants representing two (2) or more betting interests, the double pool shall be distributed as a profit split if there is more than one (1) covered winning combination.
(d) Should a betting interest in the first half of the double be scratched prior to the first double contest being declared official, all money wagered on combinations, including the scratched betting interest, shall be deducted from the double pool and refunded.
(e) Should a betting interest in the second half of the double be scratched prior to the close of wagering on the first double contest, all money wagered on combinations, including the scratched betting interest, shall be deducted from the double pool and refunded.
(f) Should a betting interest in the second half of the double be scratched after the close of wagering on the first double contest, all wagers combining the winner of the first contest with the scratched betting interest in the second contest shall be allocated a consolation payoff. In calculating the consolation payoff, the net double pool shall be divided by the total amount wagered on the winner of the first contest and an unbroken consolation price obtained. The unbroken consolation price is multiplied by the dollar value of wagers on the winner of the first contest combined with the scratched betting interest to obtain the consolation payoff. Breakage is not declared in this calculation. The consolation payoff is deducted from the net double pool before calculation and distribution of the winning double payoff. Dead heats including involving separate betting interests in the first contest shall result in a consolation payoff calculated as a profit split.
(g) If either of the double contests are canceled prior to the first double contest, or the first double contest is declared no contest, the entire double pool shall be refunded on double wagers for those contests.
(h) If the second double contest is canceled or declared no contest after the conclusion of the first double contest, the net double pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winner of the first double contest. In the event of a dead heat involving separate betting interests, the net double pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

Sec. 7. (a) The pick (n) requires selection of the first place finisher in each of a designated number of contests. The association must obtain written approval from the commission concerning the following:
(1) The scheduling of pick (n) contests.
(2) The designation of one (1) of the methods prescribed in subsection (b).
(3) The amount of any cap to be set on the carryover.
Any changes to the approved pick (n) format require prior approval from the commission.
(b) The pick (n) pool shall be apportioned under one (1) of the following methods:
(1) For Method 1. Pick (n) with carryover, the net pick (n) pool and land carryover, if any, shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no such wagers, then a designated percentage of the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. The remainder shall be added to the carryover. If there are no wagers that include at least one (1) correct selection in any of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, the day's entire pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool amount, if any, shall be carried over to a corresponding pool on the next scheduled performance.
(2) Method 2. Pick (n) with 100% carryover: The next pick (n) pool and carryover, if any, shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no such wagers, 100% of that day's net pool shall be added to the carryover for a corresponding pool on the next scheduled performance. If there are no wagers that include at least one correct selection in any of the pick (n) contests, based on the official order of finish, the day's entire pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool, if any, shall be carried over to a corresponding pool on the next scheduled performance.
(2) For (3) Method 3. Pick (n) with minor pool and carryover: The major share of the net pick (n) pool and the carryover, if any, shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in the second greatest number of pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first place finisher of all pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests, and the major share shall be added to the carryover. If there are no wagers that include at least one (1) correct selection in any of the pick (n) contests, based on the official order of finish, the day's entire pick (n) pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool, if any, shall be carried over to a corresponding pool on the next scheduled performance.
(3) For (4) Method 4. Pick (n) with no minor pool and no carryover: The net pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish.

The minor share of the net pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in the second greatest number of pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first place finisher in a second greatest number of pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net pick (n) pool shall be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. If the greatest number of first place finishers selected is one (1), the major and minor shares are shall be combined for distribution and distributed as a single price pool. If there are no winning wagers, the entire pool is shall be refunded.
(5) For (6) Method 6. Pick (n) with minor pool and no carryover: The major share of net pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in the second greatest number of pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first place finisher in all pick (n) contests, the entire net pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. If there are no wagers selecting the first place finisher in a second greatest number of pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net pick (n) pool shall be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in each the greatest number of the pick (n) contests. If there are no winning wagers, the pool is shall be refunded.
(6) For (7) Method 7. Pick (n) with minor pool and carryover with a unique winning wager provision: The entire net pick (n) pool and carryover, if any, shall be distributed to the holder of a unique wager selecting the first place finisher in each of the selected pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there is no unique winning wager selecting the first place finisher in all each of the pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests, and the major share shall be added to the carryover. Associations may suspend previously approved unique winning ticket wagering with the prior approval of the commission. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended unique winning ticket wagering is reinstated. If there are not wagers that include at least one (1) correct selection in any of the pick (n) contests, based on the official order of finish, the day's entire pick (n) pool shall be refunded and the previous carryover pool, if any, shall be carried over to the next scheduled corresponding pool. In obtaining authorization for operating a pick (n) pool with a unique winning wager provision, associations must clearly identify which definition under
(p)(3)(A)(B) of this section [subsection (p)(3)] will be relied upon for determining the existence of a unique winning wager.
(c) If there is a dead heat for first in any of the pick (n) contests involving:
(1) contestants representing the same betting interest, the pick (n) pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred; or
(2) contestants representing two (2) or more betting interests, the pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal share of the profit.

In the event that the win pool total for two (2) or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The totalizator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, an association may also obtain authorization from the commission to allow patrons to select an alternate wagering interest in any of the pick (n) contests.
(e) If the conditions on the turf course warrant a change of racing surface in any of the legs of the pick (n) races, and the change has not been disclosed to the public prior to the close of wagering for the first race of the pick (n), the stewards shall declare each changed leg an "all-win" for the pick (n) wagering purposes only. An "all-win" race shall assign the winner of that race to each pick (n) ticket holder as their selection for that race. Any surface change as defined in this subsection shall result in the net pool for the pick (n) being distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick (n) contests for that performance. Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the pick (n) carryover but not the carryover from previous performances, except in circumstances to be determined by the stewards.
(e) (f) The pick (n) pool shall be canceled and all pick (n) wagers for the individual performance shall be refunded if:

(2) at least three (3) contests included as part of a pick 4, pick 5, or pick 6 are canceled or declared no contest;
(3) at least four (4) contests included as part of a pick 7, pick 8, or pick 9 are canceled or declared no contest; or
(4) at least five (5) contests included as part of a pick 10 are canceled or declared no contest.

Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the pick (n) carryover but not the carryover from previous performances.
(g) (h) The pick (n) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the pick (n) carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the pick (n) carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under this rule. After the pick (n) carryover is frozen, one hundred percent (100%) of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the pick (n) carryover, shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick (n) contests for that performance.
(h) (i) A written request for permission to distribute the pick (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the commission. The request must contain the following:
(1) Justification for the distribution.
(2) An explanation of the benefit to be derived.
(3) The intended date and performance for the distribution.

(i) (k) Should the pick (n) carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the first place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. The pick (n) carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:
(1) Upon written approval from the commission as provided in subsection (h) [subsection (i)].
(2) Upon written approval from the commission when:
(A) there is a change in the carryover cap;
(B) there is a change from one (1) type of pick (n) wagering to another; or
(C) the pick (n) is discontinued.
(3) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.
(j) (l) If, for any reason, the pick (n) carryover must be held over to the corresponding pick (n) pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the commission. The pick (n) carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net pick (n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the commission.
(k) (m) With the written approval of the commission, the association may contribute to the pick (n) carryover a sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap.
(l) (n) Providing information to any person regarding:
(1) covered combinations;
(2) amounts wagered on specific combinations;
(3) number of tickets sold; or
(4) number of live tickets remaining;
is strictly prohibited. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.
(m) (o) The association may suspend previously approved pick (n) wagering with the prior approval of the commission. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended pick (n) wagering is reinstated.

(p) As it relates to any distribution method under subsection (b) which contains a unique winning wager provision:
(1) A written request for permission to distribute the pick (n) unique winning wager carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the commission. The request must contain the following:
(A) Justification for the distribution.
(B) An explanation of the benefit to be derived.
(C) The intended date and performance for the distribution.
(D) A description of the methods by which the pool host will present the information to the public that identifies the intended date and performance of the distribution.

(3) The association must clearly identify which method under subparts (A) and (B) below [clauses (A) and (B)] will be relied upon for determining the existence of a unique winning ticket:
(A) There is one, and only one, wager that correctly selected the first place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, to be verified by the unique number or code assigned to by the tote company that issued the ticket that includes the winning wager.
(B) The total amount wagered on one, and only one, winning combination selected the first place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, is equal to the minimum allowable wager.

(3) For place pick (n) with no minor pool and no carryover, the net place pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place or second place finisher in the greatest number of place pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish.

Sec. 14. (a) The twin trifecta requires selection of the first three (3) finishers, in their exact order, in each of two (2) designated contests. Each winning ticket for the first twin trifecta contest must be exchanged for a free ticket on the second twin trifecta contest in order to remain eligible for the second half twin trifecta pool. Such tickets may be exchanged only at attended ticket windows prior to the second twin trifecta contest. Winning first half twin trifecta wagers will receive both an exchange and a monetary payoff. Both of the designated twin trifecta contests shall be included in only one (1) twin trifecta pool.
(b) After wagering closes for the first half of the twin trifecta and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the net pool shall then be divided into separate pools:
(1) the first half twin trifecta pool; and
(2) the second half twin trifecta pool.
(c) In the first twin trifecta contest only, winning wagers shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first twin trifecta contest:
(1) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three (3) betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (2).
(2) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two (2) betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (3).
(3) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first place betting interest only; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (4).
(4) The entire twin trifecta pool shall be refunded on twin trifecta wagers for that contest and the second half shall be canceled.
(d) If no first half twin trifecta ticket selects the first three (3) finishers of that contest in exact order, winning ticket holders shall not receive any exchange tickets for the second half twin trifecta pool. In such case, the second half twin trifecta pool shall be retained and added to any existing twin trifecta carryover pool.
(e) Winning tickets from the first half of the twin trifecta shall be exchanged for tickets selecting the first three (3) finishers of the second half of the twin trifecta. The second half twin trifecta pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second twin trifecta contest:
(1) As a single price pool, including any existing carryover monies, to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three (3) betting interests; but if there are no such tickets, to subdivision (2).
(2) The entire second half twin trifecta pool for that contest shall be added to any existing carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second half twin trifecta pool of the next consecutive performance.
(f) If a winning first half twin trifecta ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second half twin trifecta contest, the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the first half twin trifecta pool but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second half twin trifecta pool.
(g) Uncoupled entries and mutuel fields shall be prohibited in twin trifecta contests.
(h) (g) Should a betting interest in the first half of the twin trifecta be scratched, those twin trifecta wagers, including the scratched betting interest, shall be refunded.
(i) (h) Should a betting interest in the second half of the twin trifecta be scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable amount of time shall be provided for exchange of tickets that include the scratched betting interest. If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second twin trifecta contest, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the second half twin trifecta pool.
(j) (i) If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in the second half of the twin trifecta is reduced to fewer than the minimum, all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second half twin trifecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not the twin trifecta carryover.
(k) (j) If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first half or second half of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta wagers selecting the correct order of finish, counting a betting interest involved in a dead heat as finishing in any dead-heated position, shall be a winner. In the case of a dead heat occurring in:
(1) the first half of the twin trifecta, the payoff shall be calculated as a profit split; and
(2) the second half of the twin trifecta, the payoff shall be calculated as a single price pool.
(l) (k) If either of the twin trifecta contests are canceled prior to the first twin trifecta contest, or the first twin trifecta contest is declared no contest, the entire twin trifecta pool shall be refunded on twin trifecta wagers for that contest and the second half shall be canceled.
(m) (l) If the second half twin trifecta contest is canceled or declared no contest, all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning twin trifecta tickets shall be entitled to the net twin trifecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not twin trifecta carryover. If there are no such tickets, the second half twin trifecta pool shall be retained and added to any existing twin trifecta carryover pool as described in subsection (d).
(n) (m) The twin trifecta carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the twin trifecta carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the twin trifecta carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under this rule. After the twin trifecta carryover is frozen, one hundred percent (100%) of the net twin trifecta pool for each individual contest shall be distributed to winners of the first half of the twin trifecta pool.
(o) (n) A written request for permission to distribute the twin trifecta carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the commission. The request must contain the following:
(1) Justification for the distribution.
(2) An explanation of the benefit to be derived.
(3) The intended date and performance for the distribution.
(p) (o) Should the twin trifecta carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning tickets for the second half of the twin trifecta after completion of the first half of the twin trifecta:
(1) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three (3) betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (2).
(2) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two (2) betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (3).
(3) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first place betting interest only; but if there are no such wagers, to subdivision (4).
(4) As a single price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets; but if there are not such holders, to subdivision (5).
(5) As a single price pool to holders of outstanding first half winning tickets.
(q) (p) Contrary to subsection (b), during a performance designated to distribute the twin trifecta carryover, exchange tickets will be issued for those combinations selecting the greatest number of betting interests in their correct order of finish for the first half of the twin trifecta. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first place, second place, and third place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first place and second place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first place and second place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first place betting interest only. If there are no wagers selecting the first place betting interest only in the first half of the twin trifecta, all first half tickets will become winners and will receive one hundred percent (100%) of that day's net twin trifecta pool and any existing twin trifecta carryover as a single price pool.
(r) (q) The twin trifecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:
(1) Upon written approval from the commission as provided in subsection (o) [subsection (n)].
(2) Upon written approval from the commission when there is a change in the carryover cap or when the twin trifecta is discontinued.
(3) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.
(s) (r) If, for any reason, the twin trifecta carryover must be held over to the corresponding twin trifecta pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the commission. The twin trifecta carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second half twin trifecta pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the commission.
(t) (s) Providing information to any person regarding:
(1) covered combinations;
(2) amounts wagered on specific combinations;
(3) number of tickets sold; or
(4) number of valid exchange tickets;
is strictly prohibited. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.
(u) (t) The association must obtain written approval from the commission concerning:
(1) the scheduling of twin trifecta contests;
(2) the percentages of the net pool added to the first half pool and second half pool; and
(3) the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover.
Any changes to the approved twin trifecta format require prior approval from the commission.
(v) (u) Nonwinning second half twin trifecta tickets have no monetary value, and no refunds or exchanges will be made after the start of the second twin trifecta race.
