RACING COMMISSION > PICK-SIX SWEEPSTAKES
Short Summary
The provided legal document governs the rules and regulations for Pick-Six Sweepstakes, which is a type of wagering that combines the winners of six consecutive races. The document specifies that the Sweepstakes wagers are calculated in a separate pool from other wagering pools. Permission from the Racing Commission is required to conduct Pick-Six Sweepstakes wagering. The rules for Pick-Six Sweepstakes must be noticed to the public as directed by the commission. Entries and fields are allowed to race in Sweepstakes races, but if any part of an entry or field is a starter in a race, the entry or field selection remains as the designated selection in that race. The Pick-Six Sweepstakes pari-mutuel pool is distributed equally to the holders of tickets that correctly designate all the official winners of the Sweepstakes. If no tickets correctly designate all the winners, the net pool is carried over to the next scheduled Sweepstakes feature. In case of a dead heat for win, all horses/dogs in the dead heat are considered equally as the winner for distributing the Sweepstakes pool. Sweepstakes tickets cannot be sold, exchanged, or cancelled after the close of wagering on the first race of the Sweepstakes. If one or two Sweepstakes races are cancelled or declared as no contest, all horses in those races are considered winners for distributing the Sweepstakes feature pool. If three or more Sweepstakes races are cancelled or declared as no contest, the net amount in the Sweepstakes pool is equally distributed to the holders of tickets that correctly designate the most official winners. The number of Sweepstakes tickets sold or the number/amount of tickets selecting winners cannot be disclosed before the Stewards/Judges have determined the last race comprising the Sweepstakes to be official. The cost of a ticket designating a scratched or non-starting wagering interest in any of the Sweepstakes races is deducted from the pool and refunded to the purchaser. If a Sweepstakes pool remains undistributed and no further Sweepstakes are scheduled, the Association can schedule another Sweepstakes with the approval of the Racing Commission.
