(1) The quinella requires selection of the first two finishers, regardless of order, for a single race.
(2) The net quinella pool will be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
(a) If horses of a mutuel field finish as the first two finishers, as a single price pool to those selecting the mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish; otherwise
(b) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished as the first two betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(c) As a profit split to those whose combination included either the first- or second-place finisher; but if there are no such wagers on one of those two finishers, then
(d) As a single price pool to those whose combination included the one covered betting interest included within the first two finishers; but if there are no such wagers, then
(e) The entire pool will be refunded on quinella wagers for that race.
(3) If there is a dead heat for first involving:
(a) Horses representing the same betting interest, the quinella pool will be distributed to those selecting the mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish.
(b) Horses representing two betting interests, the quinella pool will be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.
(c) Horses representing three or more betting interests, the quinella pool will be distributed as a profit split.
(4) If there is a dead heat for second involving horses representing the same betting interest, the quinella pool will be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.
(5) If there is a dead heat for second involving horses representing two or more betting interests, the quinella pool will be distributed to wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
(a) As a profit split to those combining the winner with any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat for second; but if there is only one covered combination, then
(b) As a single price pool to those combining the winner with the one covered betting interest involved in the dead heat for second; but if there are no such wagers, then
(c) As a profit split to those combining the betting interests involved in the dead heat for second; but if there are no such wagers, then
(d) As a profit split to those whose combination included the winner and any other betting interest and wagers selecting any of the betting interests involved in the dead heat for second; but if there are no such wagers, then
(e) The entire pool will be refunded on quinella wagers for that race.
