205 CMR 6.12 - Coupled Entries and Mutuel Fields
(1) Contestants
coupled in wagering as a coupled entry or mutuel field shall be considered part
of a single betting interest for the purpose of price calculations and
distribution of pools. Should any contestant in a coupled entry or mutuel field
be officially withdrawn or scratched, the remaining contestants in that coupled
entry or mutuel field shall remain valid betting interests and no refunds will
be granted, however, then any and all patrons wishing to have their tickets on
the coupled entry canceled may do so, time permitting prior to post of the
designated race. If all contestants within a coupled entry or mutuel field are
scratched, then tickets on such betting interests shall be refunded,
notwithstanding other provisions of
205 CMR 6.00. (ARCI c. 9 g.p.
§ L(1) amended)
(2) For the
purpose of price calculations only, coupled entries and mutuel fields shall be
calculated as a single finisher, using the finishing position of the leading
contestant in that coupled entry or mutuel field to determine order of placing.
205 CMR 6.12 shall apply to all circumstances, including situations involving a
dead heat, except as otherwise provided by
205 CMR 6.00. (ARCI c. 9 g.p.
§ L(2))
(3) In horse and
harness racing, when two or more horses which have any common ties of ownership
are entered to run in a race they are called an "entry" and a wager on one of
them shall be a wager on all of them.
(4) In horse and harness racing, when the
individual horses competing in a race exceed the numbering capacity of the
Tote, the highest numbered horse within the capacity of the Tote and all horses
of a higher number shall be grouped together and called the "Field" and a wager
on one of them shall be a wager on all of them.
