(A) If two horses finish in a dead heat for first, two-thirds of the profit shall be allocated equally to the tickets representing wagers on the horses finishing in the dead heat for first and one-third to the wagers on the horse finishing third.

(B) If more than two horses finish in a dead heat for first, the profit shall be divided into as many equal parts as there are horses adjudged to have finished first and one such part shall be allocated to each class of purchasers of show tickets who wagered on one of the horses adjudged to have finished in such dead heat for win.

(C) If two or more horses should be adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for second position, the winnings remaining (after deduction from the net show pool and allocation of the amounts of their wagers to those who wagered in the show pool on the horse adjudged to have finished first and to those who wagered on each of the two or more horses adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for second position) shall be divided as follows: one-third of such winnings shall be allotted to those who wagered on the horse adjudged to have finished first, and the remaining two-thirds shall be divided into as many equal parts as there are horses adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for second position, and one of such equal parts shall be allotted to each of the class of purchasers of show tickets who wagered on one of such horses adjudged to have finished in such dead heat for second position.

(D) If two or more horses should be adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for third position, the winnings remaining (after deduction from the net show pool and allocation of the amount of their wagers to those who wagered in the show pool on the horse adjudged to have finished first, to those who wagered in said pool on the horse adjudged to have finished second and to those who wagered on each of the two or more horses adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for third position) shall be divided as follows:

One-third of such winnings shall be allotted to those who wagered on the horse adjudged to have finished first, one-third thereof shall be allotted to those who wagered on the horse adjudged to have finished second, and the remaining one-third shall be divided into as many equal parts as there are horses adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for third position. One of such equal parts shall be allotted to each of the classes of purchasers of show tickets who wagered on one of such horses adjudged to have finished in such dead heat for show position.

(E) When one horse in the mutuel field or coupled as an entry finishes first or second, and another part of the entry or field finishes third in a dead heat with a horse not in the entry or field, one-half of the profit shall be allocated to the tickets representing wagers on the field or entry, one-third to the non-entry horse finishing first or second, and the remaining one-sixth to the wagers on the horse finishing third in the dead heat with the field or entry.

(F) If two horses of an entry or field finish first and second, and another horse of the same entry or field finishes in a dead heat for third with a horse not in the entry or field, five-sixths of the net profit shall be allocated to the tickets representing wagers on the entry or field and the remaining one-sixth shall be allocated to those wagers on the horse finishing in a dead heat for third.

(G) If horses which are part of an entry or field finish first and second, and a horse not coupled in the same entry or field finishes in a dead heat for either first or second, two-thirds of the net pool shall be allocated to the tickets representing wagers on the horses of the entry or field and one-third to the tickets representing wagers on the horse not coupled.
