EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Rule is to amend the Superfecta Totalizator Rule 1986 so as to vary the provisions of that Rule with respect to payments from dividend pools, consolation pools and golden superfecta pools in circumstances involving a dead heat among the first 6 places in a superfecta race. In those circumstances, it is intended that the relevant pool be divided into as many equal sub-pools as there are winning groups arising from the dead heat, excluding any group that has not been selected by at least one investor, and that each sub-pool so created be divided among the investors as if the sub-pool were itself a dividend pool, consolation pool or golden superfecta pool.
