Section 300.70  Scratches or Non-Starter

a)         In the event a betting interest is scratched, all wagers including the scratched betting interest shall be refunded, unless otherwise provided in Board rules (e.g., second half daily double grants a consolation payoff to wagers which include scratched betting interests).

b)         In the event the doors in front of a stall of the starting gate, in thoroughbred or quarter horse racing, should fail to open, thereby preventing a horse from starting, all wagers including the horse shall be refunded.  There shall be no refund if the horse is part of a coupled entry or mutuel field.
