Detailed rules governing the conduct of the races are published by the California Horse Racing Board.
Purchasing Tickets
Please make your wagers early. We can assume no responsibility for uncompleted transactions when the tote machines lock. To speed service, use the exact change for purchasing tickets whenever possible. Make sure you check your tickets and change before leaving the window.
CHRB Rules On Entries
The California Horse Racing Board Rules state, ?A declaration or withdrawal of one horse from a wagering interest which consists of more than one horse shall have no effect on any wagers made on such wagering interest.?
Scratches
An alternate selection can be made only on bet cards for the Pick 4,6 and all. Your alternate selection will be substituted for a scratch. If you do not select an alternate, the actual betting favorite, as evidenced by the total amount wagered in the win pool at the time of the start of the race, will be substituted for the scratch. In the event of a scratch in the Pick 3 before the first race on your ticket, a refund will be given.
Cashing Tickets
Remember to keep all your tickets until the results are official. A successful claim of foul and/or an inquiry can change the results! Winning tickets may be cashed at any parimutuel window. Winning tickets from previous days may be cashed at any window throughout the wagering period. By State law, tickets may be cashed until May 15, 2009. State law forbids acceptance of claims for lost or destroyed tickets. Vouchers are good until one year after the conclusion of the current race meet.
Starters
A horse in the starting gate whose stall door opens when the field is dispatched is an official starter in the race. Tickets will be refunded only if a horse?s stall door fails to open. (A refund is not given if one horse in an entry or a mutuel field is declared a non-starter while other members of the entry or field remain starters).
Mutuel Pools
Wagering pools are offered under the following guidelines: win, place and show if there are five or more wagering interests; win and place only if there are four wagering interests; and win only if there are fewer than four wagering interests. If scratches reduce any field below those levels, the indicated pool(s) will be cancelled and all monies refunded.
Cancellation Policy For The Day
In the event that fewer than five races can be completed during today?s racing program, please retain the page of the racing program bearing today?s racing day and date. Should cancellation be necessary, a complete plan for rain checks will be announced over the public address system.
Cancellation Available At ?SAMS?
Wagers may be cancelled and/or changed through screen activated (wagering) machines - SAMs. Tickets bought either at a SAM or at a window will be accepted by the machines for cancellation or change, although it is limited to tickets with a value under $250 ($50 for tickets bought for night simulcast wagering).
