(iii) Dividends will be paid or credited to the investor
in the same manner as any investments by cash or by telephone
or by post.

(iv) No investments on the doubles totalizator will be
accepted prior to the publication of acceptances.

B. Provisions Resulting from the Scratching of Horses from a Double

(i) Where Horse in First Race of the Double is Scratched:
(a) If a horse, including a bracketed horse, is scratched
from the first race, the investor may at his option nominate
a substitute or accept a refund, at the totalizator agency
where the investment was made, up to fifteen minutes before
the advertised time of closing for the receipt of investments
for the double.

(b) Where a horse is scratched at any time before the
first race and the investor has not substituted another horse,
the investor, where a refund is obtained from the totalizator,
will be entitled to a refund, except in the case of a bracket
when any one of the horses in such bracket starts, and in
such event the investment will be deemed to remain on the
starter represented by such bracket.

(ii) Where Horse in Second Race of the Double is Scratched:
(a) If a horse, including a bracketed horse, is scratched
from the second race, the investor may, at the totalizator agency,
where the investment was made, at his option accept a refund up to fifteen minutes before the
advertised time of closing for the receipt of investments for
the double, or nominate a substitute up to fifteen minutes
before the advertised starting time for the first race.

(b) Where a horse, which is bracketed with a horse that
starts, is scratched from the second race at any time and
the investor has not accepted a refund or nominated a
substitute as aforesaid, then the investor will be deemed
to have selected the remaining horse or horses in the
bracket as his starter in the second race.

(c) Where a horse, which is not bracketed with a horse
that starts, is scratched from the second race at any time
and the investor has not accepted a refund or substituted
another horse, the Board will substitute for the scratched
horse the favourite for such race, as determined by that part
of the double investments received by the Board for
starters in the second race which were coupled with
the winner of the first race and ascertained after the
time of closing for receipt and substitution of investments
for such double and as recorded before this adjustment takes
place.

‘‘ Favourite ’’ as determined in the foregoing may be a
horse or those horses included in a bracket to which a
separate number is allotted on the totalizator.

(d) Board’s Substitution in Second Race Where Two or
More Horses are Equal Favourites.—In the event of two or
more horses being equally determined as favourites in the
second race in accordance with clause (ii) (c) hereof, the
favourite for the purpose of such clause will be the equal
favourite first appearing in the list of runners in the
totalizator records for that race at the time this adjustment
takes place.

(e) Board’s Substitution in Second Race Where Investment on Scratched Horse is only Investment for that Race.—
In the event of the scratched horse being the only horse in
the second race for which the Board has received doubles
investments which were coupled with the winner of the first
race, then the horse next above the scratched horse in the
totalizator records for such race will be substituted for that
scratched horse, and if there is not a horse next above in
that race, the horse next below the scratched horse in the
totalizator records for such race will be substituted for the
scratched horse.

(f) Substitution of Chosen Favourite to be Final.—For
the purpose of this rule, the decision made by the official of
the Board as to which horse shall be substituted for a
scratched horse in the second race shall be binding upon the
Board and upon the investor.

(g) Brackets.—Where no bracket is shown in the
notices exhibited by the Board, but a horse is required to
be bracketed with another horse on the totalizator, no bracket
shall be deemed to exist unless both horses come under the
orders of the starter. Where such a horse is scratched from
the race, the Board shall substitute in accordance with sub-
clause (ii) (c) hereof.

(h) Method of Substitution or Cancellation.—(i) Investments made by telephone may be substituted or cancelled by
telephone or in person.

(ii) Investments by cash may be substituted or cancelled
only in person on presentation and exchange of the original
ticket issued.

(iii) Investments made by post may not be substituted
or cancelled at any time.
