Official Rules and Regulations

1. The Magna 5 Pick 5™ (“Magna 5™”) is a Pick 5 wager which requires selection of the first-place finisher in each of five races held on the same day at one or more racetracks owned and/or operated by Magna Entertainment Corp. (“MEC”). Participating racetracks and races comprising a given Magna 5 contest will be selected from time to time by MEC in its sole discretion.
2. The minimum amount for a Magna 5 wager is one dollar ($1.00).
3. The pool for a Magna 5 contest shall be canceled and all Magna 5 wagers for that contest shall be refunded if at least two races included as part of that contest are canceled or declared "no contest."
4. When the condition of the turf course warrants a change of racing surface in any of the races constituting a given Magna 5 contest, and such change has not been made known to the betting public prior to the close of wagering for such contest, the stewards shall declare the changed race(s) a “no contest” for such contest, and the pool for such contest shall be distributed in accordance with section 3 or 5 of these rules and regulations.
5. If one race included as part of a given Magna 5 contest is canceled or declared "no contest", the net pool for such contest only shall be distributed, on a pari-mutuel basis, among the bets which contain the most correct selections for the races which are run in that contest. Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily carried over from wagering on that specific Magna 5 contest but shall not include the carryover from pools from previous Magna 5 contests.
6. Except as provided in section 3 or 5 of these rules and regulations, the net pool created under a given Magna 5 contest, along with carryover from pools from previous Magna 5 contests, if any, shall be distributed on a pari-mutuel basis among those bets which contain:
   1. all the correct selections; or
   2. the most correct selections if:
      1. no bet contains all the correct selections; and
      2. MEC has given prior notice that there will be a mandatory distribution of the carryover.
7. If no bet contains all the correct selections in accordance with subsection 6(a) above, and subsection 6(b) of these rules and regulations has not been invoked by MEC having given prior notice that there will be a mandatory distribution of the carryover, the net pool created under a given Magna 5 contest shall be divided into three pools, where:
   1. 25% of the amount bet into such pool on that Magna 5 contest shall be distributed among those bets which contain the most correct selections;
   2. 75% of the amount bet into such pool on that Magna 5 contest shall be carried over to the next Magna 5 contest; and
   3. 100% of the carryover from pools from previous Magna 5 contests shall be carried over to the next Magna 5 contest.
8. If there is a dead heat for first in any of the Magna 5 contests involving:
   1. horses representing the same betting interest, the pool for that Magna 5 contest shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred; or
   2. horses representing two or more betting interests, the pool for that Magna 5 contest shall be distributed, on a pari-mutuel basis, as if all horses in the dead heat for first are considered winning horses in the race for the purpose of calculating the will pay from that pool (taking into account any horses that might represent the same betting interest if there is a dead heat among more than two horses).
9. If there is more than one combination of winning bets, the aggregate dollars wagered on the winning combinations shall be used to calculate the will pay.
10. If a betting interest is scratched, excused or determined by the judges to be a non-starter:
    1. the actual favorite, as evidenced by the amounts wagered in the win pool for the race in which the scratched betting interest was to participate is closed, shall be substituted for that scratched betting interest; or
    2. the favorite with the lowest program number shall be substituted for the scratched betting interest if the amounts wagered in the win pool are identical on two or more favorites when wagering on the race is closed.
    The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.
