PICK FIVE (5) EVENT

1. The Pick Five event shall be any of the races of the day appearing in the racing program as approved by the Philippine Racing Commission, which shall be subsequently designated by the Club in accordance with the betting rules as approved by the Games and Amusement Board.

2. The bettor shall select the five (5) first place winners from each of the five (5) designated races of the Pick Five event. The Club, on its discretion, may have as many numbers of Pick Five events in one race day.

3. The bettor can choose from as many numbers of combinations as he wishes. The types of betting can be single, multi-value and/or rumble.

4. The minimum investment shall be P2.00. Other denominations in excess of the minimum investment of P2.00, in the exact multiple of P1.00, will be made available.
  1. Dividend Qualification: The bettor must have selected the five (5) first place winners of the five (5) designated legs / races of a Pick Five event.

    1. The Pick Five dividend shall be computed based on the unit of P1.00 by dividing the Pick Five total net dividend pool by the total cost of winning tickets on the Pick Five winning combination. The dividend on each unit bet shall be declared by eliminating the fraction of ten centavos. No dividend less than P1.00 per unit shall be declared. Official dividends shall be posted based on the minimum bet of P2.00.

    2. In case of a dead heat for first place in one or more legs of the Pick Five event, all entries involved in the dead heat for first place shall be considered as winners.

    3. In case of a dead heat for first place in any leg of the Pick Five event, the net dividend pool shall be divided equally among all the winning combinations with money bets.

    4. In the event that no bettor has selected the five (5) first place winners of the designated five (5) legs / races of a Pick Five event, the total net dividend pool (100% of gross dividend pool less tax on winnings) shall be carried-over to the net dividend pool of the immediately succeeding Pick Five event which has not yet started or run.

  1. Scratches: There shall be no refund of bets for a scratched selection in any of the legs / races of a designated Pick Five event for a Pick Five ticket. In the event that a horse(s) is scratched, excused, or determined by the Stewards to be a non-starter in the leg / race, the following rules on substitutes / alternate shall apply:

    1. The first favorite (i.e., the entry selling the most amount of bets) in the first leg of the Daily Double event of that race in which the scratch (or scratches) occurred shall be substituted for the non-starting selection for all purposes. The first favorite is determined once the Judges officially declares the results of the first leg of the Daily Double event. However, if the race in which the scratch (or scratches) occurred is not the first leg of a Daily Double event, the substitute / alternate shall be as follows:

6.a.1. The first favorite in the first leg of the Extra Double event of that race shall be the substitute. However, if the race is not the first leg of an Extra Double event, then;

6.a.2. The first favorite in the Forecast event of that race shall be the substitute. However, if the race is not a Forecast event, then;

6.a.3. The first favorite paired with the winner of the first leg of the Daily Double event shall be the substitute. However, if the race is not the second leg of a Daily Double event, then;

6.a.4. The first favorite paired with the winner of the first leg of the Extra Double event shall be the substitute. However, if the race is none of the above, then;

6.a.5. The Racing Manager or his assistant in consultation with the Club or PHILRACOM Handicappers may decide the entry. (In this situation, an announcement as to the substitute horse will have to be made before the start of the race.)

7. In case of an emergency, that leads to or results in the cancellation of one or more legs / races that is part of a designated Pick Five event, the winning combination shall be determined from the winners in the legs / races so ran, plus the win credit(s) on the cancelled races. All bets placed in any cancelled race(s) shall earn one (1) "win credit" in each cancelled leg / race designated for the Pick Five event. However, if all races designated for the Pick Five event has been cancelled, all bets placed in that particular Pick Five event shall be refunded.
