You may take early prices or show prices in straight tricasts when available, in a fixed price tricast. This is available on all horse races of 8 or more runners. If any withdrawals result in a total Rule 4 (Deductions) of £0.10 in the £ or greater then a fixed price tricast will be settled at the computer tricast dividend. However if no computer tricast dividend is declared (e.g. in nonhandicaps) then a fixed price tricast will be settled as a computer straight forecast on the first two named selections irrespective of where the third named selection finishes.
Tricasts are not accepted including unnamed favourites.
Non-Runners
The following applies to both tricasts and fixed price tricasts: if one selection is a non-runner then the bet will be settled as a straight forecast at the computer forecast dividend. If there are two non-runners then the bet will be settled as an SP single on the remaining selection.
Dead-Heats
In the event of two or more horses dead-heating for first, second or third place then separate dividends will be declared and paid to each qualifying tricast. In fixed price tricasts the full odds will be paid with the stake split according to the number of horses which dead-heat. In races where only two horse finish and no tricast dividend is returned then all tricast bets nominating the horses that finished first and second in the correct order will be settled as a computer straight forecast. All other tricast bets in the race are lost. Tricasts are accepted for singles only.
