Subject to subrule (2) place betting whether or not as part of an each way bet shall be in accordance with the conditions relating to totalisator place betting on the racecourse on which the race is run.
The place bet whether or not comprised in an each way bet shall be settled as provided by subrule (4) on the first, second and third runner where there are 8 or more runners, and on the first and second runner where there are 5, 6 or 7 runners, in the race.
For the purposes of subrule (2) the number of runners in a race is —
where the bet is made on any day prior to the day of the race, the greatest number that is in the race on the day the bet is made; and

where there are 8 or more runners in the race, at one‑fourth of the odds for a win; and
