In case of a dead-heat for any place,the jockeys involved will receive an equal share of the aggregate number of points for that finishing position and the subsequent place e.g. If there is a dead-heat for the 3rd position,the aggregate points of 12 (i.e 7 points for the 3rd and 5points for the 4th) will be distributed amongst the two jockeys involved in the dead-heat i.e 6 points each.
