The races in a parlay must be in chronological order but do not need to be consecutive races or combine the same type pool.
(c) A parlay wager may only be on one pool and one wagering interest per leg and can not combine wagers on races on other days.
(d) Payouts included as wagers in subsequent races and the final payout to the parlay wagerer shall be broken to the nearest dime. Parlay breakage shall be reported separately and added to regular breakage at the end of the day for the purpose of taxation and distribution.

The parlay terminates if there are no remaining legs.
