Subpart 1.
Scope.
The pentafecta is a form of pari-mutuel wagering combining five
horses in a single race. Each bettor selects horses that will finish in exact
order, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth, in a designated pentafecta
race. Payment of the ticket must be made only to the purchasers who have
selected the exact order of finish as officially posted, except as otherwise
noted. All pentafecta wagers are calculated on a separate pentafecta pool, with
no relation to any other pool.

Price of tickets.
Pentafecta tickets must be sold singly in not less than ten
cent denominations.
Subp.

A pentafecta ticket shall be evidence of a binding contract
between the holder of the ticket and the racing association and the ticket
shall constitute an acceptance of the pentafecta wager provisions and
rules.
Subp. 4.
Scratches.
If a horse is scratched or declared a nonstarter, no further
pentafecta tickets may be issued designating the horse and all previously
