Wouldn't that crush the odds by race 5 and 6. And to parlay would mean that you would have to hit six singles in a row to reach the "Parlay" payout .. Good luck with that. I'd be interested in hearing why I am way off base... Been there many times.
It is somewhat mythical and your points are correct. It's just used as a baseline because it's the bet that aligns best with multi-race wagers structurally.
