1)         As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four betting interests; but, if there are no such wagers, then

2)         As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three betting interests; but, if there are no such wagers, then

3)         As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but, if there are no such wagers, then

4)         As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first place betting interest only; but, if there are no such wagers, then
