What is a Super Yankee?
A Super Yankee, also called a Canadian, is 26 bets on five selections in different races: ten doubles, ten trebles, five fourfolds and a fivefold accumulator. There are no singles, so you need at least two winners for a return.
A £1 Super Yankee costs £26. Each way it's 52 bets and costs £52: 26 win bets and 26 place bets, with the place bets paid at the place fraction of the odds.

Questions
How many bets is a Super Yankee?
26: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 fourfolds and a fivefold on five selections. A £1 Super Yankee costs £26 win, or £52 each way.
How many winners do I need for a return on a Super Yankee?
Two. The smallest bets in a Super Yankee are doubles, so a single winner returns nothing.
How many winners do I need for a profit?
It depends on the prices. With the odds in the table on this page (2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1, with the shortest-priced winning first), a £1 win Super Yankee first shows a profit with three winners. At bigger prices you can need fewer.
Is a Super Yankee the same as a Canadian?
Yes. Canadian and Super Yankee are two names for the same 26-bet full cover on five selections. A Lucky 31 is the same bet with the five singles added.
How are non-runners settled?
A non-runner's leg counts at odds of 1.0, so your stake carries on to the other selections: a treble with a non-runner becomes a double, and so on. Choose Non-runner as the result for that selection to see the effect.
