1The number of the race betting on and the amount of money that is being wagered from $2 and up. 2 The type of wager such as “Win”, “Place”, “Show”, “Quinella”, “Exacta”, “Trifecta”, etc. 3 The official program number of the horse or horses for the bet. Bettors should not use the horse’s name.

For example, say: “In the first race, I would like $2 to Win on number one.” Or, “In the second race, I would like a $2 Exacta with 7-2.”

Across the Board: Bet a horse to win, place and show, and if the horse wins, the bettor collects all three ways. Daily Double: In a “Daily Double”, the bettor picks the winners of two consecutive races designated as “Daily Double” in the official race program. Wager must be made before the start of the first of the two races. For example: “$2 Daily Double 8-9” means the bettor has selected the 8 horse in the first half and the 9 horse in the second half. Exacta: Pick the top two finishers in the exact order in which they finish. Example: “$2 exacta 1-2” means the number one horse has to finish first and number two horse has to finish second. Exacta Box: Bettors can “box” two, three or more horses to cover a number of possible combinations. For example: a three-horse exacta box would make for six combinations and would cost $12 for a $2 bet. A “$2 Exacta Box 3-4-5” means any two of the three horses must finish first and second, in any order. Quinella: Pick the top two finishers in any order in the race. Example: “$2 Quinella 1-2” means the one and two horses finishes first and second in any order Quinella Box: Choose more than two horses for a Quinella box. For example, a three-horse box (three wagers) would cost $6, a four-horse box (six wagers) costs $12 and a five-horse box (10 wagers) costs $20. Of those horses selected, two of them must finish first and second, in any order. Superfecta: Pick the top four finishers in a race in the exact order. Trifecta: Pick the top three finishers in the exact order. Example: “$2 Trifecta 7-89” means the seven horse must finish first, the eight horse must finish second and the nine horse must finish third. Trifecta Box: The Trifecta Box includes every possible combination that could result from the selected horses. Example: “$2 Trifecta box 4-5-6”, means those three horses must finish first, second and third in any order. The $2 bet would cost $12. A $2 four-horse Trifecta box costs $48 and a $2 five-horse Trifecta box costs $120. Twin Trifecta: Like the daily double, this bet involves two races designated as “Twin Trifecta” in the race program. To win, the bettor must pick the first, second and third place finishers in exact order in the first half of the designated race. After the first race is declared official and before the second race is run, the bettor exchanges the winning ticket and selects the first three horses in the exact order of the second race of the “Twin Trifecta”.
