Trifecta / Exacta Calculator
Trifecta
With this
bet you must pick the first three finishing horses in the order of their
finish. In other words, you must pick the horse that wins, the horse that
finishes second and the horse that finishes third.
The simplest
is a Straight Trifecta, which is a single combination of the first three
finishers. The minimum bet for a Straight Trifecta is $2.
Trifecta Box
The trifecta
box has a $1 minimum bet per combination -- $6 minimum total cost. You can
box three or more horses on a single ticket and wager $1 (or more) on each
combination.
The
following examples are for a $1 Trifecta Box:
3 horse box
( 6 combinations) Cost $ 6
4 horse box ( 24 combinations) Cost $ 24
5 horse box ( 60 combinations) Cost $ 60
6 horse box (120 combinations) Cost $120
7 horse box (210 combinations) Cost $210

Trifecta Key
The Key
Wager requires the Key horse to finish FIRST with any combination of two
or more horses finishing second and third. For example, if your key horse
is #5 and your other horses are #'s 2, 4 and 6, you will win if #5
finishes first and two of your other three horses finish second and third.
Trifecta Full Wheel
You may
select one or two horses to finish in a given position and combine your
selection with all possible combinations. The number of combinations will
vary according to the total number of horses in the race.
Exacta
With this
bet you must pick the first two finishing horses in the order of their
finish. In other words, you must pick the horse that wins and the horse
that finishes second.
Exacta Box
A "box" on
two or more horses in a race means taking all the possible combinations of
those horses in each place of finish. If you have determined that two
horses are the best in the race but you are not sure which one will win
and which one will finish second, then the safest bet is to do the exacta
box. You can box more than two horses, but it is very important to
remember that with each additional horse you add to the box that the cost
of the wager goes up substantially.
Exacta
Wheels
If you are
confident in a horse winning a race, but may have several choices as to
the second place finisher, you may elect to do an exacta wheel. If for
example, you think the #4 horse is going to win and either the #2, #5, #7,
or #10 horse will finish second, you could place the following wager: ($2
exacta wheel the 4 WITH the 2, 5, 7, 10).
