An Introduction to Exotic Bets in Horse Racing

08.25.2023

After you’ve become comfortable making basic horse racing bets such as win, place, and show, it’s time to raise your game and try for bigger payouts. ABR’s Dan Tordjman explains the high risk, high reward world of making exotic bets at the track.

Three of the most popular exotic bets require you to pick combinations of horses in a single race. They are betting an exacta (first and second finishers), trifecta (first, second, and third), and superfecta (first, second, third, and fourth). You can box each of these bets to cover all possible combinations of the finishing order, which costs more but also gives you more chances to win.
