Thoroughbred handicapping is the art of predicting horses who have the greatest chance of winning a race, and profiting from these predictions at the horse races. The Daily Racing Form (DRF), a newspaper-style publication, is an important tool of the handicapper or horseplayer. The Daily Racing Forms and Programs are available for purchase at the information window.
Welcome to Horse Racing 101, where you can learn all the basics of having fun betting on horse racing.
Pari-Mutuel Wagering means, literally, a mutuel wager or “betting among ourselves”. All the money that is wagered worldwide on a particular race and bet type (see “Types of Wagering” for the different bet types) is put into a separate electronic pool. The race track where the race is being conducted is merely a broker for the transaction and deducts a fixed commission or “takeout” from that pool. The takeout is retained by the track and a percentage of it becomes “purse money,” the money for which the horses compete. The racetrack has no fiscal interest in the actual “official” order finish of a race. The track’s share (the takeout) remains the same no matter who wins a particular race.
Betting on horse racing can be fun and easy. There are several different wagers offered each race, but these are the three most basic:
Win – Your selection must finish 1st.
The first is a “win” wager. Betting a horse to win is just as fun as it sounds – the horse must win the race in order for you to win the wager.
Place – Your selection must finish 1st or 2nd.
Next, is a “place” wager. This is betting on a horse to finish in the top 2. You win the wager if your horse finishes first or second.
Show – Your selection must finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
Betting a horse to “show” means selecting a horse who you think will finish in the top 3. You win the wager if your horse finishes first, second, or third.
Because of the difficulty of a win wager, it will yield the highest payoff of these three wagers. A show wager will yield the lowest payoff but offers the greatest chance of winning.
The minimum bet for a win, place or show wager is only $2.
You must select the first two horses to finish in the exact order.
If you’ve mastered the art of win, place and show wagers, try an exacta. An exacta is more difficult than win, place and show wagers, but yields a higher payout. You bet an exacta by selecting a minimum two horses to finish first and second. These horses must finish first and second, in that order, for you to win the wager.
If picking two horses in order sounds too difficult, you can “box” your wager. A boxed wager will win if your horses finish 1st and 2nd, in any order, making it more likely for you to win.
The minimum bet for an exacta or exacta box wager is only $2.
You must select the first three horses to finish in exact order.
If you’ve mastered the art of win, place and show wagers, try a trifecta. A trifecta is more difficult than win, place and show wagers, as well as exacta wagers, so it yields a higher payout than any of those bets.
You bet a trifecta be selecting a minimum three horses to finish first, second, and third. These horses must finish first, second, and third, in that exact order, for you to win the wager.
If picking three horses in order sounds too difficult you can “box” your wager. A boxed trifecta wager will win if your horses finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, in any order, making it more likely to win.
The minimum bet for a trifecta wager is only 50 cents and you can bet a trifecta box for as little as $3.

When Wagering With a Self Serve Terminal
When Wagering With a Mutuel Teller
Tell the Mutuel Teller these five things in this order:
FOR EXAMPLE: “Santa Anita, race 5, $2.00 to win on number 7.”
If you have made a winning wager, take it to any mutuel window after the race is declared official to collect your winnings. Try to avoid cashing winning tickets within five minutes prior to a race, especially if you do not plan to wager on that race. Many people prefer to wait until the last few minutes of a race to place their wagers, and cash tickets. You may take full amount in payment or wager back all or part of it on upcoming races. If you are unsure whether you have a winning ticket, do not hesitate to have it checked at any window.
Acccording to IRS Requirements, Lincoln Race Course must report all gambling winning in the amount of $600 or more if such winnings are at least 300 times the amount of ticket. IRS regulations also require automatic withholding on IRS payouts that exceed $5,000. There is no withholding on payouts less than $5,000. IRS tickets cannot be cashed for guests who do not provide proof of a social security number and a picture ID.
Multiple Wagers consist of Daily Doubles, Pick 3’s, Pick 4’s, Pick 6’s and Place Pick All’s. The larger the number of bets the harder it is to pick, as well as the greater the payoff. For these bets, it is recommended to take several combinations of horses (part wheel) in each race to increase your chances of winning (although it does increase the cost).
Daily Double – You must correctly select the winners of two consecutive races. Both horses must win in order to collect. The Daily Doubles are most often held on the first two races and the last two races of the day. The minimum bet is typically $2.00. However, some tracks allow $1.00 Doubles.
Pick Three – You must correctly select the winners of three consecutive races. All three must win in order for you to collect. Typically the minimum bet is $1.00.
Pick Four – You must correctly select the winners of four consecutive races. All four must win in order for you to collect. Typically the minimum bet is $1.00. However, some tracks allow .50 cent Pick Four’s.
Pick Six – You must correctly select the winners of six consecutive races. All six must win in order for you to collect. The minimum bet is $2.00. This is the ultimate jackpot wager in the racing industry.
Place Pick All – You may win a major payoff if you correctly select a horse to finish first or second in every race on the entire race card (8, 9 or 10 races). If no ticket contains the winning combination for all races, the payoff will go to the ticket with the highest number of correct selections. The minimum bet is $1.00.
“Grand Slam”– Select a horse to finish either first, second or third in three consecutive races and then the official winner in the next race. This bet is currently available on the New York Circuit. AUQ, BEL, SAR
Many race tracks have at least one or two available Pick 3’s or Pick 4’s on a card. Some tracks also offer one Pick 6 per card. If there is available Pick 3/4/6 to bet on, there will be a note of it on the first race (or leg) of the wager. The payoff for one of these bets will be shown on the results of the last leg of the wager. For Pick 3’s and Pick 4’s, if nobody has the required number of races correct, they will typically pay out for people who missed one less race. For example, if nobody predicted a Pick 4 correctly, people who had 3 of 4 correct will get paid. In addition, the payoff results would indicate a payoff for “Pick 4 (3 of 4 correct)”. For a Pick 6, typically the track will also give a small payout to bettors who had 5 of the 6 correct. However, if nobody had all 6 correct, the majority of the Pick 6 pool will be carried over to the next racing day, making the subsequent Pick 6 pool even larger.
It's going to be a great Saturday! We are definitely 💯 on the Derby Trail with the Tampa Bay Derby jumping from the gate!
Have a winning weekend!

Our first contest of the year was a success and the players had a great time. The leaderboard changed continuously throughout the afternoon but with a large, last minute wager, Austin Anderson emerged as the winner.
Congratulations to all our winners and please don't forget to join us for our next contest, March 28.
Once again we will be playing at both Legacy and Horsemen's Park at WarHorse Casino Omaha. #legacydowns #thoroughbredracing #simulcasting #contestseason #winners
