Trifecta Bets
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 form of this wager is the Straight Trifecta,
which is a single combination of the first three finishers. The
minimum bet for a Straight Trifecta is $2. A Trifecta is not
offered in all races at all tracks.
NOTE: This wager is also called the "Triple" at some tracks.
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

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.
