One of the best things I like about horse racing is the quickness of the races. Unlike a baseball game, I don’t have to wait three hours to find out if I won or not. There’s a lot more to horse racing, but this primer will start you on the right path.

Horse racing offers a plethora of wagering options. One can wager on a horse to win, place and show– also called “across the board”– or any mixture of the three. If a bettor placed a 5-8-1 Trifecta, the 5 horse must finish first, the 8 horse second and the 1 horse third.
