I'm Still Trying To Figure All Of This Horse Racing B.S. Out! These Are The Top 4 I.M.O. I Just Hope I Put Them In Right.

Trifecta is only the TOP 3.

If those horses finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd you win. The other horse does not have to do anything.

Superfecta is TOP 4.

OK...I Did A Trifecta.BUT PICKED 4 HORSES.......!

Trifecta is only the TOP 3.

If those horses finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd you win. The other horse does not have to do anything.

Superfecta is TOP 4.


Don, what you are saying is: I could Have Picked 3 Horses and Had a Better Payout Or I Could Have Picked 4 Horses(like I Did) or More For a Lesser Payout?


Am I Understanding?

The payout will be the same. You have a $3 trifecta.....you paid extra, however to add a 4th horse to the mix.

You have all of the possible 3 horse combinations for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd that involve the four horses you selected.

8-4-3 would be a win
4-7-3 would be a win
etc...................................

The payoff is the same....it just costs more to do. If you only used 3 horses to get your combinations it would cost you $18 for a $3 trifecta ($3 x 6 combinations). Because you added a fourth horse, it bought you 18 extra combinations for $54 more ($3 x 18 combinations).
(total =$72 = $3 x 24 combinations)

No problem. I have great respect for your contributions as a poster on this forum. Glad I could help out.

I do like your chances to win.....as I believe those are the best 4 horses....I do not think that it will pay out very much, however. You need to pray that Street Sense is out of the top 2 or 3 in order to get paid out decent.

I can see this TRIFECTA winning and paying about $120 for a $2 Tri (giving you a $180 win......$108 profit). That would be nice, but not worth the risk in my opinion.

Best of Luck....I hope you win it.

Sorry......it's so Lame.........

Pretty lame bet if you bet $72. Just my opinion.


I just think these are the only Four Horses That Have A Shot!

Are You Saying The Bet Of $72 is What's LAME?


All The Best To You

Yes, not tyring to sound like a jerk. A winner is a winner. The horses you selected, if the 2 favorites come in you may get your $ back if one of the other two finish 3rd. Hey, it could finish differently. Good luck though.

If this is directed towards me, please say so. All I was trying to do was show you how much your $3 triple/trifecta paid.

In the event the above was for me, here's your answers:
1) Don't understand what?

2) What time of the day would you like to know about? If you're referring to who I liked and then played, it's listed in My Horse Thread.

3) How do I what?

4) Your tickets/wagers were placed in the trifecta pool. The only way you could cash would be to have the first three horses, despite if you had more, and in this case in any order since you boxed your choices. Prices are listed in $2 payouts, half of that is for the $1 ticket. Certain wagers do not allow $1 tickets.

5) No comment about your last statement.

BOL to you, sir!

Hey Postman we here in the horse forum are on the up and up. You Sir are a joke. Go play the lotto somemore, remember it's so easy to win.


As for my pick I happened to have the winner Newlywed and I made a whole lot more than 3 fucking dollars.

Curlin was my pick from the start.
