Horse Racing Betting Terms
When reading footnotes of
past performances or talking racetrack talk, knowing
horse racing terms is important.
For example, it’s especially helpful for
horse racing bettors to ascertain what kind of
trip a thoroughbred enjoyed or suffered through.
For bad trip horse handicappers, like myself,
the “B,” “C” and “S”
words are essential:
Bobbled: A horse racing term that means a bad
step at or near the gate in which a horse appears
to stumble.
Checked: A horse racing term that describes runner
pulled up by his jockey for an instant because
of being cut off or racing in tight quarters.
Steadied: A horse being taken in hand by his rider,
usually while in close quarters.
Racing terms could fill a mini-dictionary and
runs the gamut from:
"A": Acey-deucy -- Uneven stirrups,
popularized by Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Arcaro,
who rode with his left (inside) iron lower than
his right to achieve better balance on turns.
to:
"Z": Zantac -- Trade name for the drug
ranitidine, a medication used to treat ulcers.
Now you can enhance you racing term vocabulary,
starting from the top:
These horse racing terms are listed alphabetically.

Horse Racing Betting Options Terms Explained:
Win:
This is that most basic bet that the chosen horse
will finish in first place.
Place: This is a bet that the chosen
horse will finish first or second.
Show: This is a bet that the chosen horse will finish
first, second, or third.
Daily Double: This is a bet on the first place position
in two consecutive races, generally the first two
of the day. The bettor must correctly pick both
races to win.
Daily Triple/Pick Three: This is a bet on the first
place position in three consecutive races.
Pick Six: This is a bet on the first place position
of six consecutive races, generally the last six.
In the event nobody wins, the winning pool is split
between those correctly picking five (or less if
nobody picked five) and a carryover to the next
pick six pool.
Exacta: This bet is on the first and second place
horses in a given race in the correct order.
Quinella: This is a bet is on the first and second
place horse in a given race in any order.
Trifecta: This bet is on the first, second, and
third places in a given race in the correct order.
Twin Trifecta: This is a pair of trifecta bets on
two races. The winning pool is split between winners
of the first trifecta and winners of both of them.
After the first race, winners of that trifecta should
redeem their tickets for winnings from the first
half of the pool and a ticket for the second half.
Superfecta: This bet is on the first, second, third,
and fourth places in a given race in the correct
order.
Odd/Even: This is an uncommon bet based on the number
of the winning horse.
The minimum bet is generally $2 on win, place, and
show bets, and $1 on all others. The player may
bet above the minimum but all bets must be an even
dollar amount (no change). |
