We want your visit to be enjoyable and we want you to win! The way fans bet on horse racing is called "pari-mutuel wagering". That means you are betting against the other fans, and you set the odds. You are not betting against the track. The track's role is to handle the pool of money bet and redistribute the money to the winners.

How Do I Place A Bet?
It's easy and it's fun and our entire staff is ready to help you or answer questions at any time. Betting is as easy as A, B, C. You place your bet by:
A. The dollar amount.
B. The type of bet.
C. The horse's program number.
For example: "$5 to win on Number 1."

The Basic Bets
• WIN...Bet a horse to win, and if he finishes first, you collect.
• PLACE...Bet a horse to place, and if he finishes first or second, you collect.
• SHOW...Bet a horse to show, and if he finishes first or second, or third, you collect.
• ACROSS THE BOARD...Betting to win, place and show (three separate bets) $2 across the board on Number 1 is the same as $2 to win, $2 to place, and $2 to show.
