BOXING & KEYING
BOXING
Type of wager where you can try different combinations of the horses selected in wagers such as exactors, triactors and superfectas.
Sample Bets: $1 triactor box numbers 1, 3, and 7. If you box your selections, as long as the horses you have picked finish first, second, and third in any order, you win.
KEYING
For all exotic wagers, you may key a single horse in any race or in a certain finishing position. When you feel that one of your selections will finish in a certain position, either first, second, third or fourth, the horse you select to finish in a certain position is your “key” horse. The other horses you have picked may then finish in any order and you are a winner.
