Welcome to the Track
When it comes to entertainment, there’s nothing quite like the track. It’s a place where you’ll find all the fun, suspense and heart pounding excitement you could want. It’s a place that lets you appreciate the power and beauty of a fine horse, the skill of the rider and enjoy the rush of betting on both to lead the way across the finish line.

We guarantee you’ll find just what you’re looking for – and if you can’t find excitement here, we suggest you check your pulse to ensure that you indeed have one.

HERE ARE SOME FACTS TO THINK ABOUT:
FAVOURITES WIN 33% of the time.
FAVOURITES PLACE (1st or 2nd) 53% of the time.
FAVOURITES SHOW (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) 67% of the time.

The tips above are intended as a guide based on historical results and do not represent actual or implied future performance. Yes, we have to say that legally, but also because it’s true, any horse can come out of nowhere and blow the favourites away! Sometimes the grey ones can be especially sneaky!



BASIC BETS

WIN: Your horse must finish 1st.
PLACE: Your horse must finish 1st or 2nd.
SHOW: Your horse must finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

ACROSS THE BOARD: You’re betting all three at once, WIN, PLACE and SHOW. If your horse wins,
you collect on all three WIN, PLACE and SHOW bets. If your horse comes in 2nd, you collect on the PLACE and SHOW bets. If your horse comes in 3rd, you collect on the SHOW bet.

QUICKPICKS: Can’t decide? Ask for a quick pick and a bet will be randomly selected for you. Or you can simply bet on your lucky number, favourite horse name or the horse that gives you a wink.


More EXOTIC BETS
For these bets remember to say the name of the track, the race number and the amount you’d like to bet.

EXACTOR: Your 2 horses must finish 1st and 2nd in exact order in the same race. Say: “$2 exactor 5 & 6” for #5 to win and 6 to finish 2nd. This bet will cost $2.

EXACTOR BOX: Your 2 horses must finish either 1st or 2nd in the same race. Say: “$2 exactor Box 5&6” and either horse can come in 1st and 2nd. This bet will cost $4.

TRIACTOR: Your 3 horses must finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the same race. Say: “$2 triactor 5, 6, 7” Horse 5 must win, 6 place 2nd and 7 place 3rd. This bet will cost $2.

TRIACTOR BOX: Your 3 horses must finish either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the same race. Say: “$2 triactor box 5, 6, 7”. This gives you horses 5, 6 and 7 to finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in any order. This bet will cost $12.

THE DAILY DOUBLE: You must bet the winners of two consecutive races. Harder to do, but the payoff is sweet.

Some bets are based on picking the winners in a series of consecutive races such as ROLLING PICK 3, SUPERFECTA, WIN 4, PICK 6, or the SUPER 7. If you are interested in these bets, please see Customer Service or visit www.WoodbineEntertainment.com

How BETTING Pays Out

UNDERSTANDING THE ODDS
Contrary to what you might think, the odds are determined by how many people bet on each horse, not by the racetrack. Essentially, the more favoured a horse is with bettors, the lower its odds will pay, while the less popular horses will pay out higher odds. These odds are posted on the TV monitors throughout the racetrack and are automatically updated as the bets are entered.

For example, say the odds for horse #2 are 10/1 and he wins. A $2 bet would pay $20 plus you get back the $2 you paid for the bet.

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES ON A $2 BET:
ODDS 1/2 8/5 2/1 7/2 5/1 10/1
PAYS $3 $5.60 $6 $9 $12 $22
