With this type of wager, the player must pick the runners that finish first and second in the race in direct order. A player can box this wager and it is known as an exacta box. In this wager, the runners must finish first and second in any order.

When you make a wager at a racetrack you are NOT betting against the "house" as with most casino games. Pari-mutuel wagering means "betting among ourselves." The odds are dynamic and are solely dependent upon how you, the participants, place your wagers. When you're at the track or a simulcast wagering facility, the track extracts a commission from all wagers made, and re-distributes the remaining funds (or wagering "pool") among the winners.
