SUPERFECTA
This wager is similar to the trifecta but instead of three runners the player must pick the top four finishers in the exact order.
STRATEGY
Most players wheel several runners in numerous combinations such as
1,2,3,4,5,6/1,2,3,4,5,6/1,2,3,4,5,6/1,2,3,4,5,6. This provides the player with multiple chances and possibly large payouts.
PICK 3
This wager requires the player to pick the winners of three consecutive races. Some race tracks have a rolling pick 3 which is when the player must pick three races in a row and it continues for the next three races.
STRATEGY
Like the Daily Double, the pick three normally requires the player to focus on a key horse in each race and then surround those runners with marginal runners. Most players key on favorites in these types of wagers, but if the player has a strong reason not to pick the favorite the wager may pay huge dividends.
PICK 6
This wager requires the player to select the winner of six consecutive races prior to the first race of the pick six. Some tracks place the pick six as the first six races, the middle six races, or the last six races. Many tracks have carry over pools for the pick six that can grow to as high as a million dollars.
STRATEGY
The novice or medium player will just play numbers such as a lottery. The professional will key at least one horse in each race and surround that runner with numerous savers or marginal horses.
