To place a Trifecta bet you must choose three horses that you believe will finish first, second and third. To win the bet, those three horses must finish in that order.

Trifecta Box Bet

A common way to play a Trifecta is to box three horses. A $1 box using #1,#2, and #3 would cost $6. The three horses you selected must finish in the top three spots for you to win. A four-horse $1 box would cost $24. Often a better way to play is called a Trifecta key. In this wager, you use one or more “key” horses. For instance if you liked the #1 to win, you could play a $1 Trifecta key of #1 over #2,#3,#4,#5 over #2,#3,#4,#5. This would be a $12 ticket. You need the #1 to win the race and any of your other four contenders to finish second and third. A Trifecta can be tough to hit because often it seems just about any runner in a race can plod home and land third. It is usually best if you can find one or two “key” horses and use those on top, then spreading your ticket out for the second and third spot.

Finding a longshot to land in your Trifecta could be the difference from making a small profit and making a big score. If you are looking to bet a trifecta, check out our 2021 Breeders’ Cup Betting Guide.

Just boxing contenders can get pricey:

$1 box using 3 horses = $6

$1 box using 4 horses = $24

$1 box using 5 horses = $60

$1 box using 6 horses = $120

Using a boxing method also means you are weighing all of the contenders with an equal chance of winning. It’s better to try to find one or two key horses to use on top that you think have a great chance of winning the race.

The Best Trifecta Strategy

Here are a few ways to get good coverage with modest investments:

#1,#2 with #1,#2,#3 with #1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6 = $16

#1,#2 with #1,#2,#3,#4 with #1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6 = $24

#1,#2,#3 with #1,#2,#3,#4 with #1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6 = $36

Many tracks now have .50 cent trifectas!

Since it’s generally easier to pick a winner than pick a horse that is going to finish third, it’s a good idea to spread out the options for the third spot. Ideally, when playing Trifecta keys you have a solid opinion on one or two runners in the race and spread enough in the third position in hopes of landing a horse that could be a generous price and increase the payoff. In general, Trifectas don’t offer much value in fields with less than seven runners. Horse races with large fields usually generate the largest payoffs.

bleacherreport.com - Triple Crown Winners: Ranking the Best Horses of All-Time

0 of 11

Only 11 horses in the 137 years of the Triple Crown have captured horse racing's greatest achievement, sweeping the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. The horse who achieves this is forever recognized as a Triple Crown winner. Although none of the 11 are currently alive, they all still live on in racing history. Earlier in Triple Crown history the time between the races used to be shorter, and most of them would even run a prep-race between the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. Nowadays, as horses are bred for speed and not endurance, it would be unheard of to squeeze in a start in another race between them. Now is five weeks between the first and third legs. The Kentucky Derby goes first being run the first Saturday of May, the Preakness follows two weeks after and the Belmont Stakes three weeks after the Preakness. It has been 34 years since Affirmed won it in 1978. And as we draw closer to I'll Have Another's attempt to join this 11 immortals, let's look at my ranking of the Triple Crown winners.
