The Exacta wager is where you have to select the top two finishers in exact order that they place.
Out of 20 horse competitors, that sounds difficult, but you have the option of boxing, or picking two or more horses to finish in any order.
A $1 two-horse box costs $2, a three-horse box costs $6, and a four-horse box costs $12.
This is a good option because the average $1 exacta payout in the Derby in the past five years has been more than $181.
Most years, the favorite or second favorite finished first or second.
