Exacta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the type of bet. For the brand camera, see Exakta.

An Exacta is a type of parimutuel bet placed in horse racing which requires the bettor to select the first and second place finishers of the race in the correct order.

This is more difficult than selecting only the winner of the race, and the resulting payouts for correctly placing an exacta bet are therefore correspondingly higher.

An exacta is often called a perfecta in some New England states of the USA.
