If you don’t play the horses on a regular basis, you may believe that there are only a few different horse racing betting options on the race. That is actually not the case, as beside the standard win, place, and show bets, there are what are defined as exotics. These bets generally require you to place a ticket that puts your selections in a specific order of finishing. While exotic bets are a good deal more challenging than a win bet, they also come with the bonus of having some potentially very large payouts. In this article, I’ll give you a quick overview of each of the exotic bets, as well as some selections that I might be playing when the 141st running of the Preakness Stakes takes place at Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore on Saturday, May 21.
