RACING 101

 

Wagering on Thoroughbred Horse Racing is easy to get started with,

but can become complex as you get past the basics...

 

Here's a quick tidbit: QuickPicks! You can ask a Teller to give you a "$2 QuickPick on Race 1". It's similar to a Lottery ticket quickpick. See our Youtube video that shows someone buying and later cashing in a QuickPick!
