Read A Racing Tote Board

As you step toward a pursuit track infield to pocket watch the horses racing, you'll sign the tote board lit with distinctive numbers in colorful columns and categories. Study the tote's break to choose horses and combinations to risk on and to design how even you'll hire provided you slam.


Instructions


1. Probation the assign bit of the upcoming competition to discern how yet longer you hold to pledge. Learn when the race is official. Hold onto your tickets until you see the "Official" sign light up on the board. An "Inquiry" sign means the racing stewards are investigating a situation which may have affected the outcome of the race. If you see "Objection," the stewards are looking into a foul claim a jockey has leveled against another jockey.



3. Confirm the current condition of the track (such as slow, fast or muddy), which could affect the outcome of the race. For instance, even favorites may have difficulty running on a sloppy track.


4. Determine the payoffs from the last race, including the amounts for Win, Place, Show, Exacta and Trifecta.


5. Note the fractional times of the leading horse as a race is run and the final time for the winner.


6. Pocket watch the ongoing odds on horses in the upcoming race. These figures change several times before the race goes off and reflect the amount of money wagered on each horse to Win, Place or Show.2. Discover the exact amount currently bet on each horse to Win, Place or Show and see the total pool for exotic bets like the Exacta and Trifecta.
