A Tricast Bet, also known as a trifecta in some regions, is a popular horse racing bet. It involves predicting the first three finishers in a race in exact order. This type of bet offers higher payouts compared to simpler bets like win or place, but it also carries more risk due to its complexity.

How Does a Tricast Bet Work?

  • Select three horses you believe will finish first, second, and third in a race.
  • Specify the exact order they will finish.
  • Place your bet with a bookmaker or through an online betting platform.
