Best Answer

In horse racing, the horse must finish in the top two, or three, or four of a particular event. If the selection you have placed a bet on is among those places, you will win. As a general rule, in larger races, a horse must finish in the top three but in smaller races, the selection may need to finish in second, or even first, place.

The horse finished 2nd.

The 3 types of "flat bets" are:

  • Win (you bet your horse will finish first)
  • Place (you bet your horse will finish second of first, you win if it does either)
  • Show (you bet your horse will finish first, second or third; again, you win for any of the three)
