Key Entry Plays

This is generally used for trifectas and superfectas where the player believes they have already picked the winner and want to 'box' other horses into the other positions. For example, a $2 trifecta keying the '1' horse to win over the 2-3-4 would cost $12 and if the '1' wins and any combinations of 2, 3, and 4 come in second and third the trifecta is a winner. This is actually 6 separate bets that break down like this:

Bet 1 - $2 - Trifecta 1-2-3
Bet 2 - $2 - Trifecta 1-2-4
Bet 3 - $2 - Trifecta 1-3-2
Bet 4 - $2 - Trifecta 1-3-4
Bet 5 - $2 - Trifecta 1-4-2
Bet 6 - $2 - Trifecta 1-4-3

As many horses as a player wants can be used and the number of wagers and prices increase accordingly. (click to edit)
