English

Subject field(s)
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
  • Games of Chance
DEF

A wager on one or more of the horses [which] must finish a race in a predetermined order while being coupled along with all the other horses in the field that finish the race in the money.

CONT

The idea of an exacta wheel is that when you have one horse to bet in an exacta, you "wheel" him on top of all the other to be 2nd. Exacta wheel wagers may be made in $1 increments. Let's call a wheel bet, with our horse being n° 7. You say :"$2 exacta wheel, n° 7 with all. "

OBS

Wheeling a horse is coupling him with every other horse in the race to win an exacta or quinella, or with every horse in the other race to win a daily double. Obviously, if your "wheel" horse wins, you’re winner since you’ve got all bases covered.
