Calculate exacta wheel cost when keying one horse in first or second position with multiple other horses.
What is an Exacta Wheel?
An exacta wheel lets you "key" one horse in either first or second place and pair it with multiple other horses. This is more cost-effective than boxing when you have a strong opinion on one horse but are unsure about the other finisher.
Wheel Strategies
- Key in First: Your horse wins, any of the others finish second
- Key in Second: Any of the others win, your horse finishes second
- Full Wheel: Key both directions for twice the cost but more coverage
