I bet an exacta box, not sure if I won.?

Question

one of my horses in my exacta box came in second, but the other one came in 3rd and not first. Did I win anything because one of the horses finished second, and he was in my exacta box?

Answer 1

You Lost,tear up the ticket,trust me

Answer 2

No.  It is frustrating to have the 2nd and 3rd best horses in a race like that, but if you don't have Curlin on top you don't get anything.  Happens to me all the time.

Answer 3

No. In an exacta box, both of your horses have to come in first and second. You were close, but no cigar.

Answer 4

An exacta box is the 1st and 2nd horses. Tattoo an "L" on your forehead because you are a looser. Sorry.
