Today's Emerald Downs Horse Racing Picks

Exacta

A bet selecting the first and second horses in a race in the correct order. An exacta box refers to paying a little more to ensure they can finish in either order.

Yielding

A rain-soaked turf condition often producing a slick or heavy course and slower finish times.

Dead Heat

Two or more horses finishing so close at the wire, that they were unable to be separated on a photo finish and deemed to have tied.
