 The run for the roses has been around for nearly 150 years, but trifecta wagering on the raise has been offered for less than 30 years. In that amount of time, bettors have found the trifecta to be a hittable wager that consistently returns big numbers. In fact, the average trifecta at the derby paid out $5,700 for a $1 bet. A common approach to play in the try is to box the numbers you like to finish in the top three, covering all combinations for those numbers. A $1 trifecta box of three horses costs $6, boxing four horses costs $24, boxing five is $60, and so on. Last year in the derby, a $1 trifecta paid an incredible $14,870. As long as three of the horses you box make up the top three finishers, you hit the trifecta. Bet the Kentucky Derby Saturday, May 6 with Fandall Sportsbook.
