Santa Anita Park's Rainbow Pick 6 is a mandatory-payout on Saturday, and the pool is expected to approach $6 million, providing the potential for a HUGE score. The six-race sequence begins with Race 6 at 5:45 p.m. ET and ends with Race 11. Before you make any picks, you NEED to see the picks from. The “standard” Exacta stake is $2. This doesn’t mean you have to stake exactly $2 though. You can stake more if you want, and you can usually stake less. $1 Exactas are available at most locations these. “Fair Pay” Exacta Chart – Click on the link below Exacta Payout Chart Any of the above tools can be minimized down to your bottom tool -bar and kept ready for use during the racing day. Parimutuel betting (from French pari mutuel, 'mutual betting') is a betting system in which all bets of a particular type are placed together in a pool; taxes and the 'house-take' or 'vigorish' are deducted, and payoff odds are calculated by sharing the pool among all winning bets. Let’s say that you wagered on a 2-3 exacta in a particular race. There was a total of $20 wagered on that particular exacta, out of $2,000 in the total Exacta pool. The odds for the 2-3 exacta then would be 100.
