All of these have one thing in common which makes them beginner-friendly- you have to pick just one horse.
You bet on the horse you think will finish in the first place. If the horse wins, you win. This is the basic and most popular betting market in the Kentucky Derby.
You bet on a horse to win either in the first or second place. If the horse finishes in either position, you win.
You bet that a horse will finish in any of the top three positions. If it does, you win. The exact position makes no difference in the winning amount.
