Part (7) Key Wheeling in a Trifecta Bet
Key-wheeling
in a trifecta bet means selecting a key horse in a fixed
position, usually first, and wheeling any number of
other horses in multiple combinations to finish in the
remaining positions, usually second and third. If the
1 is key-wheeled with the 2, 3, and 5, the combinations
of 1-2-3, 1-2-5, 1-3-2, 1-3-5, 1-5-2, and 1-5-3 are
covered. As long as the 1 is the winner and any combination
of the numbers 2, 3, and 5 are second and third, the
key-wheeled wager is a winner. The more numbers used
with the key-wheeled selection, the greater the number
of possibilities covered. However, the more numbers
used, the greater the cost to cover the wager.

A
simple rule to remember to compute the cost
of a key-wheeled trifecta wager would be as follows:
the number of horses to be boxed with the keyed
selection MULTIPLIED by the next
lowest number MULTIPLIED by the
dollar amount of the wager. EXAMPLE:
A key-wheeled trifecta using 4 choices with the key-wheeled
selection for $2 would be computed 4
( the number of horses boxed with the key-wheeled selection)
x 3 (next lowest number) x 2
(dollar amount of wager) = $24.
