In 2020 a $2 Place bet on Authentic returned $6.00, and a $2 place bet on the second-place finisher Tiz The Law returned $3.40. This bet is less risky than a Win bet, but also offers a smaller return. If the horse you bet finishes in one of the two top spots, you collect the amount shown in the place column.
A Place wager is betting on a horse that you think will finish in first or second.
