More on Racing in New Hampshire
Rockingham Park in Salem was New Hampshire’s racing home for more than a century. Seabiscuit raced there, and Hinsdale ran harness racing from 1958 to 1985. Today New Hampshire racing fans bet the national circuit, from Saratoga and Belmont Park to the Triple Crown and the Breeders’ Cup.
Rockingham Park originally began racing in 1906 but was quickly shut down by the state government, since gambling was illegal in the Granite State. The state legislature legalized pari-mutuel wagering on April 23, 1933. Less than two months later, Rockingham Park reopened.
Thoroughbred racing was held there through 2002.
Through simulcasting and ADW sites, New Hampshire horse bettors can access action on any of the major stakes events across North America.
How to Bet on Horse Racing
New to the windows? Start with the straight bets. A win bet needs your horse to finish first; place pays if it runs first or second; show pays for first, second or third. They are the cheapest way to learn the game.
From there come the exotics, where the real payouts live. The exacta asks for the first two home in order, the trifecta the first three, and the superfecta the first four. Multi-race bets — the daily double, Pick 3, Pick 4 and Pick 6 — string winners together across races, and the Pick 6 jackpot can roll into life-changing money. Our guide to exotic bets walks through each one, and the beginner’s guide to betting on racing covers the basics end to end.
An across-the-board bet allows a win on a horse whether it finishes first, second or third. If the horse in an across-the-board wager wins the race, it pays out on the win, place and show prices.
Exactas, trifectas and superfectas can each be boxed, allowing the wagered horses to finish in any order among the places that pay off. Quinella wagering, picking the top two finishers in either order, is another option.
Multiple wagers available are the daily double, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, and Pick 6. Bettors must correctly pick the winners of that many successive races on the card.
