Horse racing handicappers have several proposition bets.   The more traditional include which horse will finish last. The more exotic are aimed at the host New York sports fans such as parlays for those sports handicappers who believe the NY Jets or NY Giants will win the Super Bowl, paired up Saturday’s winner.

For example, wagering the Jets to win Super Bowl 45 and Ice Box to win the Belmont pays +4000.

Gamblers can even hedge their bets by wagering simply that their favorite horse will finish among the Top Three. “With no clear-cut favorite, chalk lovers may flock to this security blanket,” predicts Brian Kayma of ScoresOddsPicks.com . Posted lines to simply win, place, or show:
