The twin-trifecta was offered in the Chicago area too. The rules were that you had to hit the first trifecta multiple times if you wanted to play multiple trifecta combinations in race 2. If you wanted to box 3 horses in the second race...then you had to have the first race winning trifecta combination 6 times. I remember this because I actually hit on one of these wagers back in the day. At the time, I considered that to be my luckiest day...but it turned out to be something totally different.
The worst thing for a gambler, serious illness aside...is to score big when you are young.
