Here are some wager examples.
You have a beginning bankroll of $2000 the first day. You have $200 to wager on up to 3 races today. You decide to wager $100 of that on the Santa Anita Derby (1 of the 15 mandatory Stakes races, you have to bet any 10 of those).
Your 3 betting interests are horses: #1, #3 and #5
Your bets are:
$40 Win #1
$15 Win #3 $25 Place #3 (a longshot)
$3 Exacta Box 1-3-5 ($18)
$2 Exacta 3-1
Total: $100
You have $100 left to wager that day. You decide to bet it all on a Maiden Claimer at Will Rogers Downs.
Your 3 betting interests are: #1 or 1A (entry), #5 and #10
Your bets are:
$50 Win #1
$10 Exacta Key 1 over 5 and 10 ($20)
$4 Exacta Box 1-5-10 ($24)
$6 Exacta 1-10
Total: $100
The race runs 1A - 10 - 7. All 4 of your above bets pay off.
Another day, your beginning bankroll is $2,475, and you have 10% or $248 (round up) to wager that day.
You bet it all on 1 race. Your horses are #1A (part of an entry), and #7 (you are only playing 2 horses in this race)
$100 Win #1A and #7 ($200) - you think the #1 is a dog: if the #1A scratches you don't want the #1
$24 Exacta Box 1A - 7 ($48)
Total: $248
The #1A scratches at 5 MTP! You catch it in time and substitute the #3 horse. You reissue all your wagers:
$50 Win/Place #3 ($100)
$100 Win #7 ($100)
$24 Exacta Box 3-7 ($48)
Total: $248
(the #1 wins and you lose all your bets. C'est la vie! )
