Quinella is a word commonly used in horse racing that refers to a type of bet where the bettor needs to select the first two winners in a race, regardless of the order in which they finish. However, there are several synonyms that can also be used to refer to this type of bet. For instance, boxed exacta, dual forecast, perfecta, or reverse forecast are all synonyms that mean essentially the same thing as a quinella. A bettor's understanding of the various terminologies used in horse racing is important to ensure successful participation in the betting process.
