perfecta
First-and-second bet
A perfecta is a bet in horse racing where you pick the first two finishers in exact order.
The term comes from Spanish and is used interchangeably with exacta in American racing: I hit the perfecta with a 15-1 longshot in second.
The bet pays well because predicting the precise order is difficult.
