win place show
Top three finishers
Win place show describes the three finishing positions in horse racing that pay out to bettors.
A win bet pays only if your horse finishes first; place pays for first or second; show pays for first, second, or third.
The phrase often appears as a single unit describing this trio of outcomes: I bet five dollars win place show on the favorite.
