Then there are the "exotics," like the exacta and trifecta, which are bets on the first two and first three runners, respectively. On the last race of each day's card, every track offers a superfecta-picking the first four finishers, in order.

For some time they had noticed that some of the vibrating strings spilling out of their equations didn't correspond to the particles they had expected. At first they viewed these mathematical apparitions as nuisances. Then they looked at them more closely; the ghosts that haunted their equations, they decided, were gravitons, the still hypothetical particles that are believed to carry the gravitational force...
