Once in the sop walk over to one of the ATM looking machines and press cn_Y. From here you will be taken to a betting screen. Pick a horse and place a bet (I recommend the lowest so you don't lose much money but it is up to you). I recommend always betting on the same horse until it wins. Personally it took me 4 bets to win.

Once the bet is placed you will be taken to another screen, this will be the horse race.
If your horse wins, you get the achievement.

Huh, this seems to be 100% random, in most games with this kinda betting system, the one with 2/1 odds usually always wins, yet I've bet on the odds winner about 15 times now, and they have yet to win.

The two guides here are great already but here's an easy way to get this achievement, Metrosexual and American Dream achievement...

Save before you go bet, then bet everything on the highest odd, in my experience you have to lose and reload twice before hitting the win on third try... It make take less or more attempts

Just save, go bet, if you lose then reload save and repeat

I made just over 2 million in 10 mins, so worth it as you'll need a lot of ammo and armour for the gangs and main story

Hope this helps :)

I'm sure I must be missing something very obvious but how do you reload a save? Have I overlooked the blindingly obvious in the menus....?

This Achievement is completely luck based. You can find Inside Track in the starting area of the Game up the top near the freeway. The Minimum bet you can place is $5. Once you're inside walk up to the machine and press cn_Y choose a Horse and bet size and your off.

Stick with the $5 bets because you may need to retry a few times to win a race and the favourite doesn't always win.

There are two places you can find Inside Track betting shops – in Downtown, Central Los Santos and Montgomery, north Red County. Place a bet of $5 (or more if you are feeling confident!) on a horse and see if it wins. If it does, fantastic, and you will have unlocked the achievement. If not, simply try again, and keep betting on horse until you win. Statistically, you are more likely to win if you keep betting on the same horse. Despite the odds shown, the winner appears to be random.

The video below shows you where to find the betting shop to unlock this (skip to 1:07), as well as the following achievement.

Inside Track Betting is located in Downtown Los Santos and Montgomery, Red County. Simply bet on any race and hope that you win.

NOTE: If you want to make lots of money very quickly, get to Catalina's missions so her save point is accessible. Then save your game there and drive down to the shop. Bet all of your money on one of the higher payout horses (7:1 or 9:1). If you lose, reload the save and try again. Keep betting all your money on the same ratio horse, and eventually you'll win. Keep doing this to multiply your money exponentially. Best done with about $50,000 or more to save time. (12:1 or 11:1 can take quite a long time to win, so it is best to use the lower ratios)
