A
Age | Every horse shares a "birthday" of January first. A horse becomes one year old on the first of January after he or she is born, and turns two, one year later - regardless of the actual date of his or her birth. |
Allowance Race | A race other than claiming for which the racing secretary drafts certain conditions to determine weights. |
B
Blanket Finish | Or photo-finish in which two or more horses are very close at the finish line (one can "throw a blanket over them"). Very common in American Quarter Horse racing. |
Break | When a horse gallops, instead of trotting or pacing, it's on a break. The driver must get the horse out of the way of the others, must not improve his position, and must attempt to get the horse back on its proper gait. A horse is not automatically disqualified by making a break. |
Bullring | A racetrack with either a half-mile or 5/8ths mile oval. |
C
Claiming Race | Race in which horses are entered subject to claim for a specified price. |
Colt | A male horse, age three or under. |
D
Daily Double | A type of wager calling for the selection of winners of two consecutive races, usually the first and second. |
Dead Heat | A tie. Two or more horses finishing equal in a race. |
Derby | A stakes event for three-year-olds. |
Dividend | The amount that a winning or placed horse returns for every $1 that was bet. |
Double Quinella | A wager type that requires the selection of the first two finishers, regardless of order, in each of the two specified contests. This wager type is also known as quinella double. |
E
Entry | A horse entered in a race is called an entry. On rare occasions, two or more horses are said to be coupled and run as an entry, comprising a single wagering unit. A wager on one horse of an entry is a wager on both. |
Exacta | A wager that picks the first two finishers in a race in the exact order of finish. Also referred to as Perfecta. |
Exacta Box | A wager in which all possible combinations using a given number of horses are covered. |
Exotic | Any wager other than win, place or show. |
Exposure | The amount of money one actually stands to lose on a game or race. |
Extended | Forced to run at top speed. |
