Glossary of Horse Racing Terms

Sat, 04/21/2007 - 23:02

Horse racing terms are an entire language unto themselves. If you spend any length of time at the track or OTB you’ll get the idea that the regulars (bettors or “punters” in the UK) are from another land, or perhaps simply some kind of shady underworld (which is much closer to the truth). Even if you’re well on your way to becoming a grizzled, eccentric racing veteran, you may hear something odd—particularly from a Brit—that you think may be key to enhancing your handicapping abilities.
