Scioto Downs - Race 6

Workout

A workout is a timed sprint over varying distances prior to a race, meant to get a horse fit enough for competition.

Tack

The equipment the horse wears, including saddle and bridle. A jockey typically has their own racing saddle, placed on each horse they ride just before the race.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.
