Today's AU - Bunbury Horse Racing Picks

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Dead Heat

Two or more horses finishing so close at the wire, that they were unable to be separated on a photo finish and deemed to have tied.

Exercise Rider

A rider built much like a jockey but is employed for exercising and working out horses in the morning.
