Today's Cal Expo Horse Racing Picks

State-Bred

A horse bred in a particular state and thus eligible to race in restricted state-bred races. These can be anything from maiden races to stakes events.

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.

Blinkers

A hood worn on a horse’s head to limit side vision, which can improve concentration. Blinkers are added or removed to relax a horse or give it more focus.
