Harrahs Philadelphia - Race 8

Workout

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

Rabbit

Also known as a pacemaker; this is a horse with no expected chance of winning but is used to prompt a quick pace on the front end of the race to the benefit of a stablemate who is a closer.

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.
