Today's Delta Downs Horse Racing Picks

Paddock

The area where horses gather before the race to be saddled and paraded for the public.

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.

Bolt

A sudden veering to the inside or outside rail, often caused by the horse spooking or shying from something.
