Today's Golden State Racing at Pleasanton Horse Racing Picks

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.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Bolt

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