Today's FI - Joensuu Horse Racing Picks

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Exercise Rider

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