Workout

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

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.

Yielding

A rain-soaked turf condition often producing a slick or heavy course and slower finish times.
