Today's AU - Toodyay Horse Racing Picks

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Firm

A dry turf course, equal to a ‘fast’ dirt track.

Yielding

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