Today's SE - Mantorp Horse Racing Picks

Starter Race

An allowance race restricted to horses who have started for a certain claiming price recently.

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.

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.
