NZ - Riccarton - Race 4

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.

Sloppy

A wet racetrack condition, typically with a firm base and water settling on top.

Overlay

A horse going off at higher odds than his recent efforts show that he deserves.
