Today's FR - Salon De Provence Horse Racing Picks

Handicap

A race where a handicapper has assigned weights to be carried by all runners on the basis of their past racing efforts.

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.

Paddock

The area where horses gather before the race to be saddled and paraded for the public.
