Today's GB - Taunton Horse Racing Picks

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.

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.

Paddock

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