Today's NZH - Cromwell Horse Racing Picks

Show Wager

Betting on a horse to finish in the first three spots, which pays out the same whether they win or run second or third.

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.

Stewards

The officials watching every race at a meet to enforce the rules.
