Today's AU - Ballina Horse Racing Picks

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.

Bolt

A sudden veering to the inside or outside rail, often caused by the horse spooking or shying from something.
