Today's Assiniboia Downs 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.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

State-Bred

A horse bred in a particular state and thus eligible to race in restricted state-bred races. These can be anything from maiden races to stakes events.
