Batavia Downs - Race 2

Workout

A workout is a timed sprint over varying distances prior to a race, meant to get a horse fit enough for competition.

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Bleeder

A horse that bleeds due to a ruptured blood vessel during a race or workout. The medication Lasix can fix this problem.
