Today's Colonial Downs Horse Racing Picks

Tack

The equipment the horse wears, including saddle and bridle. A jockey typically has their own racing saddle, placed on each horse they ride just before the race.

Exercise Rider

A rider built much like a jockey but is employed for exercising and working out horses in the morning.

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.
