Today's Evangeline Downs Horse Racing Picks

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.

Underlay

A horse that is going off at lower odds than it deserves based on performance.

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.
