Today's Hawthorne Matinee Horse Racing Picks

Maiden Race

A race exclusively for horses who have not previously won.

Breeder

The owner of a horse’s dam – or mother - at the time a horse is foaled.

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.
