Today's Illinois State Fair Horse Racing Picks

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.

Across the Board

Refers to betting on a horse to finish first, second, and third to cover any of those scenarios happening during a race

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.
