Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but WALHAAN rates just the pick of the weights so is fancied to bag another C&D success at the chief expense of improving Limerick scorer Matt Connor who rates a big threat. Bowensonfire is another who brings solid credentials to the table along with Balko d'Ange, Ace Brannigan, Joueur Masque and Prairie Dancer.

Upcoming Races

Horse Racing Basic Terms

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.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.
