Today's Santa Rosa Horse Racing Picks

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.

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.

Exercise Rider

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