Workout

A workout is a timed sprint over varying distances prior to a race, meant to get a horse fit enough for competition.

Paddock

The area where horses gather before the race to be saddled and paraded for the public.

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.
