Today's AU - Gulgong Horse Racing Picks

Fractions

The times recorded during the race; with timing starting just past the gate or when the gates open, then parroted for the quarter, half, three-quarters etc. Used as an indication of ability and speed.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Workout

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