Today's NZ - Awapuni Horse Racing Picks

Sloppy

A wet racetrack condition, typically with a firm base and water settling on top.

Maiden Race

A race exclusively for horses who have not previously won.

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.
