Today's NZ - Ellerslie Horse Racing Picks

Stakes Race

Stakes Races are known as better class races, with higher purses and often accompanies by trophies.

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.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
