Racing Lingo
Hey guys
Not much of a horse racing expert but im keen to learn. Sports is more my field of espertise. Haven't actually started betting on races yet but im picking what i would bet and seeing how i would go. I have been watching the races on TV and there are a few things that i dont know what they mean so id thought id ask her. When talking about the market, i hear people say a horse has moved a "point". Does a point equal a dollar? Ive also heard terms like"************s", "tongue ties" Can anyone explain what these are and why a trainer would use these. If there is a website explaining racing lingo then that would make it easier for everyone. Thanks in advanced Punta

For what its worth... In U.S. racing, a false start like Werribee 4 would result in the race being cancelled.
Regards, Glenn
