10 Horse Racing Words You Have To Learn As A Beginner

Handicappers
This term refers to the people who bet on horses by studying the horses' history, including past performances, their jockeys' physical shape, their training, and a lot before placing a bet on a race. Handicappers also look for the less-likely horses who pay high at the betting windows.

In the money
This phrase means that a horse is finished first, second, or third, although "in the money" is more used for second and third positions rather than for the first one.

Juvenile
With this term, you can refer to horses aged 2 years old. Anyway, this term is above all used in the Breeders' Cup World Championships that hosts races for juvenile colts and fillies (female horses).
