Racing Terminology

Gorse Fox, having studied the form book noticed the interesting racing terminology used to describe the runners. Some examples:
  • Easy-paced bitch has not been lasting home, needs trouble behind
  • Bitch is quickly making up for lost time
  • Came with a wet sail late on Tuesday (err, what?)
  • Met an in-form bitch earlier this week (and?)
  • Old-stager is showing signs of wear and tear (GF knows how he feels)
  • Has not been sending out the right signals
  • It's never comfortable viewing for her supporters (Hey, GF is a Spurs supporter, he knows what that means).
