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).
