You should keep an eye on "Showing Up," if he runs in the Derby. He and "Barbaro" are both undefeated horses from owners Gretchen and Roy Jackson. If they both compete, it will mark the first time an owner(s) has sent two undefeated horses to the Derby.

It's a plural word usually - les cheveux.  Not to be confused with les chevaux, which means Horses.  Singular is le cheveu, basically that's a strand of hair.

Suppose there were three horses running in a race. If you put money on each one of them to win, place or show, you are guarenteed to win three times because each of them will win, place or show. That is hedging a bet. I'm not sure why they use the word 'hedging', but that is the general idea.

I think it is an Australian term and has something to do with the silks (or colours).\n\nFound this for you.... (it is not the colours)\nROLLING ALONG: Just why are jockeys called hoops? "Hayes hoops cop a hiding", said yesterday's The Sunday Age over Saturday suspensions of Craig Williams and Dwayne Dunn. According to Alec Selman, the former stipendiary steward, an example of it was seen in Melbourne recently when the Irish jockeys were competing there. "One had a fall and rolled along the ground [like a hoop]," he pointed out. The jockey remained motionless, a point all once followed until attended by the ambulance men. "The term originated from the National Hunt racing in Great Britain," Selman added.

Jockey comes from the Scottish word for boy (jock). It of course is used to denote the small men or boys who ride race horses. I assume the small pump meant a "boy" pump rather than the main or larger pump (the man). \n\nThis is just a guess but it makes a good story until someone comes up with something better.

Yup, jockeys are the most in-shape and toughest athletes you can imagine. They are small, but they still need enough power to control and direct a thousand-pound animal. Plus, they need to condition the horses on a daily basis, along with the trainers. There isn't really any such thing as "a day off" in the horse industry.

Trainers try different pitched shoes, more commonly in standardbreds.\nThe different pitch will change the length of stride.\nA horse with little or no pitch will land shorter in stride, using more strides but less tiring, versus a longer stride to acheive better speed but more grueling.\nCan be applied for  a "BIG" race with a planned rest after.\n\nNot to be confused with pitching wedge!

A Garrison finish is a finish to a race where the winner comes from behind at the last minute to win.\n\nIt is named after the American jockey Edward Henry "Snapper"\nGarrison(1863-1930) who was famous for such finishes.

In horse racing the first horse across the finish line is in the money. The second horse across is in the show place. This is from a song from the forties. If you were to go to the track today you would find Win Place Show, first second third. These are catagories of talking about the winnings of a horse.

If you search for the word on Google, in addition to references to the horse, you also get lots of sites from Estonia.  However, the Estonian dictionaries I can find do not have a translation listed.  Sorry.
