English

Subject field(s)
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
DEF

A brief last workout (usually three furlongs or a half mile) given a day or two prior to a race and designed to sharpen or maintain a horse's condition.

CONT

The longer workouts are most impressive at racetracks outside of New York or southern California. A blowout in rapid time a day or two before the debut is meaningless. And a prerace training regimen extending beyond ten to fifteen workouts is problematic.

OBS

blowing out: A fairly fast training mile, generally two days before a horse is scheduled to race.
