English

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

A horse racing in second position on the rail is said to have the garden spot, since the horse ahead of him is cutting the wind, yet is close enough to the front of the field to make a strong bid in the home stretch.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Courses hippiques et sports équestres
CONT

Un cheval qui occupe la deuxième position, à l'intérieur, derrière le meneur, en course, occupe la position idéale, aux dires des connaisseurs, parce que le cheval qui le précède lui coupe le vent et qu'il pourra chercher à le devancer dans la ligne droite.
