Can Someone Please Explain "b d" for Workout Notes?? - Horse Racing Forum - PaceAdvantage.Com

TheOracle · 05-30-2020, 12:51 PM

Below are the workouts that I found on the Turf at Belmont and the notes say "b d" from May 28th up to today

Does anyone know what "b d" means?

I imagine "b" is breezing but not sure what the "d" stands for

b means "breezing"

d means "dogs", I think. basically, there are cones put out to keep the horses so far off the rail. Usually are on turf works.

Remember, makes the work a little longer in distance also.

It is primarily to keep the turf intact by running on different parts of it. I'm not sure about the distance thing that Jay just mentioned. For whatever reason, I don't see turf workouts very often.
