Horse Racing Terms – The "O" List
Oaks: A stakes event for 3-year-old fillies.
Objection: Claim of foul lodged by rider, trainer or patrol judge after running of a race. If lodged by stewards, it’s called an inquiry.
Odds-on: Odds of less than even money.
Official: Notice displayed when a race result is confirmed.
Off-track betting (OTB): Wagering at legalized betting outlets usually run by the tracks, management companies specializing in pari-mutuel wagering, or, in New York State, by independent corporations chartered by the state. Wagers at OTB sites are usually commingled with on-track betting pools.
