Horse Racing: Jockey & Horse Lingo

Many sports have their own lexicon that spectators or participants of the sport must understand. This is true for the sport of horse racing. When you go to the track or watch races on the television, knowing these terms can help make the whole experience much more enjoyable.
There are different words used to refer to the jockeys in horse racing. An amateur would be a rider who is not a professional. If this is the case, when their name is listed on the racecard it will come with a title such as Mister or Captain. An apprentice is an inexperienced jockey who is learning how to race from the tutelage of a trainer. In flat racing, apprentices are referred to as claimers. In National Hunt Racing, jockeys under the age of 26 may receive a weight allowance. These jockeys are known as conditional jockeys.
Different verbiage is used to describe the horses that participate in these races. For instance, a bay would be a horse that has a brown body with a mane and tail that are both black. Chestnut horses are those horses that have a ginger colouring all over their body. A grey would be a horse that is both black and grey. In some situations, the main, tail and legs can be grey or they can be black. When greys age, they become much lighter. They seem to take on a white hue but are still known as greys.
Fillies are female horses that are no older than 4 years old. Geldings would be male horses that have been castrated which is also referred to as gelding. Geldings make better race horses than the uncastrated stallions that tend to have shorter careers in racing. Another term used to describe a horse is stayer.

Jason Kidd leave the game because of back injury and his return is still doubtful

Even though Mavericks lost the Thursday game to Spurs, there is more bad news for the team. Thursday game with Spurs saw Jason Kidd from Mavericks to turn out because of lower back strain. After the injury, he did not return to the game and now it seems that there are doubts about his return. This news has been confirmed by Maverick’s spokesperson. When San Antonio was playing with a 31-17 lead, Kidd played only 11:32 out of first quarter of the game, and then he checked out of the court and headed towards the locker room. He also missed both his shots and turned one with the help of three assists.

After suffering a big loss against San Antonio Spurs, who were playing without Manu Ginobili, the injury of Jason Kidd is a matter of concern for Mavericks. Because of the lower back strain that Kidd suffered, there are doubts about his presence in Saturday’s game. During the game Vince Carter replaced Kidd, as his return was not sure at all. When Mavericks stumbled with just 11 turnovers and 28.9% shooting, at this point Kidd’s injury can affect the coming match of Mavericks as well.

Jason Kidd was able to play just 12 minutes and then he just sat out for the rest of the game, and the team officials informed about the lower back strain. When it comes to the reason of the strain, nothing has been said clearly. This means that it is not clear yet as how Kidd suffered the lower back strain in the game. The next game of Mavericks is against New Orleans and the status of Kidd is yet not known.

The expert point guard at present is averaging about 5.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in the current season in order to defend NBA champions.

The injury updates about Kidd does not indicates anything about his return, so if Kidd does not recover from the back strain, then the team might have to play the next game without him. After Kidd returned in the first quarter of Thursday’s game, it was Richard Jefferson, who did the damage with13 points and Matt Bonner’s 11 points followed this damage. The starters from Mavericks went back to locker room with just eight combined points for the team. Now, only time will tell what will happen with Mavericks when they will step on the court without Kidd against New Orleans on Saturday.
