    Kentucky Derby
    I am having difficulties in understanding the racing vocabulary:-

    1) There were 19 Contenders on the list.

    2) There were 8 OFF THE TRAIL on a list that followed.

    What is the meaning of Off The Trail ?

    A quick Googling would have immediately told you that "off the trail" refers to the horses that are definitely not going to the Derby due to injury, illness, etc.
