caption_attribution_description: Horse wearing "Australian-winkers"(Perfect Joy(JPN)).
context_page_description: The Australian and New Zealand punting glossary explains some of the terms, jargon and slang which are commonly used and heard on Australian and New Zealand racecourses, in TABs, on radio, and in the horse racing media. Some terms are peculiar to Australia, such as references to bookmakers, but most are used in both countries.
  The emphasis in this list is on gambling terms, rather than the breeding or veterinary side of horse racing.
context_section_description: Via the cape: The horse ran wide on the home turn and covered too much ground. The expression is probably an analogy of the ocean voyage from the UK to Australia via the Cape of Good Hope compared to the more direct route via the Suez Canal.
  Visor blinkers: Blinkers that have a peep hole cut in them and are used to limit a horse's vision during a race and improve concentration.
caption: Coloured winkers, of the style used in Thoroughbred racing.
