Horse Racing Explained: What Is a Dead Heat?

Horse racing has many different terms to measure margin of victory. Going from closest to largest, a horse can win by a nose, head, or neck, by fractions of a length, or by a length or more (a length is, as you might guess, the estimated length of a racehorse, roughly eight feet).

But sometimes, there is no margin to measure – the horses reach the finish line equally together. When that happens, the familiar term “dead heat” is applied, usually after a several-minute wait while the racetrack stewards examine the finish line photo.

Although the feature race last Saturday at Saratoga was the Dunkin’ Diana Stakes for fillies and mares on turf, the most important race on the July 18 card for horse fans and bettors anticipating next spring’s Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve started the day’s action about 2 ½ hours earlier.
