Such a Thoroughbred track?

Is there such a thing as a Thoroughbred gallops track? If not what would this person be referring to? I assume it's a warm up track but is this the proper term for it?

    "The Gallops" is a British term for a training area off the track.

    For example, there are tons of trainers in Newmarket. Here's a map of "the Gallops" they train on.

    O.K I am from the U.S.A

    gallopig is a trem used for exercizing race horses period

    Now in Europe if they have a different trem for it I am stupid

    But a galloping track ?

    I can say I gallop at the track ? meaning I work at the race track and galloping them

    Breezing is so different then galloping .Period But they use The SAME TRACK FOR THAT ,, AND RUN RACES AT THAT TRACK

    ,,,Unless it is at a FARM,,,,

    I wonder how many people here actually have been at the race track and have a license to gallop ? Because its so simple .. But when you gallop a horse on the track you should ,ALSO KNOW HOW TO BREEZE ON AND WORK ONE OUT WHICH IS 3 DIFFERENT THINGS

    BUT A GOOD ONE DOES IT ALL

    Source(s): Hope this helps But if your from out side of the U,S,A Then they may be right ,,????? Do not forget working at a farm ,, which is very different form a race track where they run horses in a race to the public,,

    They are probably referring to "galloping" or another term is "breezing" ~ it's a training sprint for race horses. They don't go All Out as fast as possible (that's actually only done on race day) but do run against other horses that are being trained and are at the same level. This is done at any track where training is done.

    Source(s): A friend of mine has race horses and I've gone with her on days when her horses are going to be "breezed". It gives her an idea of the readiness and strength of her horses.
