UN-der-kard
Definition
The series of horse races that occur on the same program as a major featured event, but prior to that headline race.
Etymology
Derived from the combination of the prefix 'under-' and 'card' in the sense of a 'race card' or schedule. It originated in boxing and other sports to refer to the preliminary events that take place before the main attraction.
In the news
The article mentions that Desruisseaux’s horse, G T Five Hundred, will compete in the King's Plate undercard, meaning it will race on the same day as the main King's Plate event but is not part of the primary race itself.
