围场, 小牧场
small enclosed area or field where horses are kept, exercised, or prepared before a race
A paddock is an area where racehorses are kept before and after a race. It is typically located near the racetrack, and horses are led there to be saddled, warmed up, and prepared for the race. Trainers, jockeys, and owners often gather in the paddock to inspect the horses and assess their readiness. The paddock also provides a safe space for horses to rest and be observed before entering the race. It serves as a staging area for the final preparations before the horses head to the starting line.
