RUN-DOWN — Steeplechasers place great stress on their fragile forelegs while stretched out racing at speeds often in excess of 35 miles per hour. The back of the fetlock (ankle) can hyperextend and make contact with the ground when running. Trainers place run-down bandages on the front, and sometimes the back, legs to protect the delicate sesamoid bone and the skin against abrasion.
SET-DOWN — (Also suspended) If a rider causes another to be impeded during a race, the infraction if reviewed by the stewards and he risks being disqualified. A rider can be set down for either the one race or a number of racing days, depending on the severity of the infraction.
SET HIM DOWN — When a rider gathers a horse for a final burst of speed at the end of a race, he is said to set the horse down to run. A rider might scrub his mount out with his hands at this time, or ride him out with heels and whip.
