scratch sheet
A printed sheet devoted to horse racing generally or to the races to be run on the day of publication, giving the names of the horses entered, the jockeys up on each horse, facts as to the ownership, pedigree, age, and weight of the horses, the distance of the several races, the condition of the track, predictions as to the winners, and notations as to the horses once entered but "scratched," that is, withdrawn from a race, the latter presumably being the feature from which the name of the publication derives.
