English term or phrase: eligible
Bonjour,

je traduis un texte parlant de course hippiques, plus particulièrement de la Breeder's Cup qui a eu lieu chaque année à la fin du Oak Tree Meet de Santa Anita. Un jockey attend le tirage au sort pour savoir si oui ou non il pourra participer à une des courses de la Breeder's Cup (il était sur liste d'attente). Dans la phrase suivante, savez-vous ce que signifie "eligible" ?

"The next race we will draw is the Juvenile Turf, with 12 and one also eligible."

Explanation:
Le terme (English term or phrase) ne devrait pas être ''eligible'' mais plutôt ''also-eligible'':

American horse racing dictionary

A horse officially entered for a race, but not permitted to start unless the field is reduced by scratches below a specified number.

http://dictionary.babylon.com/also-eligible/


Les dispositions réglementaires préciseront en outre comment la « règle de substitution du favori » pouvant être appliquée sur les chevaux « aussi éligibles » et sur ceux de remplacement choisis par le client.

http://www4.agr.gc.ca/AAFC-AAC/display-afficher.do?id=120483...

Regulations will outline the requirements for the possible application of the "favourite substitution rule", betting on "also eligibles", and patron-selected alternate runners.

Also-eligible - a horse that is entered but that does not make the body of the race at entry time may be placed on the also-eligible list. For example, a race may have 12 entries and four also-eligibles or "alsos.” A horse on the alsos cannot get into the actual race unless a horse is scratched out of the body of the race. If no horses scratch (are withdrawn) from the body of a race before a prescribed time, the also-eligible horses are also scratched.

Top 9 money-winners declared will advance to the final, plus 2 also-eligibles

This race will be drawn with 14 starters and 6 also eligibles.
