English term or phrase: slot
The groom walked the filly around the slots exactly twice before walking her into her slot, number five.
Roser Berdagu�
Spanish translation:Casilla
Explanation:
I agree with Patrick in his use of "puesto" but I think a more correct or applicable word for this would be "casilla"...which in Mexico is what they call the "slot" a horse is placed in at the starting gate of a race. (that's the sense I get from your context).

Hope this helps:-)
