Jockey stated that he was not familiar with this filly but was instructed to jump off mid division, creep into the race and to do his best. Jockey further explained that the filly wore a hood as she can be hot in her temperament and the first attempt to start this race was a false start. On the second attempt to start, the filly was further back than instructed but he let her find her rhythm in an even run gallop and was not aggressive on her. Jockey described the filly as being novicey and passed tired horses when quickening well before levelling off in the final furlong. Jockey admitted that his ride was misjudged. Trainer confirmed the riding instructions and explained why the filly had worn a hood on her only two runs. On viewing the video, he stated that he was disappointed with the ride as he had instructed the rider to ride mid division. Stewards were satisfied that the jockey was in breach of Rule 212A(ii) by riding in such a way that his mount cannot be seen to be the subject of a genuine attempt to obtain from the horse, timely, real and substantial efforts to achieve the best possible place. Furthermore, the Stewards having considered the provisions of Rule 212C(d) and using their powers under Rule 14(iii) suspended Can't Stop Smiling for 42 racedays)

What these words mean

Underrated horse
We think this horse has a better chance than the bookmakers' odds suggest.
Our top pick
The horse with the highest TrackLab Score in the race.
TrackLab Score
Our model's estimate of a horse's chance of winning, as a number out of 100. The scores in a race add up to 100.
Ground
How the going was on the day, from Firm (hard and dry) to Heavy (very wet and muddy). On all-weather tracks it's Standard, Fast or Slow.
Race level (Class)
From Class 1 (elite) down to Class 7 (lowest).
Group, Grade and Listed
The top races. Group 1 on the Flat and Grade 1 over jumps are the highest level, then 2 and 3. Listed races sit just below.
Handicap
The handicapper gives better horses more weight to carry, so in theory they'd all finish together.
Maiden
A race for horses that haven't won yet.
Novice
A race for horses that are new to this type of race.
Chase, hurdle and bumper
Chase: jumps over fences. Hurdle: jumps over low hurdles. Bumper: a flat race for young jump horses.
Distance (m and f)
m is a mile and f a furlong, about 200 metres; 8 furlongs make a mile.
Each way
A bet that pays out if your horse wins or finishes in the top 3 (how far down it pays varies by race). It is really two bets.
Weight
How much the horse carries, including the jockey. 9st 5lb means nine stone five pounds.
Jockey claim
An apprentice jockey can claim a weight discount, so the horse carries a little less.
Headgear
Blinkers, visor, cheekpieces, tongue tie, hood and eyeshield change what the horse sees or feels.
