Starting price: 33/1 Official rating 50 Jockey in form (2 wins in 14 days) Won 0 of last 5 —
soon led, clear halfway, pushed along home turn, ridden from 1f out, kept on well (stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form; trainer's rep said his charge was disappointing on the last run and further added that today's lower-class race on a tighter track had helped to bring about the apparent improvement in form; when questioned on the market support he said that the confidence in the market did not come from the yard; evidence was also heard from Mr. Gary O'Gorman, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Senior Rules of Racing Handicapper, who outlined the animals previous run and felt that today's performance represented a significant improvement, which he felt was in the region of twenty pounds; having considered the matter, the stewards noted the explanation offered in relation to the improvement form; they were however satisfied that the trainer was in breach of Rule 147(v) (failure to lodge the appropriate authorisation form appointing an Authorised Representative) and fined William Harvey 130 euros through his representative)

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.
