in rear, headway before 2 out, never near to challenge nudged out (an enquiry was held into the running and riding; rider and trainer were interviewed; vet examined the gelding, which was selected for routine testing on two occasions post-race and had nothing to report; having initially failed to report anything when passing scales post-race, jockey said Assistant several minutes after having been informed that he was required to attend an enquiry into the ride on the gelding, that gelding had made a respiratory noise during the race; jockey said his instructions were to ride gelding at the rear of the field, get him settled and creep into the race with the aim of making a late challenge as the gelding has not been seeing his races out; he continued that the gelding jumped and travelled well up until the third last fence, where it began to make the aforementioned noise; however, it was from this point on that gelding began to make both steady and eye-catching progress under sympathetic handling and jockey justified his apparent lack of effort, by reiterating the fact that the gelding is a weak finisher, and it was his intention to get there as late as possible for this reason, but on this occasion having jumped the last fence the gelding emptied out again; trainer said his instructions were to ride gelding with restraint and to get there late; having become aware of the respiratory noise trainer said that he was satisfied with the ride and that he would have the gelding seen by a vet regarding its respiratory issue; jockey was suspended for 14 days for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race, in that he had failed to ride his mount in such a way that he could be seen to ask for timely, real and substantial effort to obtain the best possible placing)

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.
