7.5 lengths
midfield, headway and in touch with leaders over 2f out, short of room and lost position over 1f out, no impression inside final furlong (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, his instructions were to jump and be prominent, and to stay off the rail. jockey explained that his position at the start of the race was further back than intended but accepted his position on the rail approximately a furlong after the start. he continued to add that the pace slackened going onto the final circuit before travelling well into the home straight and then being denied a clear run in the straight, a fact he reported at scales post-race, until the final furlong, after which then appearing to be slow to ask his mount for a timely and substantial effort when a gap appeared; trainer confirmed the instructions and although jockey was unable to ride to instructions due to how the race developed, after watching replays of the race she expressed her dissatisfaction with the amount of effort displayed by jockey in the final furlong once having a clear run)

Scores in a race add up to 100.How scores workModel estimates, not guaranteed. Past performance is no guide.
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.
