4.3 lengths
took keen hold, towards rear on outer, hung right under 2f out, ridden and hung left inside final furlong, no impression (enq held into the running and riding of the gelding, which raced keenly in the early stages was held up in rear and appeared to be tenderly ridden in the concluding stages, to finish sixth of nine runners, beaten 4 1/2l. Rider stated that his instructions were to settle the gelding and work his way into the race late to obtain the best possible placing as the gelding, in previous runs, had a tendency to weaken in the finish as well as to hang when put under pressure. He stated that the gelding was unsuited by the slow early pace and the gelding had raced keenly to the outside of the field and had only settled exiting the back straight. Rider further stated that having balanced the gelding up in the home straight, the gelding again showed a tendency to lug left-handed and in fact moved left from the one use of the whip in the right-hand. He therefore continued to the finish under a hands and heels ride, and in his opinion to stay on at the finish obtaining the best possible placing. Trainer's rep stated that he was satisfied with the ride under the circumstances and that it accorded with the instructions given)

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.
