travelled strongly, towards rear of midfield, smooth headway and prominent under 2f out, pushed along to lead 1f out, soon ridden clear, kept on well, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, gelding was a big raw immature horse that made his debut at the Curragh on the 26th March when outclassed on Yielding ground. He explained that the next run at Gowran Park on the 7th April the gelding was outclassed again before appearing for the third time in 18 days at the owners request at Gowran Park again on the 13th April when struggling on the Yielding to Soft ground. Trainer further added that the gelduing ran next at Cork on the 22nd July after a three month break and pleased connections but through immaturity he changed his legs a lot and ducked during the race. Trainer felt in the next few weeks the gelding felt flat at home and was eased off in his training. Following a 145-day break, the gelding came here today on the back of a very good piece of work recently on this surface and was competing in what was felt to be a weak race with a good handicap mark. Trainer advised the Racedays Stewards that the significant betting patterns were as a result of his owners support for the gelding. Evidence was also heard from Mark Bird, Rules of Racing Handicapper, who detailed the horses previous racing performances and outlined the improvement shown today)

What these words mean

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.
