midfield early, towards rear of midfield before halfway, headway when switched right over 1f out, ridden to challenge inside final furlong, led final strides (trainer's rep said, regarding apparent improvement in form, the run the last day was over 7f whereas today their charge raced over 1m with the benefit of a 7lb claiming apprentice against a professional rider the previous day and furthermore the winning margin was a neck today compared to being beaten seven lengths the last day; on further questioning, rep stated they only acquired this filly in January and she has had an uninterrupted training regime since then; he expressed his satisfaction with the ride the previous day where in his opinion the filly was outpaced when the pace quickened and revealed the riders post race comment that the filly needed a step up in trip; in relation to the betting trends of the run on the 17th Feb and today, rep was unable to account for the trends of both days; jockey said filly hung a small bit left in the last 50yds)

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.
