held up in rear, steady headway on outer when left in fourth 2 out, shaken up and outpaced before last, beaten run-in (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to take his time early on, get his mount settled and jumping and to do the best he could. He said that his mount is a very slow and deliberate jumper which cost him ground throughout, in what he felt was a very fast race. He concluded by stating that his mount was having its first run in a handicap and was the most inexperienced in the field. Peter Fahey, confirmed the instructions given and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. He stated that his charge has plenty of ability, but is not a natural jumper which cost him ground today and on other occasions in the past. He concluded by stating that he hoped the animals jumping would improve with experience and become more competitive in future; vet said the gelding was found to be post race normal)

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.
