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, as a percentage. 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 a place. 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.
Why this score
- Mrs J. Harrington wins 10.7% of all their races. That is a solid record. Good trainers get horses ready well and pick the right races.
- Finished 2nd in the last race, which is a good result. A good last run suggests the horse is in good shape.
- A 17-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- Today's ground is Yielding To Soft, and that suits this horse. Like athletes who prefer one type of surface, horses have favourite ground.
- E. Mullins has a 6.7% win rate at this course. It is not their strongest track. Some stables do better at some tracks than others.
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- The Yielding To Soft ground works in this horse's favour. The ground makes a big difference in racing, and today it helps.
- This is a 17-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
Why this score
- A 17.7% win rate at this course for J. P. Murtagh. Trainers who know a course often send out their horses well suited to it.
- J. P. Murtagh wins 11.0% of all their races. That is a solid record. Good trainers get horses ready well and pick the right races.
- This is a 17-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 3 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- Its average finish over the last three runs is 4. That is steady. Horses that finish near the front often do so again.
- This is a 17-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
Why this score
- No wins at this distance yet. We cannot tell if the race is too long, too short or just right.
- At 3.2 lbs lighter than the average, weight is on this horse's side. Less weight can mean more speed.
- 17 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
Why this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- R. Holohan wins 15% of their races at this course. Knowing the track is an advantage for any jockey.
- 17 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
Why this score
- Came home 1st last time out. A good recent run often carries over to the next race.
- J. Patrick O'Brien has won 14.1% of their races in their career. Trainers at this level know how to get horses ready.
- 17 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
Why this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- Has been off the track for 770 days. That is a long break. Some horses come back fresh. Others need a run to get fit again.
- F. Casey has a 7.7% win rate at this course. It is not their strongest track. Some stables do better at some tracks than others.
Why this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- Finished 2nd in the last race, which is a good result. A good last run suggests the horse is in good shape.
- A 4.5% career win rate for J. Dalton. That is on the low side and could matter today.
Why this score
- K. Leonard has won 4.6% of their races in their career. That steady record counts for a lot.
- This horse is happy on Yielding To Soft ground. When the ground suits, a horse can run to its best.
- T. McGuinness wins only 0% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- With an 8.0% win rate overall, L. McAteer is one of the more dependable riders.
- A 17-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- Finishing 2nd last time is encouraging. A horse that finishes well is usually in good shape.
- N. Doherty has a 0% overall win rate, which is lower than we would like to see. A jockey who wins less often can hold back even a good horse.
Why this score
- With a 5.3% win rate overall, N. Crosse is one of the more dependable riders.
- With an average finish of 1 in recent runs, this horse keeps finishing close to the front. It would not need much luck to win.
- A. Oliver has a 6.5% win rate at this course. It is not their strongest track. Some stables do better at some tracks than others.
Why this score
- Has raced 6 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- 2 runs here without a win. That counts against the horse. The track layout may not suit it.
- A 4.9% career win rate for J. M Barcoe. That is below the top trainers.
