midfield, not fluent 3 out, soon shaken up, not fluent last, kept on well run-in, went third inside final 110yds, eyecatcher (inq held into the running and riding of the gelding, which raced mid division and was tenderly handled in the home straight before running on strong to be beaten 2l for 2nd place; jockey stated his instructions were to follow the favourite and make his challenge as and when he was able to do so; jockey explained that having made a mistake at the first hurdle, the gelding was further back than ideal but as this was the gelding's first run over hurdles he opted to remain where he was rather than bustle him up in case he began to over-race; jockey added that the gelding did, in fact, settle well in the early stages off what he thought was a strong gallop although his jumping was novicey and he maintained that he was flat out throughout and had wanted to be closer to the leaders rounding the final bend; regarding his ride in the home straight, he said that he had focused on getting the gelding to jump home safely, adding that he was pleased with his jumping at this stage, and had switched to the inside to get the best of the ground in order to achieve his best possible placing; trainer confirmed the instructions, also confirming she was pleased with the ride because, as this was the gelding's first time over hurdles, they wanted him to find a good rhythm and have a nice introduction whilst acknowledging that it was a considerate ride as a result of the gelding's poor jumping early on; trainer further added that there were no immediate plans for the gelding as they wanted to see how he performed today although, with the jockey's recommendation, they would consider running the gelding without a hood as she felt that might have dulled his performance; jockey was suspended for 14 days and the trainer was fined 3,000GBP for schooling and conditioning the horse on the racecourse in that the jockey had failed to ride his mount in such a way that he could be seen to ask for timely, real and substantial effort to obtain the best possible placing on the gelding which was having his first run over hurdles; gelding suspended from running in any race for 40 days)

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.
