held up in last, detached before 3rd, mistake 8th, plenty to do when steady headway after 4 out, not fluent last, went second run-in, never near to challenge (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, his instructions were to get the gelding settled in the early stages being conscious that it was his first run after a 198-day break. he stated that the gelding ran freely to the first fence before making a bad mistake and finding himself a few lengths out of his ground as a result. he added that the gelding hung left-handed but was happy to allow the horse to maintain this racing line as he had found better ground. he explained that the gelding was still not travelling as strongly as he would have liked and needed to maintain niggling him along to keep competitive. he then added that as he made some progress down the back straight his mount made another bad mistake at the second last down then back straight before the turn for home losing several lengths and his position again. he further added that the gelding gradually passed some weakening horses for his urgings to finish second, which in his opinion had obtained the best possible placing. after hearing the rider's evidence and reviewed the footage the stewards noted his explanation; vet reported gelding was lame on his right-fore)

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.
