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
- A 33% win rate on this ground from 12 runs. Just like people, horses have favourite surfaces. This one likes today's ground.
- This trainer does well at this course. Trainers who know a course understand what suits it.
- There is £11,339 in prize money. A small prize can mean weaker rivals, but it may also mean the horse is running below its best level.
Why this score
- Handles this ground well, with 29% of its races won on it. The ground can change a horse's chances a lot.
- A 36.4% win rate at this course for A. Nicol. Trainers who know a course often send out their horses well suited to it.
- This trainer's horses often do not finish their races. That makes them harder to trust.
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 8 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- Has not won at this distance before. We do not know if the race length suits the horse.
- With an average finish of 13.3 lately, recent results are poor. This horse needs to improve.
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- A 26.9% win rate at this course for R. Beckett. Trainers who know a course often send out their horses well suited to it.
- This trainer's horses often do not finish their races. That makes them harder to trust.
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- This is a 9-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
- A 6.5% record at this course for J. Butler. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
Why this score
- A low win rate on this ground from 3 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
- This is a 9-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
- D. Ffrench Davis has a 6.7% overall win rate, which is on the low side. That may mean the horse is not at its best.
Why this score
- Has raced 3 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- E. Whillans has a good 33.3% record here. A trainer who does well at one course is worth noting.
- Last raced 16 days ago. That is a normal gap between runs.
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.
- This is a 9-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
