towards rear, going okay but plenty to do 2f out, shaken up and hung left over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong, eyecatcher (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, that his instructions were to settle in rear and take his time as the gelding has a tendency to run freely, before coming with a late challenge between runners. jockey added that gelding ran too freely and hung left-handed in the home straight and as the result of a torrid ride, struggled to correct the gelding and ride as vigorously as he would have liked due to fatigue. jockey further added that he would have liked to have shown initiative and been closer to the speed in a muddling run race but was unwilling to contravene the trainer's instructions)

held up in rear, going okay but plenty to do 2f out, shaken up over 1f out, no impression inside final furlong (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, that her instructions were to drop the gelding out, ride him hands and heels and look to mount her challenge late up the centre of the course to obtain the best possible placing. jockey added that the gelding had been unsuited by a muddling tempo and that she had expected the field to swing wide off the home bend, which would provide her with an opportunity to improve her position between runners and ride to instructions. however, when runners did not fan off the turn and the field in fact migrated left-handed back towards the far rail, she was caught in two minds. trainer confirmed instructions and agreed that the race was not run to suit the gelding)

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.
