raced in last, soon became detached, hung right final circuit, tailed off after 3 out, refused last (An enquiry was held into the running and riding of the mare, where the mare raced in last place and detached from the field and appeared to be tenderly handled before refusing at the final hurdle. The rider and the trainer were interviewed and shown recordings of the race; the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the mare revealed no abnormalities. The rider stated that the instructions were to drop the mare at the rear of the field and to settle the filly as she had over-raced in her previous run. Pinchin added that she restrained the mare detached from the field to settle her and she felt entering the second circuit the mare became more tractable and she started to squeeze her to make up ground. As she attempted to make up the deficit, the mare progressively hung badly to the right preventing her to ride the mare effectively. The trainer confirmed the instructions and stated that she was satisfied that the ride accorded with those instructions. Their explanations were noted)

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.
