midfield, no chance from 3 out, kept on run-in (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey said his instructions were to drop filly in, get her to relax and to do her best, having previously run freely in her races; he explained that early in the race when there was no pace filly was again keen in early stages, jumping without fluency which he reported to scales although, as pace lifted down back straight she had settled and her jumping improved,; however when pressure came upsides rounding final bend, filly began to run free again yet, despite asking her for effort to go with that runner, she did not have the pace to make any significant progress so he kept her balanced and she finished staying on at one pace gaining no ground on first four placed horses and so had, in his opinion, achieved best possible placing; he added that he considered filly may benefit from a sharper track, on a quicker surface, to give her best possible chance of staying in her races; trainer's rep confirmed instructions and that he was satisfied with ride given adding that they may consider whether it would be a better option to return to running filly on the flat, which was noted)

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.
