disputed lead, headed and prominent 4f out, ridden under 2f out, keeping on but no chance with winner when short of room and hampered final 110yds, weakened towards finish
Last odds: 20/1Official rating 60Won 0 of last 54.5 lengths
awkward start, slowly into stride, in rear, pushed along over 1f out, ridden and kept on final furlong, never near to challenge (an enquiry was held into the running and riding of the gelding, which was slowly away, a fact the jockey reported at scales, and as a result ridden at the rear of the field. on turning in, under tender handling, the gelding proceeded to make good progress through the field to finish seventh, beaten by 4 1/2 lengths. the jockey was interviewed and shown recordings of the race. the jockey stated that his instructions went out of the window once the gelding was slowly away and that his main aim thereafter was to get the gelding back into a rhythm and attached to the main field. he continued that having turned in he wanted to get the gelding balanced before asking for more vigorous effort, which he did 3/4f out. The rider felt that he had asked the gelding for all reasonable and permissible measures having taken into account the start. his explanation was 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.
