pulled hard, pressed leader, hung left and bumped rival 1f out, weakened inside final furlong, lost shoe (collided with the rails in the chute, going out onto the course, having been checked by the vet at the start, the gelding was deemed fit to race; jockey said gelding hung left-handed inside the final furlong; vet reported gelding lost his left-hind shoe)

awkward start and slowly away, took keen hold, in rear, kept on from over 1f out, never near to challenge (jockey said, regarding running and riding, the gelding is a gassy sort, particularly after a break, his instructions were to try and settle the gelding mid division before mounting his challenge in the home straight, however, after jumping awkwardly and losing considerable ground early on, he was further caught out by the strong early pace, which resulted in him being further back than intended; unable to chase for fear of lighting him up, he allowed the gelding to make up ground gradually and, once he had switched round Paddy's Day and obtained clear running, he was able to ask for his effort and was pleased with the way the gelding finished his race off in the circumstances; he added that, in his opinion, the gelding would be best suited to sprint trips in the short term and would ideally appreciate a stiffer 5 furlongs; trainer's rep confirmed the instructions and that he was satisfied with the ride; vet examined the gelding post-race and had nothing to report)

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.
