slowly away, always behind (an enquiry was held into the running and riding; vet had nothing to report; jockey said his instructions were that, as gelding is big and backward, he was to keep him balanced and to educate him whilst trying to achieve his best possible placing on this his first run, he said gelding missed the break and was slowly into stride so he gave him time to find his feet by which time he was detached from the field, he added that, as he was outpaced and running green, he was only able to gain ground slowly and once closer to the back markers ended up in the kickback; he maintained he had asked gelding for his effort rounding the final bend and as he was making little progress and was finishing one-paced, elected to ride the gelding hands and heels to the line, he added that he had spoken with the trainer after the race and had recommended that a step up in trip might benefit the gelding; trainer's rep confirmed the instructions and that he was satisfied with the ride given that gelding had lost so much early ground; their explanations were noted)

Scores in a race add up to 100.How scores workModel estimates, not guaranteed. Past performance is no guide.
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.
