Definitions

Start
A horse that ran in a race that was run. Withdrawn horses and abandoned or void races are left out; horses that started but did not finish count as starts without a placing.
Win
Finished first. Both horses of a dead heat count.
Placed
Finished first, second or third.
Odds
The starting win odds printed with the result, per $1 with the stake included: 6.7 pays $6.70 for $1.
Return
What a flat $1 on every start would have made: −15% means 85 cents came back per dollar staked.
Book
The sum of 1/odds over a field. 1.23 is a win pool 23% over-round.
Favourite
The lowest odds in the race; joint favourites each count as a bet.
Jockey, trainer
Keyed by the Club's id where the site still links a profile, else by name; people who have left Hong Kong lose their id, never their record.
