Timeform Racecard Question

[robert99]

Could someone (surely Gingertipster) enlightment as to what the (Dr) term means in their racecard form, where they have a column Res (Dr). The Res bit being the finishing position?

[Gingertipster]

Not an abbreviation I recognise Robert, but I only do Timeform Race Passes.

“r” is responded well to pressure and a lower case “d” is dead (good-soft) ground. But capital D with lower r together?

Who’s the horse and race the Dr is up against? If I can look the horse up might give me a clue.

Total guess that it’s something to do with being drawn as a reserve

If it’s in the results it could be Disqualified with the r signifying a reason for the disqualification which I can’t think of unless it’s ‘ringer’

This is an example from Southwell Tuesday:

That stands for Result and Draw

Yes, it’s just Draw isn’t it?

The first and second on the card ran on the Flat lto and were drawn 11 and 5. The third and fourth ran over hurdles lto hence don’t have a Dr stat

Thanks St and Drone – makes sense.
