I often see this word to describe a horse in Timeform write ups but can’t really pin down why one horse is likeable and another one isn’t?

The ones which could tell the jockey which path to take or one could put right the jockey's mistake over a fence. Most importantly one which wins.

I saw this word to describe ‘Get it’, I think it is ‘likeable’ mostly because it has won 9 races.

Because of a will to win on top of ability. Some just win on ability alone.

usually on a good mark ( after many poor runs ) when the cash is down rather than any battling qualities of a likeable horse.

Eats and sleeps. Works well when asked. Doesn't kick or bite. Not sure why any of that is relevant to Timeform though.
