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?

Also 'is a nice type', just word salad from the 'experts'.

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.

A winning betting slip can make a horse very likeable.

That's a Luke Harveyism.

I wonder what the horse thinks looking at Luke Harvey?..

Not likeable and an unintelligent head i'd imagine Lead on.

Horse racing is stacked full of anthropomorphism. Hendo even says that x is a lovely person Grin

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

I find that they are often a lot more willing for the application of cash.
Report howard August 2, 2025 1:07 PM BST
usually on a good mark ( after many poor runs )  when the cash is down rather than any battling qualities of a likeable horse.

Two Tribes is a likeable horse.

Not very likeable from Get it today, finished last, tailed off.

Eats and sleeps. Works well when asked. Doesn't kick or bite. Not sure why any of that is relevant to Timeform though.
Report howard August 3, 2025 10:14 AM BST
It isn't relevant to TF. Told anyone listening above what is.
