Horse races names?

[pecheli]

Hello!
Can you please explain to me how are Horse Racing titles named? Such as what does 1m6f mean? There are many different names, that's just an example. I'd like to know all of them. I couldn't find this info on Google. Duh.

Also, I'd like to know about the correlation of title races names to distance run on track.
Thank you!

Thanks for the answer.
I want to know the race titles names system. How are they named?
Take for example those two races

Worc 10th Jun - 14:00 2m4f Hcap Chs

Now, from my understanding it means
-Place of the race - Worchester
-Date 10th June
-Time - 14:00
Now what does 2mm4f mean? What about "Hcap Chs"? What does this mean and how is it named so?
Or this race for example

Perth 10th Jun - 14:10 2m4f Nov Hrd

-Place of the race track - Perth
-Date - 10th June
-Time - 14:10

But what about "2m4f Nov Hrd"?

The 2m4F Hcap Chs = 2 Mile 4 Furlong, Handicapped Chase
2m4f = 2 Mile 4 furlong, Novice Chase

I would say that you're lazy. There's lots of info on the internet. Just use google and you'll find what you need.
