Hello,

I'm relatively new to trading, but wanted to ask waht the following abbreviations stand for on racecards.
I have looked online without success, so realise it's probably an obvious answer, but I'd be grateful if anyone can explain.

For example on Sporting Life it says on one card, "Hood off shade slow, towards rear, headway and hung left over 1f out, went 3rd inside final furlong, no chance with leading duo op 7/4 tchd 13/8"

What does op and tchd stand for? op is original price perhaps? if so what is tchd?

Many thanks!

Opening price & touched.

They are discussing the movement in odds.
