What is for lap?

For lap is a term used in horse racing to describe a horse that is being held back or restrained by its jockey during a race. This can be done to conserve the horse's energy for a strong finish or to prevent the horse from running too fast too soon. The jockey will typically keep the horse in a comfortable pace until the final stretch, where they will then allow the horse to run at full speed.
