Agreed re copyright and close paraphrase.  But there's no issue where its the bare facts of a race result - winner, trainer, jockey - what you refer to as the bare statistic above, that's public information.  What I think would be copyright there would be any extra information added by (e.g.) the Racing Post, or Timeform - so any comments added to the result or description of how the horse ran, like "moved up to challenge 2nd last, led on run-in" - I'd say that would definitely be copyrighted.
