The "h" is used when the ground person (guy that watches the films for ground lost on the turns) feels a horse was not asked for everything it had when winning. Jerry Brown believes very strongly that the "number is the number". He will put that "h" as a heads up should you want to adjust for how hard the jock was pushing through the stretch.
