WEDNESDAY 18 OCTOBER COURSE.CO.UK
On behalf of everyone at Bath Racecourse, we would like to extend you a very warm welcome to our SummerAfternoon Racing today which is kindly being sponsored by Bresbet.
We are set for a wonderful afternoon of racing, with 7 exciting flat races taking place throughout the day. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the team from today’s sponsors, Bresbet who are kindly sponsoring six of our races today. Bresbet have had a significant presence here at Bath Racecourse for four of our meetings this year with today being the final time we will welcome them this season. I would like to thank them for their generosity and wish them an enjoyable afternoon.
We race again in 3 days’ time on Saturday 16th September when we have the finals of the very well received Bath Summer Series, which will see the Sprint & Stayers finals each being ran for £30,000. These popular finals take place on Gentleman’s Day here at Bath where we will have live music after racing on Saturday. We still have tickets and limited hospitality options available, so we do hope to welcome you back at the weekend. Tickets can be purchased on our website with a discount for booking in advance so head to www.bathracecourse.co.uk to guarantee your place with ourselves.
Beyond Saturday, we are looking forward to the Beckford Stakes returning to Bath in October following the dry weather last year. This Listed race, taking place on Wednesday 18th October has a prize pot of £65,000 and gave The King his first Listed winner when it was held at Great Yarmouth last season.
I’d like to extend my congratulations to jockey Billy Loughnane who has recently ridden out his claim. Billy is currently our leading jockey here at Bath this season with 9 wins so he certainly knows his way round Bath and no doubt will be looking to add to his success with his rides today. Best of luck to him and all Jockeys riding today.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Owners and Trainers who have chosen to run their horses here at Bath throughout the season. Your continued support is greatly appreciated, and we wish you an enjoyable time here with us. On behalf of everyone at Bath Racecourse, we wish you luck both at today’s meeting in addition to all future fixtures, and we hope to welcome you back to Bath soon.
I hope you all have an enjoyable afternoon here at Bath, best of luck and we hope to welcome you back to another fixture before the end of the season.
Simon Tonge

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.
HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability
The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.
You must be 18 or over to place a bet
You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet
If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

RACE SUMMARY
Fitted with blinkers for the first time, IRRELEVANT turned a Kempton nursery into a rout last week and assuming he’s as effective on turf, he looks well ahead of the game under a penalty. Go Your Own Way can give it another good shot, with Elegant Elloise a potential improver tackling a more suitable race/trip.

RACE SUMMARY
BUCCABAY has edged towards a workable-looking mark and Eve Johnson Houghton’s gelding is fancied to gain his first win in handicap company, with the slightly longer trip appealing as a positive Heroism is still relatively unexposed and can pose the biggest threat, with Straits of Moyle making most appeal of the remainder.
