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.

On behalf of the team at Bath Racecourse we would like to extend a very warm welcome to you on our Rum and Reggae Racenight!
We are set for a fantastic evening of both music and racing, with a number of exciting flat races taking place tonight, in addition to some outstanding music being performed throughout the evening.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome this evening’s sponsors – Betting.Bet & HH Business Finance. I would like to thank each of our sponsors for their generosity and wish them all an enjoyable evening.
Finally you will see that we have Mercedes-Benz of Bath here with ourselves today who are showcasing their vehicles. I would encourage you all to go over and see the friendly team who are located close to the Langride and County Grandstands.
Throughout the evening there will be the popular Rainbow Steel Band performing around the site, and after racing concludes we will be having a concert on our Final Furlong with Terrace Soul & Reggae DJ, Rob Mason followed by Dappa Don & The Playaz. We also have a variety of Caribbean foods and drinks available throughout the evening for you to enjoy.
For music-lovers, we have a number of upcoming racedays that feature live music performances. In the near future, we have our Cider Racenight featuring a performance from The Wurzels on Saturday 17th August; in addition to our Country & Western Racenight on Saturday 14th September, which is featuring a live performance from the magnificent Taylormania after racing. Both of these days are popular choices within our raceday calendar, and are perfect places to bring both friends and family for an incredible day out.
We hope you have an enjoyable evening here with us, making the most of the racing, music, food and drink on offer. I would like to wish the best of luck to all trainers, jockeys and owners with their runners tonight who I am sure will be getting a big cheer when they cross the finish line.
Best of luck and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT BATH
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing
surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.bath-racecourse.co.uk.
