SUNDAY 3 SEPTEMBER

Good afternoon and welcome to Brighton Racecourse, and to the final day of the Star Sports Festival of Racing.

We have seven exciting races lined up this afternoon, which includes six thoroughbred races and an arabian race as our final race. Our feature race this afternoon; The Class 4 Harry Bloom Memorial Brighton Bullet Handicap sees 14 runners head to post at 16:00. Being over 6f, this contest is certainly one for the speed merchants. Last year’s leading trainer at Brighton, Tony Carroll, sends two runners in this contest; Bezzas Lad & Holbache to try and reclaim the trophy from his last success in 2018 with Pour La Victoire, our 11 times course winner

We are delighted to be able to support our local greyhound trust, Brighton Greyhounds, so please do go and say hello to some of our four-legged friends this afternoon by our Grandstand entrance.

Thank you to our sponsors for their continued support; Star Sports, the Bloom Family and Bennetts.

We also thank Richard Soan for once again hosting a wonderful marquee charity event in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.

We hope you have a fantastic day and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Looking ahead, our next fixture here is on Monday 21st August.

Paul Ellison Executive Director

Brighton Racecourse is part of Arena Racing Company which includes; Bath, Chepstow, Doncaster, Ffos Las, Fontwell Park, Great Yarmouth Hereford Lingfield Park, Newcastle, Royal Windsor Sedgefield, Southwell Uttoxeter, Worcester and Wolverhampton racecourses.

Star Ratings Explained

Br

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.

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

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

LONGEST TRAVELLER: WHITESOCKSNSANDALS trained by C Ellam, Market Drayton, 223 miles.

On her first start for this yard, KANDOO went as close as she ever has when runner-up at Bath last week and, with first-time headgear applied, Archie Watson’s filly gets the verdict to go a place better. Nelson Rose did too much too soon at Catterick last month, so she’s put forward as the main danger back down in trip, with the returning Sparklight rounding off the shortlist.

The Harry Bloom Memorial Trophy

Harry Bloom was born in London and moved to Hove with his wife Clare in 1946. He started a small motor trading business that flourished into four branches; later he and his four sons ventured into the hotel and catering business, including buying the Langfords and Imperial hotels.

In 1971 he joined the board of Brighton & Hove Football Club as Vice Chairman. His appointment culminated in his lasting legacy to the club in his nine years by creating a hugely successful lottery.

Harry passed away in January 1980 at the age of 71 and his success in many commercial ventures made Harry one of the most successful and well known businessmen in Brighton & Hove.

Following in the footsteps of his Grandfather, Tony joined the board in 2009 when he became chairman. His appointment brought a vital infusion of financial backing culminating in the development of the architecturally beautiful American Express Community Stadium, which opened in July 2011.

The entire family are fanatical Brighton & Hove Albion supporters and they are once again at the forefront in supporting local sport by sponsoring this afternoon’s race and will be presenting the Harry Bloom Memorial Trophy to the owner of the winning horse.

RACE SUMMARY Quite a trappy contest, however five-time ARO top trainer James Owen is the current leader with the breed and has a 38% strike rate with his thoroughbred string this term too. Distance winner Heritage Valentino has placed twice this season, including over this trip and can be forgiven his poor recent run tried in a visor However Owen’s amateurs give a useful weight advantage to the unexposed VICTORIA and Delicatesse on their handicap debuts, with the former a tentative pick. Al-Hatab is another young horse going the right way and looks to have each way claims.
