Abandonment Refund Admissions

If Racing is abandoned before the first race then a full refund or a transfer to another similar race meeting will be offered. If racing is abandoned before the 4th race then we will offer a 50% refund (this excludes Music Live race meetings, please see separate policy.) If racing is abandoned after the 4th race, then no refund will be offered (this excludes Music Live race meetings, please see separate policy.)

In the event a Music Live act cancels their performance, the Racecourse will seek to secure a replacement act to ensure music after racing is provided

In the event a Music Live act cannot be replaced, a partial refund will be issued dependent on the face value of the race day ticket. Chepstow Racecourse will provide customers with details of the value of the refund.

Parade Ring

This is an ideal opportunity for racegoers to see the horses close up and assess their attitude and fitness The horses begin to parade 15-20 minutes before their race, and this is a great chance to pick your horse.

Placing a Bet

The Racecourse Betting shop is situated in the Grandstand & Paddock enclosure. The bookmakers are located in the betting ring in front of the main Grandstand.

The Weighing Room

This is located opposite the Winning Post and all jockeys weigh out here before each race. Their weight, including their saddle, should corr with the weight shown in today’s racecard particular horse in that particular race. Once race is finished, the jockeys will weigh in and weight must be the same as when they started.

On racedays, four stewards ensure each race according to Jockey Club rules and regulations.

Winners Enclosure

After each race, the first four placed horses led into the Winners Enclosure where they ar unsaddled and the jockeys take the saddle weigh in. There are presentations by race sponsors to the connections of the winning on the winner’s podium.

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 nonhandicaps 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 For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

HULLNBACK laid a superb platform for hurdling in bumpers last term, and on the back of a wind op, he’s taken to strike on reappearance for his in-form yard. There’s plenty of depth to this, with Pikar setting a good standard having been pitched into graded company last season, while Timeforatune is a multiple-bumper winner to take seriously, too.

RACE SUMMARY

None of these can be ruled out but RIDGEWAY made an excellent start in this sphere when scoring readily at Kempton and can defy a 7lb penalty. Fencing-newcomer Ballybreeze appeals as a good sort and should ensure Dan Skelton’s 5-y-o doesn’t have things all his own way, while Mascat, All Dancer and Mister Marbles shouldn’t be underestimated either in what promises to be an informative handicap chase

LONGEST TRAVELLERS: PLAYFUL SAINT trained by D Skelton, Alcester, 62 miles, JARAMILLO trained by W Greatrex, Upper Lambourn, 62 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

A few in with a squeak but SONIGINO had a bit up his sleeve when making a winning reappearance over C&D earlier this month, and with a race-fitness edge over most of his rivals, Paul Nicholls’ charge gets the verdict to follow up. Playful Saint defied an absence of over 3 years on handicap/yard debut at Wetherby in March so he may emerge the main danger if ready to roll, ahead of MackThe Man, who has a good record fresh so has to be considered

LONGEST TRAVELLER: BOBALOT trained by Ben Clarke, Beaminster, 73 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

EASKEY LAD has been in good form over fences in recent weeks and went close off similar marks over hurdles last season so he’s the suggestion. Immortal Fame had a productive time in handicaps last term and would rate a threat if primed for his reappearance. T’araison and Bobalot are unexposed types who could also have a say.
