HORSE WELFARE COMES FIRST AT DONCASTER

At every race meeting at Doncaster our top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and rider We have a dedicated team of highly qualified vets and doctors following the action at all times and a horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting.

Use of Screens

It is our policy to erect green screens around any horse requiring veterinary attention. This does NOT reflect the severity of any injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.

Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!

MIGHTY RIVER’s AW form has a progressive look to it, and assuming he’s as effective on turf, he looks the pick at the weights Demilion should also have plenty more to offer, while Cloudbreaker’s return on the AW looks pretty good form and she retains potential.

GOOD LUCK FOX, MAJESKI MAN, PROSPECT & VAN GERWEN TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): L Russell (4 wins from 35 runners, 11%) runs BALLYARE WEIGHTWATCHER: VAN GERWEN won off a handicap mark of 69, his rating is now down 9lb to 60.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: BALLYARE trained by L Russell, Kinross, 250 miles.

A typically competitive sprint handicap PROSPECT only emptied late on returning at Newcastle last month and, with the benefit of that recent run under his belt, gets the nod ahead of the less-exposed High Opinion. The majority of the field hold some sort of frame claim, with Good Luck Fox perhaps of most interest of the remainder
