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!

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): R Hannon (35 wins from 285 runners, 12%) runs VASILISSA

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): R Hannon (6 wins from 49 runners, 12%) runs VASILISSA

LONGEST TRAVELLER: VASILISSA trained by R Hannon, Marlborough, 184 miles.

An ultra-competitive finale in which the suggestion is VASILISSA, who did well under the circumstances given the lack of pace to open her account at Kempton just over a fortnight ago, and operating from just a 1lb higher mark, she’s fancied to double her tally. Inspired Knowhow should have more to offer making his turf debut, so he heads up the opposition, with Juryman and Annie Law rounding off the shortlist 1-2-3: 1.VASILISSA 2.INSPIRED KNOWHOW 3.JURYMAN
