RACHEL HARWOOD Executive Director

MEET THE FACES

RICHARD LYMBERY

GROUP HEAD OF CATERING AND EVENTS

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE WITHIN THE COMPANY?

Group Head of Catering and Events.

BEFORE JOINING THE ORGANISATION, WHERE DID YOU WORK?

Prior to joining Arena Racing Company, I was an Operations Director for Levy UK a contract caterer, looking after all of the East Midlands Stadia business.

WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING EVENT YOU’VE EXPERIENCED AT WORK?

For me one of the most interesting experiences is the Betfred St Leger Festival. This event takes a whole year to plan, and the planning for 2024 will start straight after this year To execute and be part of something like the Betfred St Leger Festival is something that everyone wants to be a part of It is the most iconic event in our racing calendar

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE WORK MEMORY?

In the short time I have been with the company, I have really enjoyed the new concept of the Racing League - a seven teams, points-based horse racing competition. It is about more than just one day. With it having six fixtures hosted around all of our racecourses and the teams going head to head for the prize money, it makes it a really exciting night of racing at each event.

WHAT DOES YOUR LEGER WORKING WEEK LOOK LIKE?

The build up to the St Leger is very exciting! A lot needs to be put in place by the team to deliver the day. Wednesday of Leger week starts with the full management briefing and the final checks to ensure we are ready to go. The rest of the week starts early for everyone as we will be onsite from about 6am, and leaving site about 8pm.

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THE BETFRED ST LEGER FESTIVAL?

For me seeing Doncaster evolve into the St Leger Festival is something that you have to be part of to truly understand it. The transformation of the site for the event is something very special. The racecourse comes alive and roars for four days.

WHY DO YOU ENJOY WORKING AT DONCASTER RACECOURSE?

Doncaster has a great team headed up by Rachel Harwood, so when you arrive at Doncaster you are always made to feel so welcome. It has a family atmosphere. The best thing about Doncaster for me has got to be the people

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF THE RACECOURSE?

I made the point of walking the track a few weeks ago, just so I could understand what it was like. But for me as you walk down the home straight it’s got a feeling of excitement. It must be an amazing experience for any winning jockey during the Leger week.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE DAY OF THE BETFRED ST LEGER FESTIVAL AND WHY?

Last year was my second St Leger working for the company, and as everyone will remember was a very sad time for everyone For this year we have made a lot of changes to the lawn, and added additional food and drink options all around the course, so we are able to cater for everyone I’m looking forward to this year and hoping that it will be something special for everyone involved

WHAT DISH ARE YOU MOST EXCITED TO SERVE?

We have a really talented team of chefs at Doncaster, headed up by Emmet Cassidy. The passion that he and his team show for the food and what they do is outstanding. I don’t think I’d like to choose just any one dish.

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

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO RACING

Allowance The weight concession the horse is given to compensate for its rider’s inexperience

Amateur (Rider) on racecards, their names are usually prefixed by Mr, Mrs, etc. to indicate their amateur license-holder status.

Apprentice A trainee Flat jockey connected to the stable of a licensed trainer. Apprentices have a weight allowance when they ride in races against professional jockeys and can compete for the annual Apprentice title, given to the winner of the most races during the season.

Bar Term used when describing bookmakers’ prices. e.g. ‘4-1 bar two’ means that you can obtain at least 4-1 about any horse except for the first two in betting.

Bit Metal part of the bridle that sits in a horse’s mouth. The reins are then attached to the bit and used by the jockey to control the horse

Blinkers A form of headgear worn by the horse, consisting of a hood with cups around the eyes They are used to limit a horse’s vision and reduce distractions, with the aim of making it concentrate.

Cheekpieces Strips of sheepskin that are attached to the side of a horse’s bridle They partially obscure a horse’s rear vision, with the aim of getting the horse to concentrate on racing.

Clerk of the Course Racecourse official responsible for the overall racecourse management, including the preparation of the racing surface.

Clerk of the Scales Racecourse official whose chief duty is to weigh the riders before and after a race to ensure proper weight is carried.

Colours Jacket (‘silks’) worn by jockey to identify a horse A horse runs in its owner’s colours which are registered with Weatherbys

The colours to be worn by each jockey are shown on racecards.

Colt Male, ungelded horse, up to four years old

Conditions race A race in which horses are allotted extra weight according to factors including sex, age, whether they are a previous winner etc. This is a better-class race for horses just below Group or Listed level.

Connections The owner and trainer of a racehorse

Distance The length of a race

Dam Mother of a horse.

Draw A horse’s starting position in the stalls allotted in races on the Flat. Stall numbers are drawn at random by Weatherbys (except in a handful of top races that allow each horse’s connections, having been randomly selected, to choose the stall number for their horse). A horse with a seemingly advantageous draw is said to be “well drawn”. Stalls are used for Flat racing only.

Filly Female horse four-years-old or younger.

Foal Horse of either sex from its birth until 1 January the following year

Furlong 220 yards (one eighth of a mile). The numbered posts on British racecourses count the furlongs back from the winning post.

Gelding Castrated horse

Going Description of the course conditions under foot.

Hand Unit of four inches in which a horse’s height is measured at the shoulder

Judge Official responsible for declaring the finishing order and distances between horses.

Juvenile Two-year old horse

Maiden Horse which has not yet won a race

Handicap A race where each horse is allotted a different weight to carry, according to the official handicap ratings determined by the BHA Handicappers. The theory is that all horses run on a fair and equal basis - the ‘perfect’ handicap being one where all the runners finish in a dead-heat.

Mare Female horse aged five years old or above Middle Distances On the Flat, races beyond a mile and up to 1m6f are the middle distances. A middledistance horse is one that runs mainly over such distances or is regarded as being suitable for those distances.

Penalty Weight added to the handicap weight of a horse which has won since the weights were published.

Photo Finish Electronic photo device which determines minimal distance in a close finish.

Racecard The runners and riders of the day within this raceday programme.

Rating A measure of the ability of a horse on a scale starting at zero and going into three figures Flat and Jump racing use different scales; the highest-rated Flat horse is usually in the 130s and the top-rated jumper in the 180s.

Schooled Trained to jump.

Sire Father of a horse.

Sprint races Flat races run over a distance of five or six furlongs.

Stewards Enquiry Enquiry by a panel of men and women responsible for seeing rules are adhered to into a race’s running.

Tongue Tie Strip of material tied around a horse’s tongue and lower jaw to keep it from swallowing its tongue, which can clog its air passage. A horse wearing a tongue tie is denoted on a racecard by a small t next to the horse’s weight (t1 indicates that the horse is wearing a tongue tie in a race for the first time)

Under Starter’s Orders Occurs when the race is about to start

Visor Similar to blinkers, but with a slit in each eye cup to allow some lateral vision. A horse wearing a visor is denoted on a racecard by a small v next to the horse’s weight (v1 indicates that the horse is wearing a visor in a race for the first time).

Weighing In/Out Each jockey (wearing his racing kit and carrying his saddle) must stand on official weighing scales before and after the race, so that the Clerk of the Scales can check that the jockey is carrying the correct weight allotted to his horse If a jockey is above the allotted weight before the race, his horse can still compete but must carry overweight. When the weights carried by the winner and placed horses have been verified after the race, there will be an announcement that they have ‘weighed in’. This confirms the race result and at this point bookmakers will pay out on successful bets.

Yearling Horse of either sex from 1 January to 31 December of the year following its birth.

LEGER LEGENDS CLASSIFIED STAKES

Now in its 14th year, the annual Leger Legends Race is the only British charity race for former professional jockeys. This is the first time in its history that the race will take place on a Sunday, the final day of the St Leger Festival. The race raises money for both the National Horseracing College, the Injured Jockeys Fund and Jack Berry House.

Some of the best former jockeys will be taking part in this year’s contest including the recently retired Tom Scudamore.

The line-up for 2023 consists of: Tom Scudamore, Kieren Fallon, Davy Russell, Richard Johnson, Seb Sanders, Robbie Power, Megan Nicholls, Gary Bardwell, Jamie Osborne, Mark Enright, Will Kennedy, Gay Kelleway, Mattie Batchelor, Adrian Nicholls, Russ Kennemore and Jason Edmunds.

Previous winners include horse racing industry legends AP McCoy, Joseph O’Brien, Brian Harding, and Julie Krone. The race is a great opportunity to see some retired jockeys back on the saddle.

Last year Manaccan became the fourth three-year-old to win this contest since 2014 when steered to victory by Ryan Moore who has excelled in the Scarborough Stakes over the years, winning it five times in total.

Despite the Scarborough Stakes only carrying ‘Listed’ status, that has not stopped some of the best sprinters around winning it. The legendary Sole Power won this contest in 2012 and Group 1 winners Mecca’s Angel (2014) and Khaadem (2021) have also tasted success The aforementioned Sole Power was trained by Edward Lynam and is the sole Irish winner of the Scarborough Stakes, now in its 40th year.

The now retired Richard Hannon Sr remains the most successful trainer in the history of the Scarborough Stakes He trained dual winners Notley (1991/1992) and Galeota (2007/08) to win this contest. That record could be under threat this year though, with both Charles Hills and Robert Cowell just one away from equaling the record.

Market leaders carry a particularly good record in the Scarborough Stakes. Five out of the last 10 favorites have obliged and none of the last 10 winners were sent off bigger than 8/1. Celtic Mill has held the record as the fastest winner of this race for almost 20 years after he recorded an impressive time of 57:28 in 2004, though Khaadem came close to breaking that record in 2021.
