Hello and welcome to Doncaster Racecourse as we kick off The Betfred St Leger Festival with Ladies Day! We are delighted you’ve joined us here today and we would like to thank our festival sponsors Betfred and our race sponsors EBF, Weatherbys, Skopes and Pertemps for their generous support of today’s fixture.

There are 8 races on the card and our raceday presenter Bobby Beevers, resident tipster Roger Hart and Matt Hulmes from Betfred will be in the Parade Ring at around 1:15pm to run through the racecard with you and hopefully pick you out some winners!

Have you got what it takes to impress the judges in this year’s Style Awards? The competition is open to everyone here today and the winning outfit will receive a whopping £1,000 cash prize! If you’d like to enter, head over to the Flower Wall opposite the Parade Ring in the Grandstand Enclosure between 11:50am and 3:00pm to have your photo taken. All entries will be shortlisted by our Style Judges and the finalists will be contacted at 3:30pm when they will be invited for final judging on the stage on the Champagne Lawn at 4:15pm by Hits Radio’s very own Liesl, when our 2024 Style Awards winner will be announced. Good luck everyone!

We hope you enjoy the entertainment today. We have a pianist in main reception performing intermittently throughout the day, and a roving brass band. Trina ‘Golden Girl’ Gulliver – 10 times World Darts Champion will be in the Exhibition Hall challenging guests to a 9-dart challenge. Trina is the most successful female darts player in history – have you got what it takes to beat her?

Don’t rush home after racing. Head over to the Champagne Lawn where JLS star and now star DJ Marvin Humes keep the party going after racing with a live DJ set. Grandstand and Family Enclosure guests are welcome to upgrade your tickets if you’d like to stay and enjoy the entertainment.

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.

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.

ART DESIGN did well to get up from a most unpromising position at Southwell and promises to be suited by this longer trip, so she gets the nod over Toomuchforme, who was denied by a stablemate of the selection at Newbury last time. Dear Cat is another big player.

Race preview from Weatherbys

We are extremely proud to be sponsoring the Weatherbys Scientific£300,0002-Y-OStakesat Doncaster this afternoon. This is the 17thyearWeatherbyshassupported the race, and the fourth year that WeatherbysScientifichassponsored thistop-classjuvenilecontest.

He is the highest rated horseinthefield,andnodoubtholds plentyofclass.

has since cruised to a comfortable maidenwinatNottingham.Officially rated 101, the Territories colt is best treated of these at the weights, and the extra half furlong promises to suit.

An Outlaw’s Grace finished fifth in a similar contest at Doncaster last time, coming home strongly having looked in trouble early, and is tried infirst-timecheekpiecesforRichard Hannon here. The Dandy Man colt haspreviousGroup2forminFrance andisanotherwholookspotentially welltreatedattheseweights.

Andrew Balding has won this race twice in the past five years but it may be too much of an ask for Havana Grey filly Cuban Girl to breakhermaidentaginthisred-hot renewal, whilst Charlie Appleby has never landed the prize but looks to hold solid claims with Nottingham maiden winner Hallasan. Prior to that comfortable success last time, the son of Pinatubo had split the Molecomb Stakes third and Goffs Premier Yearling Stakes winner and his form is beginning to stack up nicely.

Hugo Palmer’s King Of Angels is the sole course winner amongst the field, an easy winner over seven furlongs at Doncaster back in July, and drops back in trip following a fifth in a strong nursery handicap at Yorklasttime.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): R Hannon (31 wins from 234 runners, 13%) runs AN OUTLAW’S GRACE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): A Balding (15 wins from 66 runners, 23%) runs CUBAN GIRL LONGEST TRAVELLER: CAMILLE PISSARRO trained by A O’Brien, Ireland.

This assignment looks tailor-made for CABURN, who has proven himself in the hustle and bustle of a big-field scenario having won the Super Sprint at Newbury and he subsequently left the strong impression that this slightly longer trip/ stiffer track would be ideal when fifth in the Gimcrack at York. Intrusively deservedly opened his account at Nottingham and is feared most ahead of An Outlaw’s Grace and King of Bears Likely favourite Camille Pissarro is opposable judged on his Gimcrack effort.

MAY HILL STAKES

The May Hill Stakes is a Group 2 contest for two-year-old fillies which is run over 1-mile. This year’s running of the race is the 48th since its inception in 1976. The race was named after the Peter Walwyn-trained May Hill who won the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster in 1975. It was originally a Group 3 contest until it was elevated to a Group 2 in 2003.

The much-missed Sir Henry Cecil still holds the title of the trainer with the most wins in this event with 12 victories to his name having won it with the likes of Reams Of Verse (1996) and Half Glance (2001).

In recent years, John Gosden has been the man to follow

A good-quality 3-y-o handicap and the vote goes to bottom weight PROMETHEAN, who shaped well when runner-up at Newmarket on his most recent outing, having been caught further back than ideal, and looks comfortably ahead of his mark. Victorious Street stretched clear with a fellow improver in good style at Southwell and may do better still with the step up in trip likely to suit on handicap debut.

In a wide-open finale, it could just be worth chancing David O’Meara’s PERCY SHELLEY. He’s been far from disgraced tackling longer trips in recent weeks and, having steadily eased in the weights, he’s of interest with a visor refitted. Southwell scorer Kildare Legend and Lyric are a pair of 3-y-os also fancied to be in the mix. Soowaih also makes each-way appeal
