• Entry to the racecourse is subject to the right of the racecourse executive to refuse to admit and/or to expel, without prior notice, any person whose behaviour is considered to be unruly or unacceptable or is a disqualified person.

• Bringing alcohol into the enclosures other than that purchased at the racecourse is prohibited. Barbecues are not permitted.

• Racegoers must at all times comply with any conditions, rules and regulations in operation, including the observance of no drinking areas for safety reasons.

• Lost and stolen badges will not be replaced.

Evacuation Procedures

If an incident occurs which is beyond our control, it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance. Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via emergency evacuation gates, onto the racecourse itself, where you will receive further instructions.

It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember;

• Take your belongings with you.

• Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.

Glasses & Bottles

Broken glasses and bottles are dangerous. In the interests of safety and the comfort of others please do not carry drinks or food on to the steppings of the stand, or the areas adjacent to the parade ring or unsaddling enclosure. Our catering team can transfer your drink into a plastic glass if you wish.

Horse & Jockey Welfare

It is policy at this racecourse for screens to be erected in circumstances where we have any horse, or jockey in a condition whereby treatment is being administered and a degree of privacy is deemed appropriate. The use of screens does not therefore automatically infer that a fatality has occurred. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy please visit our website: www.ffoslasracecourse.com.

Photography

Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication without the permission of the racecourse executive. Flash photography is essentially dangerous where horses are involved. You are asked not to use flash photography anywhere in the parade ring area and particularly near the Winners Enclosure.

Radios & Mobile Phones

The use of all types of communication equipment is strictly controlled at all racecourses. Members of the public may not use two-way radios, scanning receivers etc. for any purpose at the racecourse. Mobile telephones may not be used in or near any designated betting area, or for off-course betting purposes. Further details are available from the racecourse office.

Unauthorised Bookmaking

It is a condition of entry to this Racecourse that only individuals in possession of a valid betting badge and occupying an authorised pitch are entitled to lay bets on the course of their business. Any individual found contravening these conditions will be evicted.

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 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our First “Proud to be Welsh Day” at Ffos Las Racecourse.

Today is the first of our 8 feature days in 2023 and is a celebration of this wonderful country we live in. It’s proud culture, heritage, song, food, drink and of course in particular Welsh Horseracing.

Apart from enjoying an afternoon of top-class national hunt racing, I hope you get time to enjoy the entertainment we have provided for you this afternoon. The superb Gwallia Singers from Swansea, The brilliant Phil Harmonics ladies choir from Llanelli, Cardiff Symphony Orchestra Harpist Mali Hire who will be playing for the guests in Bridles, plus a new and exciting local band “Dros Dro” performing live after racing in Blinkers Bar.

In the parade ring we have Local Presenter Deryc Rees sharing the hosting with our resident racecourse presenter Martin Higgs. Plus several craft, food and drink offerings from local businesses all on display, but most importantly we are extremely proud of our Welsh Jockeys, Owners and Trainers who are currently blazing a trail of success throughout British horse racing.

Finally, I have to say thanks to our kind sponsors dragonbet.co.uk for their ongoing support of Ffos Las Racecourse, it is really appreciated.

I hope you have a great day to remember at Ffos Las Racecourse.

MAID OF THE NIGHT justified strong support to get off the mark on handicap debut at Hereford last month and with more improvement anticipated upped further in trip, Henry Daly’s mare is strongly fancied to double her tally. Similar comments apply to Hungry Hill so he could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Bucks Dream and the returning Eglantier.

HAVE A RACE

IN YOUR VERY OWN NAME !!!

Did you know you could celebrate a special occasion with a race named after a friend or relative – for example

‘The John and Joan 40th Wedding Anniversary Maiden Stakes’ or ‘The John Smith 30th Birthday Handicap Stakes’.

It’s a great way to enjoy a day out with brilliant memories and you can combine it with hospitality in a private suite or a meal in the restaurant. You can come down to the Parade Ring and choose the ‘Best Turned Out’ horse and also present a prize to the winning owner before enjoying a post-race glass of bubbly. The package also includes photographs of your day and a mention in the racecard and on the big screen.

For more details, please email General Manager Kevin Hire –khire@arenaracingcompany.co.uk

THE DRAGONBET PROUD TO BE WELSH OPEN MAIDEN NATIONAL HUNT FLAT RACE (CLASS 5) (Category 3 Elimination) (GBB RACE)

Total prize fund £4800 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £1939, 2nd £969, 3rd £485, 4th £242, 5th £121. (Penalty Value £2534.88)

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): N Henderson (15 wins from 44 runners, 34%) runs SOUTHOFTHEBORDER TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Twiston-Davies (4 wins from 22 runners, 18%) runs HIGH TREASON LONGEST TRAVELLER: SOUTHOFTHEBORDER trained by N Henderson & J’VENTILE trained by O Signy, both Lambourn, 146 miles.

SOUTHOFTHEBORDER won his only start between the flags and makes plenty of appeal on his first go under Rules for Nicky Henderson. Big Fish shaped nicely when second at Exeter on debut and he’s a clear danger, while Genietoile is another notable point recruit.
