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

HHHII By no meansout of thereckoning butatleast one or twohold stronger claims

HHIII Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope

HIIII Canbegiven 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.

It looked a strong novice event in which expensive purchase DEVIL’S POINT finished a promising fifth on last month’s debut at Sandown and, with improvement on the cards, he earns the vote ahead of likely-looking newcomers Castle In The Sand and Going The Distance. The shortlist is completed by Daring Legend, who was gambled on and duly left his debut form well behind when fourth at Kempton and should have more to offer.

Of the many racecourses my wife, Christine (Chris) Bielby attended, throughout the country, the one she loved the most was Ffos Las.

She was at the first meeting in 2009, took the opening ceremony photographs, and it was the last racecourse she visited before being taken ill.

She always used to say to me, “Going to Ffos Las is like coming home, everybody is so friendly and welcoming.”

So, it seems only right that a memorial race in her name should be held here, at Ffos Las,a racecourse she loved so much.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): E D Giles (4 wins from 29 runners, 14%) runs REVE DE MAGRITTE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G Scott (2 wins from 10 runners, 20%) runs MOULIN BOOJ WEIGHTWATCHER: RHUBARB won off a handicap mark of 58, her rating is now down 5lb to 53. LONGEST TRAVELLER: MOULIN BOOJ trained by G Scott, Newmarket, 271 miles.

RHUBARB is now 5lb below her last winning mark and, though 0-9 so far this year, she could be the answer Richard Price’s charge is marginally preferred to Moulin Booj, who did the job well on the all-weather last week and will be a serious threat if able to back that up now returned to turf. Exquisitely has a bit to prove but is on an appealing mark based on her 2-y-o exploits and may be a bigger threat to the aforementioned duo than French import Reve de Magritte.
