Star Ratings Explained

HHHII By no meansout of thereckoning but atleast one or twoholdstrongerclaims
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 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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RIPPER ROO trained by O Murphy, Wilmcote, 125 miles.
RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY
Whilethereisabitofroomforimprovementinthejumpingdepartment,OZZIEMANhasn’tdonemuch wrong since switched to fences and he shaped as though moving back up in trip would be very much in his favour when narrowly outpointed over 2 1/2m at Huntingdon last week. He gets the nod ahead of A Time To Shine, who will be a big threat if able to build on his comeback effort.Windance is probably best of the rest, albeit as a result of a process of elimination rather than a vote of confidence.

COMMITMENT TO HORSE WELFARE
We are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries and maintaining the highest level of care. At every meeting there are three specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action
A British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer is also in attendance working closely with the racecourse veterinary team. This is to ensure that any injury to a horse is recorded, so that it can be monitored when it returns to racing.
It is now a standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calmer environment Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.

There should be plenty more to come from AURIFEROUS as a hurdler given his Flat form, and following a promising start at Huntingdon, he’s fancied to build on that and score. A breathing operation may well help General Medrano’s finishing effort and he’s second choice, withTapley likely to give it another good shot
