Star Ratings Explained

Eachhorse hasbeen given astarrating, theseare definedbelow:

HHHHH Selectedtowin therace.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

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

Having won over C&D last month, TARA ITI turned in another excellent effort at Plumpton a fortnight ago and he remains of plenty of interest in a race lacking depth. Fanfaron Dino’s profile is a patchy one but he’s dangerous at this level if giving his running, with Clearance another to consider.

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.

To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website: www.fontwellpark.co.uk

A WARM WELCOME TO OUR OWNERS & TRAINERS

Owners & Trainers may enjoy exclusive access to Fontwell House where there is a complimentary two course lunch. If you require assistance today, please ask a member of the team inside the Racecourse Reception & Ticket office who will be more than happy to help

If you require any assistance today please ask any member of the staff who will be happy to help you.
