Hereford Racecard – Wednesday 21st December

The team were all so disappointed to lose Christmas Jumper Raceday which really looked like being a show stopper for us. Alas the cold weather took a grip and even with the protection of frost covers it was not to be this year I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has supported Hereford Racecourse throughout 2022. From race sponsors and commercial partners to Owners, Trainers, Stablestaff and racegoers everyone has played a part in ensuring competitive racing, a great atmosphere and a year to look back on fondly. From the core team of 8 full time staff to the wider raceday family which increases on some days to 100+ staff each has also played their part in ensuring racing at Hereford remains a pleasure to be involved with. Our next fixture is Wednesday 4th January and from then our season rolls through the early months leading to Ladies Day on Saturday 11th March with the season drawing to a close with Dino Family Fun Raceday once again on Thursday 6th April. Best priced tickets are always those bought in advance and the popular Day At The Races package which includes admission, racecard, warm pie and a drink often sells out for each fixture within days of being released so be sure to book early next year at www.hereford-racecourse.co.uk

For those still looking for the perfect Christmas present for friends or family, the Hereford Racehorse Ownership Club offer tremendous value at just £299 for a lease share of a horse in training with Venetia Williams, associated exclusive benefits plus 2023 ARC membership gaining FREE admission to 500+ fixtures next year. I hope you enjoy racing today, have a very Happy Christmas and look forward to welcoming you back racing next year.

Best wishes. Executive

Welcome to Hereford for our final raceday this year, a little later than planned!

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

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.

RACE STATS

RACE SUMMARY

A potentially warm maiden for the track with the vote going to ISSUING AUTHORITY, who pulled clear with another promising type on his Uttoxeter hurdling debut and looks sure to improve. Shomen Uchi was far from disgraced in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree when last seen and rates a useful prospect for hurdling, while Heezer Geezer can’t be ignored either having shown a good level of form on his both starts in this sphere. 1-2-3:

CREDO looks an entirely different proposition now chasing and a 13lb rise shouldn’t be enough to stop Anthony Honeyball’s mare from following up her Chepstow demolition job with another success White Hart Lady should be able to mark her presence felt in this tougher contest, whilst Flowing Cadenza chased the selection home last time and is respected once more.
