We have a busy racing year ahead with 15 fixtures including our popular Ladies Day on Saturday 11th March and the return of Dino Family Fun Day to draw the 22/23 season to a close in the Easter Holidays on Thursday 6th April. Our Autumn campaign then kicks off with the Season Opener on Tuesday 17th October building towards Christmas Jumper Raceday on Saturday 16th December. There is also plenty in between!

If you are looking at ways of spending your Christmas money a lease share in Don Herbager, in training with Herefordshire based Venetia Williams, will cost you just £299 and includes 2023 ARC Membership gaining free access to 500+ fixtures as well Further details can be found in this racecard and also online at www.hereford-racecourse.co.uk and membership includes a number of exclusive events.

The weather brought its challenges towards the end of last year so let’s hope that’s behind us now and that we can enjoy an uninterrupted season from now until April. News and information is best sought out on our social media #HerefordRaces on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Enjoy racing here this year. Best wishes.

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.
