Hereford Racecard - Wednesday 15th February

Thank you for joining us this Wednesday 15th February at Hereford Racecourse.

Today we welcome Racing to School, an educational charity that combines the on-course racing experience with numeracy and literacy tasks We have sixty children from the local primary school with us today and hope they enjoy their tour of the racecourse and racing action. As all under 18’s go free on any raceday here at Hereford, we would be delighted to see them and their families return on a future occasion.

With the unseasonably dry weather causing various challenges for all racecourses currently, we are all looking to how the future seasons will be shaped and inevitably our role in climate and sustainability. One small step we have taken here is the introduction of the Eco-cup in the main bars, and we thank racegoers for their co-operation in this scheme which can only be positive in the reduction of single use plastics There are of course many more steps, of varying scale, to be taken as an industry moving forward over the next few years.

We next race here on Sunday 26th February and do still have limited availability remaining in our Snaffles restaurant. With balcony views across the finishing straight it offers a fantastic viewpoint of all the racing action, together with a three-course lunch to enjoy with your friends and family. Our website www.hereford-racecourse.co.uk also gives up to date availability and pricing for all fixtures.

Enjoy your day with us

Camilla Esling General Manager

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

Selected to win the race

Good chance of being placed. By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

Can be given little or no chance

TheBHA Handicappers allot ratings to horsesoncethey have taken partinasufficientnumber of racestoenable the Handicappers to make anumerical assessmentofeach horse’s ability.The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weighttobecarried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participantwithanequal chance based on its best recentformunder its optimum conditions

RACE SUMMARY

A weak maiden so an excellent opportunity for JEAN GENIE, who has a number of fair efforts to his name, to finally shed his maiden tag. Stellar Stream will be suited by the step up in trip having shaped like a stayer on his Ffos Las hurdling debut, so looks the main threat.

RACE SUMMARY

This looks a fairly straightforward race to assess, with NIKHI and Qoya both shaping well first-time-up over hurdles in the same race at Ffos Las.There’s no real reason why the former won’t uphold the form Of the rest, Vision of Hope will surely show more this time with a hood expected to settle her down.

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): H Daly (7 wins from 39 runners, 18%) runs MAID OF THE NIGHT

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Lacey (4 wins from 16 runners, 25%) runs MASKED MATGIL LONGEST TRAVELLER: ALFA DAWN trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 150 miles.

Preference is for MASKED MATGIL, who has already shown ability in this sphere and could improve significantly for the step up in trip on her handicap bow. Maid of The Night has a similar profile and is feared most, whilst Makety also warrants respect.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): E Williams (11 wins from 137 runners, 8%) runs WAVECREST TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): E Williams (3 wins from 24 runners, 12%) runs WAVECREST LONGEST TRAVELLER: ROOSTER COGBURN trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 150 miles.

A decent contest, in which ROOSTER COGBURN is fancied to defy a penalty on a rare outing beyond 2m, having scored impressively at that trip here on his latest start. On The Platform would have gone close if not for a late error last time and is respected from the same mark, whilst another recent course winner Family Pot is respected down in trip
