Official Raceday Programme | £3.50

Welcome to Hereford Racecourse our Season Finale, Dino Family Fun Raceday!

There is plenty for all to enjoy today, please take a look through the racecard where you will find a timetable of Dinosaur events, and also details on our word search around the course where you can win an Easter treat. All kids activities can be found on the Rusty Bridge Lawn in front of the grandstand facing the racetrack. Don’t miss out on one of our Ranger Training classes, where you will learn the skills needed to tame those cheeky Raptors! We also have colouring stations, fossil finding sand pits, and free face painting.

Looking to our seven-race card that forms the afternoon it is great to see returning winners from this season and we wish all connections the best of luck with their runners. Whilst our racing season is coming to a close, we look forward to welcoming other events here throughout the Summer, including Hereford Pride on Saturday 10th June, and also the return of the Hereford Food Festival on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September. We will then kick racing back off here on Tuesday 17th October, so do get that date in your diary as I’m sure it will be here before we know it

I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support this season, from our Owners, Trainers, Jockeys & Stable Staff, to our permanent team and raceday staff, and to you the wonderful racing fans

We hope you have a great day with us today.

Best wishes,

Camilla Esling General Manager

The thriving GOLD CLERMONT is taken to defy the handicapper and complete a quick chase hat-trick. Duc de Beauchene is down to a mark he can be very competitive from and is feared most ahead of Sam Thomas chase newcomer Prince des Fichaux.

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

ANOTHER DAY OUT shaped well with a view to stepping up in trip when runner-up on her Southwell debut 17 days ago, so she gets the nod to go one better. Everyonesgame wasn’t disgraced in a warm race at Newbury on his most recent outing in November and is an obvious threat returning from a break having also had a breathing operation since last seen. Max’s Champ isn’t without hope if responding well to headgear

LONGEST TRAVELLER: TORRENT DES MOTTES trained by J Cornwall, Melton Mowbray, 114 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

YELLOW JACKET made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Ffos Las and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better here off just a 1lb higher mark. Both Ardmayle (second choice) and Lonimoss Bareliere were not at their best last time out but are weighted to have a say if back on their A-games in a handicap where lots have a question mark against them.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: LESKINFERE trained by J Cornwall, Melton Mowbray, 114 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

A few in with chances but LESKINFERE seemed to excel himself from well out of the weights at Market Rasen last week and, back racing from his proper mark in this, he has much more realistic claims of notching a third career success He gets the nod over Just Go For It, who is expected to leave both previous efforts in this sphere behind after a pair of Wincanton victories over timber last month. Family Pot and Layerthorpe can fight out third spot
