WELCOME TO HEREFORD RACECOURSE

Welcome back to Hereford Racecourse for our Season Opener, kindly sponsored by Vickers Bet. It barely feels like we closed the gates in April and are back again! But we have lots to look forward to over the 2023/2024 season, including Residents Raceday on Tuesday 21st November which offers those with an ‘HR’ postcode 2 for 1 on general admission tickets. We have our ever-popular Christmas Jumper and Ladies Days, and the season will conclude in April with a new Countryside Raceday on Sunday 14th April. Our fixture list is displayed in your racecard so be sure to get these dates in your diary.

Throughout the season we have our Day at the Races packages available which offer great value, but these do sell out fast so would encourage you to get booked in via the website for your desired fixture. As well as our Snaffles restaurant opening on feature days, we also offer Premier Viewing in this facility for all fixtures in between, which makes the perfect base for the day, again all available via the website www.hereford-racecourse.co.uk.

With attention turning back to today’s action, I would like to take the opportunity to wish all Owners, Trainers, Jockeys and Stable Staff the best of luck with their runners at Hereford and beyond as we see the jumps season getting back into full swing.

Today we also remember a dear member of the raceday stewarding team, Bill Chapman, and we welcome his wife Kay, family and friends here to enjoy the 5th race in his name.

We hope they have a memorable day with us.

We hope you have a great day with us and remember we do it all again next Tuesday!

Best wishes,

Camilla Esling General Manager

Hereford’s top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and jockey. We have a dedicated team of highly qualified vets and doctors following the action at every stage and a horse ambulance in attendance at each meeting. It is our policy to erect green screens around the horse requiring veterinary attention, to provide the privacy required at such times. Please do not assume the worse if screens are erected around such a horse. We are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy please visit our website www.hereford-racecourse.co.uk.

Star Ratings Explained 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

hope.

Unlikely to win but not totally without Can be given 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 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 SUMMARY

PARADE AWAY progressed nicely in bumpers during the spring, winning at Stratford, and he’s been found a really good opportunity switched to timber. Titan Discovery wasn’t far off the selection’s ability in that sphere and is the obvious threat.

RACE SUMMARY SAMMY’S GUARANTEE is bred to come into her own over longer trips in due course, but she starts out over hurdles at a decidedly ordinary level, so gets the nod for a stable that has had plenty run well in the last fortnight or so. Tique was making headway when falling 3 out on her Newton Abbot hurdling debut when last seen and has to enter calculations, while On Se Calme wouldn’t be without hope if building on a considerate return at Market Rasen.

RACE SUMMARY

Trappy stuff and it’s probably worth sticking with the thriving CLASSIC CONCORDE. He proved very game when scoring at Bangor and could get the 4-timer up in his current mood.

Johnny B is interesting on his return, while it’s too soon to write off Lady Berlais for Dan Skelton.

The Bill Chapman Memorial Handicap Chase

We remember today our dear friend and colleague, Bill Chapman. We also welcome his wife Kay, family and friends who are here today.

Bill was a real gentleman, he loved his racing and was never happier when on a racecourse, whether that was for pleasure or working as a dedicated and hugely respected steward.

Bill’s other loves were his dogs...and Barcelona FC...!

The team of raceday staff and permanent staff alike miss Bill dearly, and we hope his family and friends have a memorable day with us today.

FIFTH RACE 4.10 TWO MILES ABOUT FIVE FURLONGS (2M 4F 194YDS) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE BILL CHAPMAN MEMORIAL HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 5) Total prize fund £6450 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2605, 2nd £1302, 3rd £651, 4th £326, 5th £163. (Penalty Value £3406.24) Weights raised 4lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (18-23): K Lee (17 wins from 58 runners, 29%) runs HELLFIRE PRINCESS TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): E Williams (4 wins from 19 runners, 21%) runs THE BOAT WEIGHTWATCHER: FANZIO won off a handicap mark of 103, his rating is now down 8lb to 95.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FANZIO trained by L Hurley, Tiverton, 102 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

The one who appeals most is FAMILY POT, who made a winning reappearance last season on the back of a similar period of absence and is just 2lb above the mark off which he gained the second of his two victories here in February. Sir Jack West should be spot-on following a couple of spins over hurdles and he is feared most ahead of recent Bangor scorer Sinister Minister.
