HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT HEREFORD

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.hereford-racecourse.co.uk.

LITTER

Please help us keep Hereford Racecourse tidy by disposing of your litter and old betting slips in the bins provided.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Flash photography is not permitted at any time.

Press and Commercial photographers must pre-arrange the necessary permission with the racecourse office at least 7 days before the race meeting. Amateur photographers are only permitted to take photographs in the areas normally open to the public and should not encroach upon areas specifically designated for or used by professional photographers. Professional filming and photography takes place here at Hereford Racecourse for various publications and broadcasting, and racegoers (including families) consent to being filmed, photographed and otherwise recorded by Hereford Racecourse or any third party authorised by Hereford Racecourse.

SAFETY

In the interests of public safety all visitors to the Racecourse should follow directions of the Safety Stewards on the Stands and the Raceday Staff throughout the racecourse. Please do not leave bags or your possessions unattended at any time as this could cause a security alert. The racecourse reserves the right to ask anyone clearly under the influence of alcohol to leave at any time. Racegoers are requested to be particularly aware of their personal safety in all areas where they come into close contact with the horses, such as the parade ring and the horse walks.

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

FAMOSO was in really good form last month and might be up to resuming winning ways under Conor Ring. Supasunrise is effectively having his first run since scoring under Finn Lambert at Warwick early last month and is second choice ahead of Maasai Warrior, who made a positive start for the Chris Gordon stable at Fontwell last month.

RACE SUMMARY

PARADE AWAY was a useful bumper scorer and possesses much the best hurdles form on offer too so is hard to side against for his new yard. Winning Irish pointer Handstands could emerge as the chief threat for the in-form Ben Pauling yard, with another hurdling debutante No No Fizz worthy of consideration too.

KESTREL VALLEY has been thriving of late, recording another wide-margin success at this C&D when making all on her seasonal/stable debut in October. The 9-y-o is taken to land this series final in her current form, with Heva Rose the main danger as she goes up in trip. Stanley Stanley also enters calculations on her return.

RACE SUMMARY Preference is for LUTTRELL LAD, who did the job well when regaining the winning thread at Cartmel in July and his subsequent fifth in a competitive Haydock handicap was no backward step, particularly given that he would’ve finished closer but for a mistake at the final flight. Copper Coin is entitled to come on for his reappearance spin at Kempton and is next on the list ahead of Lime Avenue, who remains of interest despite a low-key return at Wincanton.

RACE SUMMARY

A tricky contest to solve despite the small field but the vote goes to the progressive MR GREY SKY, who was perhaps a shade fortunate to follow up his reappearance success at Chepstow last time but Kim Bailey’s charge is fancied to complete the hat-trick at the expense of Western Zephyr, who has taken well to fences this season. Beau Balko is seemingly best of the rest.
