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.

Total race value £9000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3635, 2nd £1817, 3rd £909, 4th £455, 5th £227. (Penalty Value £4752.90)

RACE SUMMARY

Having run to a fair level in bumpers, I AM GONNA BE made a promising hurdles debut when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month and she can improve on that to go one better this time around. Young Moloney could be the main danger having shown more on her 2 starts for her current yard, ahead of Its A Midnight. 1-2-3: 1.I AM GONNA BE (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY

BOUNCING BOBBY stays well on the Flat and, upped in trip, showed improved form in this sphere when opening his account at Carlisle last month. The 5-y-o can score again with this longer distance to suit, though Fenland Tiger is respected having won both of his starts so far this season. Great Raffles also bids for a hat-trick on his return to action.

RACE SUMMARY

Upped in trip, FAITQUE DE L’ISLE built on his reappearance when off the mark at Ffos Las last month and the 7-y-o could have more to offer at this distance. He can follow up, with Quiet Flow feared most as he tries this trip for the first time. Ballintogher Boy completes the shortlist.

HORSE WELFARE

Here at Newcastle Racecourse nothing matters more to us than looking after the horses that make us the North East’s Premier Racecourse We do everything in our power to ensure that we provide a racing surface of the highest quality and we take every conceivable care to minimise the chances of horses incurring any injury whilst here.

Regrettably, as in any highly competitive sport, there are occasions when something goes wrong and horses have to be given the very best veterinary care.

There are three Veterinary Surgeons here today to ensure that should any horse need help they will be attended to within seconds of any incident occurring Their first priority is to make a rapid diagnosis and to help them do this our groundstaff team will erect screens around any horse that needs attention. Once the diagnosis is made, one of our horse ambulances will attend the scene and will transport the horse back to the stables where further treatment and assessment can be undertaken. Occasionally, it may be that the nature of the injury is such that a horse is unable to make a recovery If this is the case the Veterinary team may take the decision to put the horse down straight away In these circumstances we should remember that the horse’s welfare comes first and that this option is kindest for the horse

Total race value £16900 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £6760, 2nd £3381, 3rd £1690, 4th £846, 5th £280, 6th £280. (Penalty Value £8822.52) Weights raised 2lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

LUCKY LOVER BOY escapes a penalty for last week’s C&D success and the 7-y-o can make it 5 wins from his last 7 outings for the Greenall & Guerriero team. Lock Down Luke is a likeable type and should give another good account, whilst Jet Legs could have more to offer now handicapping.

RACE

Irish point winner PEAKY BOY gave some indication as to why he fetched a six-figure sum when runner-up at Bangor last month and should take all the beating in this company. Yorkshire Man Sam also produced a promising debut effort and could provide the biggest threat, with Frankie Lamb and Thornaby Exceed perhaps the most interesting newcomers 1-2-3: 1.PEAKY BOY (IRE) 2.YORKSHIRE MAN SAM 3.FRANKIE
