Star Ratings Explained

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

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

LONGEST TRAVELLER: HAUT FOLIN trained by Venetia Williams, Hereford, 256 miles.

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

FUTURE BENEFITS needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Doncaster on his most recent outing but he’d looked promising previously, including when scoring over C&D and he could be worth chancing to bounce back with the likelihood of more to come in this sphere. This is competitive however, the dangers headed up by last month’s easy C&D scorer Court At Slip and Myburg.

STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): A M Thomson (15 wins from 79 runners, 19%) runs NINETOFIVE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): A M Thomson (2 wins from 7 runners, 29%) runs NINETOFIVE WEIGHTWATCHER: FOR THREE won off a handicap mark of 108, his rating is now down 7lb to 101.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FOR THREE trained by M Weatherer, Malton, 90 miles.

This looks a reasonable race for the grade with SHIR I DONT KNOW, who was very impressive when an easy winner on handicap debut at Ayr a month ago, fancied to shrug off a 7lb rise. Fostered Phll and Moonlight Glory look the chief threats unless there’s significant market support for Ninetofive on return from a break

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
