RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): K Dalgleish (41 wins from 344 runners, 12%) runs PAGE THREE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): Charlie Johnston (4 wins from 44 runners, 9%) runs CAPTAIN POTTER LONGEST TRAVELLER: HEDONISTA trained by E Walker, Upper Lambourn, 284 miles.

PAGE THREE ran to a fairly useful level when third at Kempton on her belated debut last month, finding only a pair of 3-y-os representing leading connections too strong, so she can build on that effort to open her account at the second time of asking. Hedonista also shaped promisingly on her first start and is feared most, ahead of Captain Potter

Having previously been trained in France, ALL THE KING’S MEN made an impressive stable debut when winning at Lingfield in January, but he was then absent for 11 weeks before finishing third at Kempton last month. With his latest run behind him, he can resume his progress and is taken to see off the challenge of Eligible and Streak Lightning

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
