Uttoxeter Racecard - Saturday 12th November

Today marks our 11th Beer Festival in conjunction with Marston’s and to celebrate we have a fantastic choice of 8 real ales across site for you to choose from today.

Head down to the “Beer Festival Marquee” at the end of the grandstand to find the biggest selection of ales. We also have Radio Murphy playing a set before and during racing which I am sure will create a great atmosphere throughout the day.

Keep an eye out for Alex Stepney who will be here for a meet and great opportunity. Alex was in goal for Manchester United when they became the first English team to win the European Cup. Alex appeared for the club 546 times, keeping 175 clean sheets and is a legend in his trade.

There is a lot of hard work involved when planning this raceday and I would like to thank Paul Riley and his team at Carlsberg Marston’s for their continued support to enable us to make this noteworthy raceday the success it has become over the years.

Over the last 4 or 5 weeks mine and the teams thoughts have been focused on planning for 2023. Watch this space over the next month or so for some exciting announcements for our themed racedays for 2023.

Early Bird tickets are on sale for our 2023 Boulton Group Midlands Grand National Get your tickets now for the best price for our feature raceday in our calendar.

Also our 2023 Annual Memberships are now on sale and offer a great value proposition for the regular racecgoer with some fantastic additional benefits including access to any ARC racecourse meeting.

TASTING NOTES

WAINWRIGHT AMBER

4.0% ABV

With a subtle bitterness and delicately enticing hop balance, Wainwright Amber is satisfyingly moreish. Clean, creamy and lightly fruity; a pint at the pinnacle of perfection.

HOBGOBLIN IPA

4.5% ABV

Hobgoblin IPA is refreshingly hoppy. Pale golden with orange glints; prepare for an intense tropical explosion of zesty oranges, grapefruit, honey and juicy bitterness. Winner of the World’s best IPA 2018 and the UK’s best IPA 2020 and 2021, World Beer Awards.

HOBGOBLIN GOLD

4.2% ABV

Hobgoblin Gold is a light and refreshing golden beer A combination of four hop varieties infused with malted barley and a touch of wheat give this easy drinking golden beer tropical aromas of citrus and passionfruit.

MARSTON’S PEDIGREE

4.5% ABV

Has a fascinating aroma, with a palate of biscuity malt, spicy hops and light fruitiness. Named in a staff competition back in George Peard’s day, who was the head brewer at the time!

BRAKSPEAR GRAVITY 3.4% ABV

Brewed using the famous Henley ‘double-drop’ fermentation system in Victorian copper fermentation vessels, from the original Henley brewery This amber ale has a crystal malt and a well hopped bitterness in taste, which transforms into a bitter sweet and fruity finish with a good fruit, hop and malt nose.

YOUNG’S ORIGINAL 3.7% ABV

Refreshing with a fruity aroma and long, satisfying bitter finish. Take a London classic head-on!

RINGWOOD BOONDOGGLE 4.2% ABV

Boondoggle is a deliciously fruity ale affectionately crafted to savour & satisfy. A straw coloured beer brewed flavoured with just 2 aroma hops, the highly prized Fuggles and the famous cascade!

MARSTON’S 61 DEEP 3.8% ABV

61 metres, that’s the depth of the well at the Brewery that gives this refreshing pale ale its name. The five American and Australian hops give it its fresh, zesty aroma, whilst the tropical fruit and citrus notes make it extremely drinkable.

STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: ëëëëë Selected to win the race ëëëëê Good chance of being placed ëëëêê By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims. ëëêêê Unlikely to win but not totally without hope ëêêêê 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 non handicap 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.

LOOKAWAY showed a high level of form in bumpers last season and looks to have been found a good starting point over hurdles. He can get off to the perfect start at the likely expense of Leading Choice, who seems sure to build on his opening Chepstow third. Supreme Gift and Rules-newcomer Saladam are others worth a mention.

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE is a likeable type who’s bred to make a chaser, so could be up to making a winning start in this sphere.

LILTING VERSE showed ability in a couple of points and was getting going at the finish when third at Worcester on her Rules debut. She can put her experience to good use and get off the mark at the likely expense of Feel Good Inc, who has also shown form between the flags. Equinus makes plenty of appeal on paper first time out.
