Uttoxeter Racecard - Saturday 18th May

Welcome to our “Music Live” Race evening featuring ‘Ocean Colour Scene’ in concert. A particularly warm welcome and thank you to our sponsors today, Simon Roberts, Simon Cammillare, KMF, Staffs Construction, Avonside Supplies, QuinnBet and Towergate

It’s fantastic to be once again staging a live music concert here at Uttoxeter. This evening has been as popular as ever and we expect to see yet another bumper crowd here at the course The team have been planning and working towards the event for months now and I would like to thank them for their dedication and hard work which has helped us put on the show.

We have a 7-race card here this evening, with some healthy declarations, which will hopefully see some competitive racing throughout the card.

We have a quick turnaround this week for our next meeting (Sunday 26th May) which is our first Family Funday of the year. This year we will be holding our first ever Dino Family Fun Day. There will be lots of entertainment for all the family to enjoy, watch out for the Raptors and T-rex dinosaurs that will be roaming the course For a special day out with the family you could book into the “Dino Diner” which will see our marquee turned into a family friendly restaurant for the day.

Our next music event is on Saturday 15th June which will see Scott Mills performing a 90s v 00s DJ set with special guest Gareth Gates. I’m sure it’s going to be a fun night with a great party atmosphere.

Thank you once again for visiting us at Uttoxeter Racecourse I hope you all have an enjoyable evening and manage to pick some winners. Good luck

Brian Barrass Executive Director

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.

Mental Health Awareness Week

13 - 19 May 2024

MOVEMENT

Racing staff and racecourse staff are wearing green ribbons today to show their commitment to raising awareness and ending the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week this year is Movement: Moving more for our mental health. Movement is important for our mental health. But so many of us struggle to move enough. Going for a walk in your neighbourhood or around your workplace, putting on your favourite music and dancing around the living room, chair exercises when you’re watching television – it all counts!

Racing Welfare is committed to providing accessible, tailored mental health and wellbeing support services to all of racing’s workforce.

DEXTERITY has already tasted success between the flags and there was plenty of encouragement to be gleaned from his second at Perth on hurdling debut, so he’s the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Penalised mares Disco Daisy and Miss Maverick are likely to emerge as the biggest dangers.
