KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained

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

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed

HHHII By no means without a chance

HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims

HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope

IIIII 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-handicaps 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

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

VETERINARY CARE

Horse welfare is a priority at Wolverhampton. At every meeting there are two specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all the horses in action One vet is present at the start of each race and during the race follows the runners in a vehicle Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. The second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst

WEIGHTWATCHER: NELSON GAY won off a handicap mark of 84, his rating is now down 8lb to 76.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ECCLESIASTICAL trained by T Davidson, Carlisle, 186 miles.

NELSON GAY wasn’t at his best at Thirsk but he had previously capitalised on his reduced mark when successful on AW at Newcastle so, back on an artificial surface, he could be worth chancing to bounce back from a handy draw Bang On The Bell and Murbih head up the dangers

(11/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. No surprise to see a better showing returned to an artificial surface from what remains a workable mark.
