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.

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 You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this, your bet will not be accepted

RACE SUMMARY

This looks a straightforward match between TO CATCH A THIEF and Quantum Cat. The former took a step forward from his debut effort when third at Leicester back in June and there’s likely more to come back from a break/having been gelded.

RACE SUMMARY

INTERVENTION failed to build on the promise of his last run here 9 days ago, but he wasn’t seen to best effect having got no cover out wide, so is well worth another chance. Heartrate isn’t long with his current yard and heads the dangers, along with Mykonos St John, who posted a seasonal best at Lingfield last week.

DIGITAL capitalised on the drop into claiming company with an authoritative display at Kempton last week and returning to a handicap from a career-low mark, Karl Burke’s 5-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Muscika, who won at Epsom in August and can continue his good work back from a break. Algheed and Mokaatil can do battle for minor honours.

RACE SUMMARY

ARTISAN DANCER has enjoyed a good spell on AW, completing a quick-fire hat-trick over further at Lingfield in September. Far from disgraced when third at Newcastle on his latest start 2 weeks ago, his mark remains a workable one and he can make his presence felt again. Buxted Reel and Turner Girl head up the dangers, whilst Surrey Belle isn’t one to dismiss out of hand either.
