Horse & Jockey Welfare at Wolverhampton

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface.

On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary.

Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www. wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk.

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

Lingfieldscorer The Liegeman arrives on the up and seems sure to be in the mix while C&D second Miss Anya and Tony Carroll’s new recruits Wrestling Revenue and Interestnpenalties need factoring in too.

Karl Burke’s Newcastle-scorer Sports Coach rates the obvious threat, although David O’Meara’s new recruit Jenni has the form to play a part if fully tuned up after a seven-month absence.

Voltaic should be suited by a return to this trip so he can give the selection most to think about, with Brave Display and Written Broadcast taken to fight out third.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT WOLVERHAMPTON Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider.

Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk.

MOUNT ATHOS has got firmly back on track having been gelded, successful over this trip at Kempton prior to a solid second in a French listed contest 23 days ago. He can concede weight all round and come out on top. Intervention is thriving and can’t be discounted in his bid to land the 4-timer.

First-time cheekpieces may put an extra edge on Misty Grey who is steadily easing in the weights.

RACE SUMMARY

LIGHT SPEED’s theme of race-by-race progress continued as he brought up the hat-trick at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and, with the likelihood of more to come, he can make another bold bid on the front end. Civil Law landed this race 12 months ago and looked as good as ever when successful over C&D recently so he’s feared. Felix and King’s Code complete the shortlist.

RACE SUMMARY

AEROPLANE MODE would have finished closer than third with a clear run at Lingfield a fortnight ago and that performance suggests he’s ready to strike. Distinction is wisely turned out under a 5lb penalty having routed the opposition over C&D last week and he has to be feared, along with Have You A Minute.

RACE SUMMARY

Plenty are in with a shout. SUFFRAJET made light of an absence when going in at Kempton and with that form working out well then Charlie Johnston’s low-mileage daughter of Golden Horn is fancied to strike again. Western Stars arrives at the top of his game and is feared most, although a solid case can also be made for C&D winner Percy Willis and the returning Amazing.
