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

LONGEST TRAVELLERS: HIGH COURT JUDGE trained by H Spiller & GIVE A LITTLE BACK trained by Amy Murphy - both Newmarket, 125 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

The vote goes to GRAFFITI, who did the job well over 9.5f here last time and neither this drop back in trip nor the 6lb rise are likely to overly inconvenience him. Prince Ali was below par last time but he’s otherwise been in good form in recent months and looks the main danger ahead of Harbour Vision and Finn Russell.

RACE SUMMARY

TRUE STATESMAN ran his best race for a while when third at Chelmsford and looks interesting again now having dropped in the weights. Ernie’s Valentine was all the rage in the betting starting out for this yard but struggled to get involved after a poor start here last month so is worth another chance, while Bass Player made a decent start for this yard when third here 3 weeks ago.

RACE FIVE

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.

RACE SUMMARY

CRAFTER landed some tidy bets when capitalising on a much-reduced mark over C&D 2 weeks ago, and having been nudged up just 2lb for that success, Mark Loughnane’s 5-y-o has solid claims of following up. He can get the better of Shaheen Saqaar, who should benefit from this drop back in trip, with Havana Goldrush and Ebury taken to fight out minor honours.

ISLE OF WOLVES had been in good order prior to an excusable run last time and, down in grade, he’s worth taking a chance on. Swing To The Stars and Ermin Street both arrive in reasonable form and are likely to get competitive.
