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.

This can go the way of NOVAK, who got firmly back on track when finishing runner-up at Southwell just over 3 weeks ago and Iain Jardine’s 5-y-o looks good to go a place better back sprinting. His main threat may come from Bright, who made a good start to life in handicaps when third over C&D last month, with the consistent Grenham Bay and Golden Passport another couple to consider. 1-2-3: 1.NOVAK 2.BRIGHT (IRE) 3.GRENHAM BAY (IRE) KEY colours

RACE SUMMARY SUPREME TENACITY failed only narrowly at Newcastle last time and with the winner having struck again since, he can gain a deserved breakthrough victory off just a 1lb higher mark. Desert Raider isn’t proving the easiest to catch right but is handily weighted if back on his A-game so is feared most, while James Fanshawe’s Trois Blancs could also have a say if, as expected, he takes a step forward on his handicap debut. 1-2-3: 1.SUPREME TENACITY (IRE) 2.DESERT RAIDER 3.TROIS BLANCS KEY colours

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.

ROGUE SOLDIER took advantage of a good opportunity to score in maiden company here in November and looks on a fair mark returning to handicap company. Ernie’s Valentine fluffed his lines at the start here last time but remains interesting on the form of his previous success, with Miss Bluebelle also respected on the back of another sound effort on all-weather.
