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.

KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained

S Br

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

CIOTOG gave an indication that he’s back in form and ready to defy his reduced mark when second here a week ago, so he’s preferred to At Liberty, who can shake off a lesser run at Lingfield a couple of days ago. Several others arrive in form, including Sea of Charm and Plumette.

RACE SUMMARY

Claims can be made for plenty and it could be worth siding with one of the 4-y-os in the shape of KNEBWORTH. A dual winner on turf last summer, he ended the campaign with good placed efforts, and with the step back up in trip a plus, he could well make use of a handy inside draw. Baldomero wasn’t seen to best effect at Lingfield 8 days ago and he’s a threat. Ferrous and Bosh are just another couple to consider

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KINGSFORD trained by G Tuer, Northallerton, 155 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

CON TE PARTIRO improved markedly to land a gamble on handicap debut at Kempton last time and a 2-lb rise is unlikely to be enough to stop him with further progress on the cards Sunblock ran poorly at Newcastle a couple of days ago but is far from one to be writing off if she lines up. Rising Force should give his running once more.
