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.

RISING FORCE looked unlucky when narrowly failing to get to grips with Forever Proud at Chelmsford City recently and, granted better luck-in-running this time, Robert Eddery’s charge can resume winning ways Forever Proud lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at the same course since and should give another good account, while his lightly-raced stablemate Jaamir and Port Noir also merit respect. However, Plumette, who also encountered traffic problems on her latest start, is feared most
