Find all the details and ways to book your tickets on our website www.worcester-racecousre.co.uk

Off track you will see the Worcester Balloon Festival starting to take shape, ready for this weekend. Within the racecard you will find more details on what it involves, but it certainly is a great day out for all the family with plenty to see.

We also have the Cheltenham Nail here once again, located in the Grandstand reception. Do take 5 minutes to go and have a look down the microscope, and admire the patience and quality of work on these pieces.

Today we also welcome a number of sponsors who have been supporting us for many years. Big thanks to PJ Nicholls, FBC Mamby Bowdler, Eventmasters, and Savills. The friends and family of Rory Daly also join us today, which is an annual celebratory event in memory of a great horse racing fan.

Starting us off today with our first race, we welcome Planetsport Bet, who have kindly sponsored for the first time. We welcome you all today and from the whole team here, we hope you all have yet another fantastic day with us.

To each and everyone of you here today, including owners, trainers, jockeys and groom; good luck and have a very enjoyable day.

Horse & Jockey Welfare at Worcester

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.worcester-racecourse.co.uk.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII 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 nonhandicaps 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

RACE RESULT: TIME

TWO MILES ABOUT FOUR FURLONGS (2M 4F) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE eventmasters.co.uk HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 5)

Total prize fund £6150 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2484, 2nd £1242, 3rd £621, 4th £311, 5th £155. (Penalty Value £3247.81) 18 Eliminated Under Rules (I)9 and (I)10.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): N Mulholland (28 wins from 182 runners, 15%) runs EMANATE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Mulholland (4 wins from 18 runners, 22%) runs EMANATE FANCY THAT: D Pipe won this race in 2021 and 2022. The stable runs ONLY FOOLS today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: HILLSIN trained by A Jones, Timberscombe, 119 miles.

JAXONNE was impressive when opening his account on his penultimate start and he’s likely to get back on the up away from very testing ground, so he takes preference over Hillsin, who belatedly opened his account at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago. Socialist Agenda is another player having won on the Flat last month.
