Aintree Racecard - Friday 13th May by Weatherbys

THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

Welcome to our first Evening Racing of the year. We have all had to chance to catch our breath after a fantastic Randox Grand National Festival last month, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support in making the three days truly unforgettable. Once again we would like to offer congratulations to our 2022 winner, Noble Yeats for trainer Emmet Mullins, owner Robert Waley-Cohen and the now-retired amateur jockey, Sam Waley-Cohen who finished his career with a fairy tale victory. It was certainly a race that will live long in the memory as we welcomed back a sold out crowd for the first time in three years. This evening’s action is set to begin at 5:15pm, and we have a fantastic seven race card to look forward to, including the exciting “Point-to-Point” Bumper Standard National Hunt Flat Race bringing the card to a close which often gives us a chance to take a look at the stars of the future, both in the saddle and the equine athletes. We would like to thank our partners Racing TV for their continued support, and hope they have a wonderful evening. We wish you a great evening at Aintree today, and hope to welcome you back for our next race meeting on Friday 10 June which features live music from Nile Rodgers & CHIC. Tickets are available online and are selling fast, we hope to see you there.

PLAY SMARTER

UKANTANGO was really strong at the ﬁnish when making a winning bumper debut in March and on that evidence is a well-above average hurdles prospect. Baasem was pretty talented on the Flat and while he lacks a run is sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut.

THEATRE LEGEND signalled he’s ready to go close again when ﬁfth at Perth and he can capitalise on an attractive mark with Brian Hughes also an eye-catching booking in the saddle. Paddy’s Motorbike is another weighted to have a big say, with taking Kempton scorer Dorking Boy also ﬁrmly in the picture in an open handicap.

PLAY SMARTER

A case can be made for a few of these, but the most persuasive one is for EXELERATOR EXPRESS who made an eye-catching return from an absence when ﬁfth over C&D last month and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Tile Tapper has been off the track since scoring readily at Chepstow in February but is still feared most ahead of in-form duo Sail Away and Magna Sam.

Notices

Racehorse & Jockey Welfare

Weights, Pedigrees, Trainers’ Names, Descriptions, Performances and Values of races have been added for the convenience of the Public, but are subject to alteration. All horses must parade in the Parade Ring except by permission of the Stewards, but in all cases must pass through the Ring on the way to the Post. The Management reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone without assigning a reason for so doing.

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Aintree Racecourse employs a minimum of three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualiﬁed paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey. If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.

Parade Ring Access In the interests of safety, access to the parade ring is strictly limited to Owners and Trainers with runners in the race, British Horseracing Authority Officials and Racecourse Officials who are on duty at the meeting and Emergency Service Personnel. Those people holding badges or accreditation that allow access to the Parade Ring are asked to refrain from entering this area unless it is absolutely necessary in the course of their business.

Photography Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes in the public enclosures. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication without prior accreditation being obtained. Flash photography is not permitted anywhere in the Parade Ring or Winner’s Enclosure areas, or anywhere in the close vicinity of horses.
