The Wood and Wood Signs ‘National Hunt’ Maiden Hurdle Race
As the title suggests,maiden races tend to be for younger horses that arestill learning their wayoverhurdles or fences,allowing the inexperienced horses to race against each other beforegraduating through the ranks.This race differs slightlyfroma standardmaiden event in that it is restricted to horses that have been specificallybred for National Hunt racing and thereforehorses that have previouslyrun on the Flat arebarred from taking part. This twomiles,three and ahalf furlongs hurdle race is for four-year-olds and upwardswhich have notwon over hurdles
PAGES34-35
2nd Race 12.55pm

This particular twomiles and three furlong novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwardswhich have not wonmorethan three hurdle races

A7lb penalty will be awarded to anyhorse to have won after 5th November
Our second handicap on the cardisa three miles handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards rated from 0to 140. Once ahorse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularlyreassessed.A below pareffort could result in areduced rating whilsta strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses areentered to race beforetheir handicap rating has been reviewedand so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they areallotted a mandatory penalty –usually7lb
PAGES60-62
6th Race 3.15pm
This handicap hurdle for three-year-olds and upwards rated from 0to145 is run over twomiles.Ina handicap, the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating, which is based on their levelofform shown so far.The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher-rated horses to carry moreweightthan alower-ratedrival. As aguide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lowerend of the scale, whilstthe very bestperformers would be rated as high as 170
PAGES64-66

Few sporting venues can match the rich heritage and history of Ascot Racecourse. Over the past 300 years, Ascot has established itself as anational institution; with Royal Ascot becoming the centrepiece of the British social calendar and the ultimate stage for the best racehorses in the world.
It was Queen Anne in 1711 who first saw the potential for aracecourse at Ascot (in those days called East Cote). Whilst out riding near Windsor Castle she came upon an area of open heath that looked, in her words, “ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch”.
The first race meeting ever held at Ascot took place later that year, on Saturday 11th August. The inaugural event was Her Majesty’s Plate, worth 100 guineas and open to any horse, mare or gelding over six years of age. Each horse was required to carry a weight of 12 stone and the seven runners were all English hunters, rather different to the speedy thoroughbreds that race on the Flat today.
The nature of the contest also borelittle resemblance to modern day racing at Ascot. That race consisted of three separate heats, each four miles long –about the length of today’s Grand National course. The winning horse would have required tremendous stamina, but sadly there is no record of who claimed that first plate.
Queen Anne’s gift to racing, founding the Royal Racecourse, is marked by the tradition of opening Royal Ascot with the Queen Anne Stakes.
The racecourse was laid out by William Lowen, assisted by ateam including a carpenter, apainter, and aracing administrator. The first permanent building was erected around 1794 by alocal Windsor builder. Holding 1,650 people, it was used for almost fifty years. In 1813, Parliament passed an Act of
Enclosure, which ensured that Ascot Heath would be kept and used as aracecourse for the public in the future. Racing at Ascot was now secure.
The precise origins of the RoyalMeeting are unclear,asthe event evolvedfromthe first four-daymeeting that took place in 1768
The meeting as it’sknown todayonlyreally started to takeshape with the introduction of the Gold Cup in 1807.Royal Ascotwas the onlyrace meeting held at Ascotuntil 1939. The Gold Cup remains the featurerace of the thirdday of RoyalAscot, traditionally the busiestday of the week, when high fashion and exquisite millinery takecentre stagealongside Flat racing’s mostelite stayers.In2009,Yeats, ridden by Johnny Murtagh and trained by Aidan O’Brien, wonhis fourth consecutive Gold Cup –a magnificent achievement, and one that Stradivarius justfailed to emulate in 2021 and 2022 having wonthe race three times between 2018 and 2020.
Although founded by aQueen and located on Crown property, the administration of Ascot is handled on behalf of the Crown by a representative appointed by the Monarch. Up until 1901, the racecourse was managed on the Sovereign’s behalf by the Master of the Royal Buckhounds. In 1901, Lord Churchill was appointed as His Majesty’s Representative, responsible for running the course and determining entrance to the Royal Enclosure.
The Ascot Authority was established in 1913 by an Act of Parliament, with His Majesty’s Representative becoming Senior Trustee. Today, as AscotAuthority (Holdings) Limited, Ascothas aformal boardchaired by Sir Francis BrookeBt., who also serves as His Majesty’s Representative at Ascot. His Majesty The King is the thirteenth monarch that Ascothas operated under having succeeded Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. As an owner and breeder of racehorses, HerLate Majesty took akeen interestinthe races and had great success with her own horses over the years,including mostfamously winning the Gold Cup with Estimate in 2013.
The jockeys riding the Sovereign’shorses can be identified by the royalracing colours: purple body with gold braid, scarletsleeves, and black velvet cap with gold fringe– the same as those of King EdwardVII and GeorgeIVasPrince Regent.
During RoyalAscot, the Monarch traditionally presents the Gold Cup and the Platinum Jubilee Stakes.New versions of these trophies aremade each year and presented to the winners to keep.
Ascot Racecourse closed for a£200 million redevelopment in 2004, and was reopened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20th June 2006.
There have been several landmark occasions since Ascot Racecourse reopened in 2006 and none more memorable than two special Gold Cup days –when Yeats completed his four-timer of Gold Cup wins in 2009 and when Queen Elizabeth II won the stayers’ championship with Estimate in 2013.
In 2011, Ascot celebrated its tercentenary and staged the inaugural QIPCO British Champions Day, now the culmination of the European elite Flat racing season.
The great Frankel won the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day in 2011, and the curtain came down on the career of officially the best horse of all time when he won the Champion Stakes ayear later. Sir Henry Cecil’spride and joywon five of his remarkable unbeaten run of 14 races at Ascot.
2012 also sawAscotatthe heart of the country’s celebrations to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, with the
Golden Jubilee Stakes renamed the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and wonbythe great Australian mare, Black Caviar.Renamed again in 2022 as the Platinum Jubilee Stakes, the race became one of twocontests at Royal Ascotworth £1 million in prize money and victory went to Godolphin’sNavalCrown Ascothas continued to cement its reputation as Europe’spremier destination for the best horses in the world. In recent years it is the Americans who have had mostsuccess,with Tepin’swin in the 2016 Queen Anne Stakes and Lady Aurelia’sKing’s Stand Stakes victory the following year being notable highlights. The latter fillywas trained by Wesley Ward, who has nowsaddled 12 winners at the Royal Meeting, including Campanelle who was successful twice in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the world’sbestsprinter,NatureStrip,travelled over from Australia and produced abrilliant performance to win the King’s Stand Stakes
It is notjustinternational horses which Ascot is known for,ofcourse. Jockeys also come from all over the world to ride here– perhaps mostnotablyatthe Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup,aunique fixtureinthe global racing calendar which each year sees manyofworld’s top jockeys compete for points to lift racing’s ultimate team prize, with four teams battling it out across athrilling eight-race contest.
While the grandeur of the RoyalMeeting takes centrestageeach June, Ascotisalso renowned for hosting Europe’spremier midsummer middle-distance contestthe following month. The King GeorgeVIand Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes has been wonbymanyof racing’s mostdistinguished champions including Nijinsky,Mill Reef, Dancing Brave, Nashwan, Galileo and -morerecently-the remarkable mareEnable, who in July 2020 made history by becoming the firsthorse to win three renewals of this prestigious prize.

The safety and welfareofhorses and jockeys is paramount throughout the year at Ascot.
In recent years we have invested significantly to improveour facilities on and off the track to ensureweprovide the very bestcareand attention for all participants.
Nowhereisthis better demonstrated than in the changes made to the racing surface itself during the redevelopment in 2006.The key elements of the project were to camber the home and old paddock bends and to remove the road crossings over the track, replacing them with underpasses.This created asafer surface for the horses,aspreviously, some less experienced runners had occasionallyshied at the differing surfaces
Further improvements to equine welfare provision were made as part of a£700,000 project to create an enhanced unsaddling area in 2016.Increased in size to accommodate largefield races morecomfortably, the Unsaddling EnclosureLawnalso has equine misting fans to aid with post-race cooling of horses
ForJump racing, we introduced the one-fit padded hurdles for the start of the 2018 season, becoming the firstGrade 1track to do so.Vetsgenerallyfind fewersuperficial
injuries with horses running over padded hurdles compared to the traditional birch hurdle.
At the start of the 2022/23season, we switched from orangetowhite markings on our wood and vinyl padding of take-off boards, guardrails and top boards.Research from Exeter University showedwhite provides increased contrastand visibility for horses, leading to improved jumping performance. Four specificallyqualified equine vets areon duty every raceday, dedicated to the welfare of all the horses.During each race, vets follow the runners by car and can respond to and attend acasualty generallywithin aminute as fastasthe paramedic teams responsible for human casualties.
Ascot’stwo permanent veterinary boxesare supplemented with an X-Raymachine for the major meetings to assistwith swift diagnosis beforeadministration of treatment on site or anymovement necessary to equine hospitals. Thereare twoequine ambulances on course at all times and three ambulances for any incidents involving injuries to jockeys.The jockeys’ facilities at Ascotinclude amedical treatment room, rest rooms and adedicated room for physiotherapy

Strength and Learning Through Horses (SLTH) is London’slargestdedicated equine assisted therapy and education charity.They offer life changing mental health and education services via equine assisted therapy and horsemanship programmes for young people aged 4-25. The charity has a10-year track recordand currentlysupports 400-500 young people per year.
The success lies in the partnership between Clinical Psychologists, Equine Behaviour Specialists,and highlyreactive horses.These horses respond to the emotions and behaviours of young people by reacting fearfullytoanger, nervouslytoanxiety or dominantlytolack of confidence. This feedback enables young people to reflect on and alter their behaviour to build successful relationships with the horses.These lessons translates into life outside the stables,allowing the young people to build successful and positive relationships with family, peers and school staff, often when all other interventions have failed.
The need for horses who aresensitive to emotions and energy has led SLTH to develop aprogramme for retraining racehorses to successfullywork with young people and their complexneeds.They arealso at the forefront of research into equine assisted therapy,undertaking innovative projects such as bringing their work into prison settings,aswell as offering team building and mental health days to organisations as another waytofund their work.
Currently, the charity is hugelyexcited to be undertaking the ‘Home Our Horses Campaign’ to build London’sfirst dedicated equine therapy centre. This campaign is focused on funding the creation of apurpose-built site on 30-acres of land being leased from BarnetCouncil, with who SLTH have along-standing partnership. This newsite is settobe four times the size of the current base, helping to secure the futureofthe charity in North London to allowfor increased capacity,bespoke facilities,better accessibility and improved welfarefor current and futurehorses. It will also enable the expansion of the racehorse retraining programme, which has already successfullyretrained three ex-racehorses who were notsuited to more traditional retraining or rehoming programmes
Forasmall charity the goals areambitious.Although well on the waytofunding the build, thereis still aconsiderable waytogo. With their services in need more than ever before they continue to welcome support from the equine community to ensurethe charity can expand to meetthis growing demand, and to safeguard equestrian life for marginalised young people in London indefinitely.
The charity will be our dedicated bucket collectors todayand welcome your support if youare able. To find out more, visit: www.strengthandlearningthroughhorses.org

At all meetings there is ateam of specially qualified vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses.
During each race vets follow the horse by car and can attend acasualty in the same response time as the paramedic teams responsible for human casualties. It is standard practise for screens to be fixed around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This does not reflect the severity of an injury, just allows the vet some privacy and the patient acalm environment in which to recover. Please do not always assume the worst if you see screens around afallen horse.
