Chelmsford City - Tuesday 3rd August

T U E S DAY 3 R D AU G U S T 2 0 21 OFFICIAL PROGR AMME

WELCOME W E LC O M I N G O U R G U E S T S B AC K TO C C R !

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse for just our second fixture open to the general public since March 2020. It’s been a while!

It has undoubtedly been a difficult time for all of us up and down the country and we’re just delighted to be able to offer our customers a sense of normality once again.

However, with Covid still very much with us - and whilst we have plenty of outdoor space here - we do all need to continue play our part. As such, we would encourage you to continue with some straightforward practices that are being recommended at all racecourses. These will benefit you and your fellow racegoers today. Therefore, please use your discretion to wear a face mask indoors and in busier areas; please continue to use the hand sanitisers available, and please still bear in mind the good principle of social distancing. The guidance around “hands, face, space, fresh air” remains as important as ever. Thank you.

The seven scheduled races this afternoon have attracted 62 runners, and they’ll all be looking to win a share of the £50,000 prize money pot that’s on offer.

The feature of our card is race six at 4.18pm - the £11,500 “tote.co.uk” stakes over five furlongs. Ten good sprinters are in the line-up for this competitive test of speed and four of them have won here at this trip before before.

One of those, Adam West’s Live in the Moment is actually looking for a five-timer this afternoon and ran on well to win here last time out.

However, that was nearly a year ago and so he may perhaps be better for the run today.

Consequently, Top Breeze could well be the answer here. He won well here back in June, has not been out of the first two in three runs at CCR and will be staying on strongly at the finish with David Egan in the saddle.

We hope you have a fabulous time with your friends and family this afternoon. Our next fixture is Tuesday evening, 10th August and we’d be thrilled to see you again for all the colour and excitement of Summer horseracing at CCR. Fraser Garrity Racecourse Manager

Star Ratings Explained each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

★★★★★ selected to win the race. ★★★★✩ Good chance of being placed. ★★★✩✩ By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

★★✩✩✩ Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. ★✩✩✩✩ can be given little or no chance.

GU I D E TO R AC I N G at c h e l m s fo R d c i t y Racing at chelmsford city takes place on the flat over distances from five furlongs to two miles – there are eight furlongs in a mile.

Whilst most flat races take place on turf, racing here takes place on a synthetic surface. as the surface tends to have better drainage than turf it is easier to produce consistent racing ground whilst during cold weather it is also far less prone to freezing – hence the generic term all Weather racing.

Races over five, six and seven furlongs tend to be a pure test of speed, with races over a mile and further better suited to horses with stamina. there are many different types of races but all are based on the sex, age or ability of the horse. the most common is a handicap – a race where each horse is allocated a weight, according to its ability. the best horse in the race will carry the biggest weight; theoretically giving each horse an equal chance. the skill is trying to work out which horses are better than the handicapper thinks they are! maiden races are for horses which have yet to win a race. often aimed at two-year-olds, but also open to older horses, the skill here is to decipher what can sometimes be very limited form. claiming and selling races allow the connections to offer their horse for sale. after the race the runners are offered for sale at the price printed next to their name in the racecard. other types of races include Group and listed races which are aimed at the very best horses in training and the classics – the 1000 and 2000 Guineas, the derby, the oaks and the st leger. if you have any questions about today’s racing please feel free to speak to any member of the raceday team.

(Penalty Value £3510) CITY SELECTIONS With The Moonlight was well supported ahead of her debut at Newmarket but ran too green and could only manage fourth. She should have learnt plenty from that experience and can go close here, but NOONIE brings the best form to the table and is taken to go one better than her three-quarters of a length second at Carlisle. Marco Botti’s newcomer La Duchesse might prove best of the remaining trio.

He is a three-time C&D winner and bounced back to form when a staying-on fourth at Yarmouth last time (may have finished closer but for interference).Busby outran massive odds over 1m at Kempton latest and is an interesting player back sprinting, while Tomshalfbrother has every chance if producing his best.

First-time gelding Nibras Gold and Where You At are closely matched on their recent Wolverhampton clash and both warrant respect, while Blazon shouldn’t be too far away either.

PLAY SMARTER

It’s probably best to overlook PAX BRITANNICA’s latest effort at Chester (on account of the soft ground) and she is taken to add to the victories she registered at Wolverhampton and over this C&D last year.

Aleatoric and Nibras Gold were both successful last time and need considering, particularly the former, but Scudamore may pose a bigger threat if able to bounce back from his Kempton no-show.

PLAY SMARTER

It would appear that ALMADRINA’s progression has levelled off, but she is at least proving consistent and looks the most solid option. Modern Beauty failed to measure up to market expectations on his handicap bow at Yarmouth, but he’s worth another chance and is second choice ahead of Bonnie Lad.
