Chelmsford City Racecard - Tuesday 10th August

T U E S DAY EVENING R AC I N G

T U E S DAY 10 T H 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 third 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 six scheduled races this evening have attracted 56 runners, and they’ll all be looking to win a share of the £35,000 prize money pot that’s on offer.

The feature of our card is race three at 7.20pm - the £6,500 “tote.co.uk” stakes over a mile. Eight runners are in the line-up for this competitive contest and Nibras Shadow immediately catches the eye as the filly is on a hat-trick after two easy recent wins. However, she will likely be a short price and has not yet won in this class.

Consequently, it could be worth taking a chance with Light Up Our Stars at a decent price. He was slowly away here back in February and made some late headway without being a threat. However, tonight’s trip plays to his strengths and his last win was at a mile here in October in the same class of race.

We hope you have a fabulous time with your friends and family tonight.

Our next fixture is this Thursday evening and we’d be thrilled to see you again for all the colour and excitement of Summer horseracing at CCR. We also race on Sunday - It’s family fun day and kids go free!

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.

CITY SELECTIONS Lucky Shake has been running consistently well, finishing third on her last four starts, but she may prove vulnerable against rivals who boast a less exposed profile. With that in mind, the vote goes to COTAI GREY, who is likely to step forward on what he has achieved to date following a gelding operation after his third start at Nottingham. Freyabella and Fiji Gold appeal most of the remainder.

SECOND RACE 6.50

THE ESSEX EX BOXERS ASSOCIATION E.E.B.A HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) about FIVE FURLONGS for three yrs old Total race value £5527 Owners Prize Money. 1st £1835, 2nd £917, 3rd £459, 4th £251, 5th £240, 6th £240, 7th £240, 8th £240. (Penalty Value £2322) CITY SELECTIONS OUTCAST won a novice event over C&D in February and the daughter of Outstrip showed signs of a return to form when fourth at Lingfield in June, finishing behind Lucky Ava (second) and Campachoochoo (third). She was dropped 2lb since that effort and the return to this course might yield some improvement, which could see her reverse that form. Porfin may enter the reckoning now dropped back to 5f.

Stewards Note: LUCKY AVA: Following its run on 23/7/2021 it was reported that the horse would prefer a slower surface.

Most of these arrive with questions marks against them, so this looks a good opportunity for OUTCAST to add to her earlier C&D victory given she should be all the sharper for her recent Lingfield fourth after PLAY SMARTER a break. Fellow C&D scorer Campachoochoo rates the chief threat now she gets back on polytrack, with Porfin appealing as the pick of the remainder.

Dourado was disappointing at Epsom last month, after a string of consistent efforts, but he could bounce back with the application of a first-time visor. Bint Australia could benefit from a drop in trip having not run up to scratch on his last couple of starts.

RACE 3

NIBRAS SHADOW seems sure to benefit from returning to this 1m trip and is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick despite a second 5lb rise in the weights. Vasco Da Gama has slipped in the weights PLAY SMARTER and is feared most after his return to form at Windsor last week, with course-winner Greek Kodiac not ruled out back here either in refitted cheekpieces.

FOURTH RACE 7.50

THEWINNINGCONNECTIONSNETWORKING12TH AUGUSTNOVICEMEDIANAUCTIONSTAKES(CLASS5) about ONE MILE for novice three, four and five yrs old Total race value £6500 Owners Prize Money.1st £2774, 2nd £1386, 3rd £694, 4th £346.(Penalty Value £3510) Weights raised 1lb and paragraphs 27 to 31 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

CITY SELECTIONS Sir Michael Stoute boasts a 24% strike rate with three-year-olds at this venue over the last five years and SUNRISE VALLEY looks poised to add another win to the tally. The filly has only found an unbeaten colt too strong and she may take the world of beating, with Ryan Moore in the saddle for the first time. Marie Paradis wasn’t disgraced on debut and she may build on that, while Mr Fustic also has a squeak.
