Chelmsford City Racecard - Saturday 21st August

Ministry of Sound Classical Racenight SATURDAY 21st AUGUST 2021

Official Programme £3.00

Welcome

It’s Chelmsford City Cup and Ministry Of Sound Classical Night!

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse for one of our flagship fixtures of the year.

It has undoubtedly been a difficult time for all of us up and down the country and we’re delighted to be able to offer our customers a sense of normality once again. This is just our sixth raceday back with crowds since March 2020 so it’s been a while!

Whilst we are lucky to have plenty of outdoor space here, we do all need to continue to play our part in relation to the ongoing covid situation. As such, we would encourage you to continue with some good practices recommended at all racecourses as these can benefit you and fellow racegoers. Please wear a face mask at your discretion indoors in busier areas; continue to use the hand sanitisers available and please bear in mind good social distancing principles. The guidance around “hands, face, space, fresh air” remains important for us all. Thank you.

The seven scheduled races this evening have attracted 59 runners, and they’ll all be looking to win a share of the £70,000+ prize money pot that’s on offer. The feature event on our card is unquestionably race five at 8.00pm - the £30,000 “Chelmsford City Cup” stakes over seven furlongs.

12 talented runners are in the line-up for this elite-level handicap and it’s a really competitive contest.

Four of the runners have won here before over this exact distance and one of those, Richard Hughes’ Karibana, finished well to win a Class 3 race on his last visit here in May. Since then, he’s finished down the field in two top quality handicaps at Ascot, but he could easily bounce back tonight.

However, another course and distance winner, Roger Varian’s Jumaira Bay, might just be the one to beat. The four year old did not have a clear run but burst through at the finish to win here in June. Expect him to pounce again in the final stages and win the Cup. After the final race this evening we are thrilled to welcome back the Ministry of Sound Classical for what will no doubt be another storming performance of reimagined dance music. They’ll be on stage from around 9.15pm.

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

Our next fixture is on Thursday afternoon and it’s our re-scheduled Ladies Day 2021. This event goes from strength to strength and hopefully you already have your ticket. If so, we’ll see you again for all the colour, fashion and excitement of Summer horseracing at CCR. It’s going to be fabulous.

Timeform Rating

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

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 non-handicaps 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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

CITY SELECTIONS ACES ran on for fourth over a furlong shorter here and the extra furlong combined with a 1lb drop in ratings could be enough for Charlie Wallis’ charge to get back to winning ways.

Secret To Success has struggled on turf of late but is back to the same mark as when second over this trip at Kempton. She looks the main danger ahead of Vino Santo, who went close over this course and distance in May and is 2lb lower now.

PLAY SMARTER

Veteran ACES needs things to fall his way, but he usually plies his trade at a slightly better level than this, and with the return to 7f likely to suit, he looks the way to go. The return to the AW should see Secret To Success in a better light and she is feared most.

CITY SELECTIONS Femme Friendly had Hot Spell behind when opening her account at Windsor and could confirm that form on 7lb worse terms as she was over six lengths clear of her rival. Both are open to improvement, but might have to settle for minor honours behind GOLDILOCKS. Richard Hannon’s filly won a novice race in fine style at Newbury two starts ago and can be forgiven her latest effort when pitched into Listed company. Back in this grade and with Liam Browne’s 7lb claim, she could take some stopping.

FEMME FRIENDLY did it nicely at Windsor and this looks a good opportunity for her to strike again. Hot Spell showed promise behind the selection at Windsor and should get a bit closer now so she’s the main threat ahead of Goldilocks.

CITY SELECTIONS MANHATTANVILLE followed up a good win over 7f at Newcastle with an all-the-way success over this track and trip. Ed Dunlop’s uncomplicated colt could follow up in this.

Ernie’s Valentine struck in a Kempton nursery and has claims, but perhaps the biggest of the selection’s rivals could be Jilly Cooper. Mark Johnston’s filly had a change of riders at York last time but is reunited with Ben Curtis, who guided her to score at Hamilton two starts ago.

PLAY SMARTER

Tough to split these but it could be worth siding with JILLY COOPER, who got off the mark second time up at Hamilton in June, and with this step up in trip sure to suit, Mark Johnston’s charge is taken to make a winning handicap debut. Manhattanville rates an obvious threat bidding for a quick-fire hat-trick, ahead of Ernie’s Valentine.

THE BETSI GOLDEN MILE NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 4) (GBB RACE)

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

for novice two yrs old x Total race value £9000 Owners Prize Money. 1st £3840, 2nd £1920, 3rd £960, 4th £480. (Penalty Value £4860) Weights raised 3lb and paragraphs 27 to 31 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

CITY SELECTIONS CLAIM THE CROWN displayed plenty of promise when finishing third in what may prove to be a strong maiden at Newmarket earlier in the month. The son of Acclamation will be hard to beat with that experience now under his belt, although New Mission was well supported on his debut and better can be expected. Abbado and Outbreak are well-bred newcomers and any market support for either would have to be noted.

CLAIM THE CROWN proved easy to back but shaped with plenty of promise when third at Newmarket just over a fortnight ago. With improvement anticipated, Roger Varian’s charge could prove tough to beat. It would be no surprise to see New Mission a different proposition away from the mud so he heads up the dangers, ahead of an interesting newcomer in Outbreak.

CITY SELECTIONS BEDOUIN’S STORY was not disgraced in a pair of ultra-competitive mile handicaps on turf last month and the six-year-old could take plenty of stopping with his sights slightly lowered.

Bless Him returns to handicap company for the first time in more than a year and he must not be underestimated. Red Mirage remains unexposed and should appreciate the return to a synthetic surface, while Jumaira Bay also makes the shortlist.

CITY SELECTIONS An open handicap but a chance is taken on SECRET MOMENT, who should be suited by the return to this distance. The four-year-old is still a maiden but has hinted at some ability and remains unexposed on the all-weather, with a first-time tongue tie now applied. Vasco Da Gama showed more on his latest run at this track and is likely to be on the premises. Lafan is another to consider returning from a gelding operation, which could spark some improvement.

VASCO DA GAMA hasn’t been the easiest to catch right since coming to Britain, but he shaped better than the bare result when third over this C&D recently and will have every chance of opening his account on these shores if able to build on that.

CITY SELECTIONS PARIKARMA has posted some encouraging displays this season, including a recent second-placed effort at Nottingham. The four-year-old remains lightly raced on the all-weather and gets the vote to strike. Mahanakhon Power looks to be the chief danger to the selection and is suited by this trip. Star Approach returns after having a gelding operation, but will need to improve to threaten the places.
