OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

Sponsor Form Comment

Timeform Rating

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.

10 Year Anniversary

We are celebrating our 10th anniversary tonight and the journey we have been on over those years. The racecourse opened its doors on 11th January 2015 and has seen some of the top horses in the world performing here before going on to Group race success around the world.

Multiple Group 1 winning filly, Highfield Princess, won our Listed Queen Charlotte Stakes as well as the Group 1, 1000 Guineas, winning filly, Billesdon Brook. The Listed Chelmer Stakes launched the career of Believing before she progressed to being one of the best sprinters in the world and selling for 3,000,000 Guineas. The Cardinal Stakes last year saw Capulet, who finished third go on to win the Listed Dee Stakes at Chester.

The list goes on and on but we would like to thank you for your support over the last 10 years and, we hope, over the years to come.

HIS TO RY

Essex County Showground

1958 - 2002

The Essex County Showground has a rich history rooted in agriculture and community. Established in 1793, the Essex Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture & Industry laid the groundwork for the county’s agricultural traditions. The ﬁrst Essex Agricultural Society Show was held in Chelmsford on June 15, 1858, before becoming an annual event that toured the county.

In 1958, marking the show’s centenary, a permanent home was secured when the Society purchased 158 acres of land in Great Leighs. In 1997, entrepreneur and former showjumper John Holmes acquired the showground, hosting the Essex Show until its conclusion in 2000. Holmes then embarked on an ambitious transformation, creating a £30 million, mile-long all-weather racetrack on the site.

Today, as Chelmsford City Racecourse, the venue continues to honour its legacy as a community cornerstone, blending its historic roots with modern outreach and engagement.

2015

The racecourse opened its doors to the public, with the ﬁrst race being won by the Godolphin owned Tryster, trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by Adam Kirby.

First major music concert, when Madness played after racing to a crowd of more than 10,000

The racecourse quickly established a reputation for some of the most generous prize money in British racing and an attendance of more than 80,000

2016

World-class entertainment with concerts from Simply Red, Rick Astley and Jools Holland among others.

Staged the prestigious rearranged Greenham meeting following the decision to abandon the original Newbury ﬁxture. This card featured three Group races and was incredibly well-received by the racing community.

2017

A trailblazing year with quality racing and great entertainment such as Boyzone.

Chelmsford City’s annual Ladies Day was a sell out, becoming a focal part of the Essex social calendar

2018

Staged 63 ﬁxtures with a massive £5.2 million in prize money, this included the UK’s most valuable evening meeting in history and Chelmsford City Racecourse’s ﬁrst ever Listed race, the Queen Charlotte Stakes.

Chelmsford City quickly broke this record just two months later with an even more valuable meeting which featured the inaugural running of the Chelmsford City Cup worth an astonishing £100,000

2019

Addition of another Listed race, the Chelmer Stakes

Co-hosted our ﬁrst music festival, Clockstock, in partnership with the legendary Clockwork Orange. This sell-out festival saw 60 of dance music’s most iconic DJs and acts including Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, and Todd Terry come to the racecourse and deliver undoubtedly the biggest party in Essex.

2020

What looked to be a sensational sixth year at Chelmsford City Racecourse, like most the racecourse found itself disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

The racecourse prevailed becoming one of the ﬁrst to return with ‘behind closed doors’ racing, managing to successfully stage the majority of its calendar as well as preparing to open as one of the South East’s largest vaccination centres in the new year.

The Chelmer Stakes headlined the racing calendar, with course specialist Sean Levey and Happy Romance claiming victory in the thrilling six-furlong sprint. The racecourse also brought world-class music to Essex, hosting Example’s ﬁrst UK performance since the pandemic in September 2021

The Cardinal Stakes, the racecourse’s premier event, featured a prestigious Conditions race with a remarkable £100,000 prize fund Additionally, to commemorate Racing Together Community Day, the racecourse proudly supported the Eden Project’s Carers Week, raising awareness of unpaid carers and the challenges they face. 2022

Chelmsford City Racecourse hosted its inaugural Remembrance Raceday on Armistice Day, honouring the Armed Forces in partnership with the Royal British Legion. Over £4,000 was raised for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, marking a memorable day of tribute and racing. 2023

2024 Present

Chelmsford City Racecourse reached new heights with enhanced races, increased prize money, and record-breaking success. Good Friday racing in 2024 set a new benchmark, achieving the highest ticket sales for any racing event that year.

CITY SELECTIONS

Spirit Of Jura would hold leading claims judged on her runner-up effort at Wolverhampton, but a subsequent fourth at that venue leaves her with something to find. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on WAR AND LOVE, who looked in need of the experience when finishing third on her debut at Lingfield last week. Seconds Count filled the runner-up spot ahead of the selection that day and she should also feature.

Seconds Count can edge out recent winner Lovesick for third.

CITY SELECTIONS

CARLTON hasn’t looked back since joining the James Owen team and a fourth consecutive victory over C&D could be in the ofﬁng. A 5lb penalty for the ﬁve-year-old’s emphatic victory on Thursday is unlikely to prevent another bold bid and he’s taken to repel the down-in-grade Tradesman. The son of Mastercraftsman arrives on the back of a solid third at Southwell and he warrants respect. Albert Lasker is also noted.

CARLTON has thrived since joining the James Owen yard, overcoming a lack of pace in the race to complete a C&D hat-trick on Thursday, and he looks to hold leading claims under a penalty. Sullivan Bay also arrives in good heart and could be the main danger, with 4-time course winner Tradesman completing the shortlist.

Hayley Turner celebrates her historic 1000th win at Chelmsford City Racecourse, becoming the ﬁrst female jockey in the UK to achieve this milestone.

CITY SELECTIONS

Rising Force occupied the runner-up berth over C&D two days ago and provided this quick turnaround doesn’t pose him any problems, he ought to go close off an unchanged rating. However, RAVENSBOURNE gets the nod. Michael Keady’s four-year-old outran big odds to make the frame at Newcastle earlier in the month and was kindly dropped 1lb. With Cieren Fallon booked, she may be the one to beat. Mashaan is the pick of the remainder

A CELEBRATION OF WOMEN ON AND OFF THE TRACK

Racing has long been considered a men’s sport, but in recent years, it is the women who have truly taken the reins, and rightly so. Ladies Day at the races has historically been synonymous with grace, style, and a celebration of women in fashion and status. What once served as a welcoming day for women has now evolved into a platform where they shine both in their attire and in the saddle.

Fast forward to 2025, and the spotlight is no longer solely on the elegant attendees; it is equally shared with the fearless and talented female jockeys who compete at the highest levels of the sport.

To honour this evolution, in 2024, Chelmsford City Racecourse proudly launched a multi-channel campaign that showcases the remarkable journeys of some of the most inspirational women on and off the track.

CHARLOTTE BREW

The Trailblazer

Among these trailblazers is Essex born Charlotte Brew, who made history in 1977 as the ﬁrst female jockey to ride in the Grand National. Her courage and determination broke barriers and set the stage for future generations. In her earlier years, Charlotte competed in point-to-point events at the Essex County Showground, the very site that would later evolve into Chelmsford City Racecourse as we know it today

For our 2024 Ladies Day, Chelmsford City Racecourse was proud to collaborate with the renowned national brand Fenwick to celebrate remarkable women making a difference in our county. From inspiring cancer survivors to dedicated carers, we had the privilege of recognising their incredible contributions with thoughtful gifts as a token of our appreciation.

HAYLEY TURNER

The Pioneer

Another icon is Hayley Turner OBE, a trailblazer in British horseracing who recently celebrated her historic 1,000th win right here at Chelmsford City Racecourse. Riding Tradesman to victory, Hayley became the ﬁrst female jockey in the UK to achieve this remarkable milestone.

ALL FEMALE RACE

Ladies Day 2025

To celebrate the fearless and talented female jockeys competing at the highest levels of the sport, Chelmsford City Racecourse is proud to announce an all-female jockey race as a highlight of this year’s Ladies Day This special event underscores our commitment to showcasing the incredible skill and determination of women in racing.

Our Commitment to Horsemen in 2025

Since opening in 2015, the racecourse has always had an intense passion for supporting the owners, trainers, jockeys and stable staff who make our sport happen. In 2025, the racecourse will again commit in excess of £3m prize money featuring some of the most valuable Listed races in the country as well as topping the tables for a range of Class 5 and 6, highlighting our commitment to supporting racing at every level.

We also recognise that support goes beyond prize money and we are excited to upgrade facilities, continue to offer our facilities to trainers free-of-charge, improve communication and extensively support industry charities including Retraining of Racehorse (RoR) and Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF).

CO MMUNIT Y

Since opening our doors we have focused on building solid community relationships, through events, fundraising, and volunteering for Racing Together’s Community Day. Our engagement includes working with local schools, children, vulnerable groups and the Armed forces, offering opportunities for people to experience racing.

Partnering with Racing to School, we’ve hosted educational days for over 180 children, and our family fun days have created lasting memories. These events have enabled the racecourse to support charities, donating over £33,000 to beneﬁciaries Help for Heroes, Havens Hospices and Essex & Herts Air Ambulance.

In our fourth year of hosting inclusive initiatives like Autism in Racing we’ve created experiences for vulnerable families, and in 2024 we held our second Remembrance raceday as part of our commitment to the Armed Forces. Since August 2023 we have proudly raised over £12,000 for the Armed Forces donating to the Royal British Legion and local charity Blesma.

Our community initiatives have been proudly recognised nationally, as ﬁnalists in the RCA Showcase Awards for Diversity & Inclusion and Racing Together Community categories in 2023 and 2024

BROOKLYN NINE NINE is most effective on the all-weather and having run on strongly to score at this level at Southwell last month, he has a big chance of following up off just 3lb higher, assuming he handles switching to Polytrack. Similar comments apply to We Never Stop, who has held his form well since being gelded and rates another key player. Sevensees carries useful form over from his time in Ireland is respected on debut for Stuart Williams.

CITY SELECTIONS

A winner over 5f here in November, the pacey My Turn Now should make this a good test if settling better than he did on his most recent start. However, a strong tempo can assist GLOBAL EFFORT, who posted an encouraging third-placed ﬁnish back over this trip at Wolverhampton on Tuesday. The quick turnaround suggests he can build on that effort to score here. Starshot is also noted with cheekpieces swapped for a ﬁrst-time tongue-tie and visor

CITY SELECTIONS

BERNIE THE BEAR had the reopposing Jesse Luc (fourth) just under two lengths behind when denied by the narrowest of margins at Southwell last time out and he can go one better on this occasion. A relatively promising fourth when keeping on from off the pace at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, Mumcat is another to consider if able to break a bit sharper.

Linda Perratt’s BERNIE THE BEAR is on a long losing run but holds the edge on the form of his good Southwell second last week so looks the way to go. Mumcat hinted at a revival when fourth at Wolverhampton only four days ago and heads the dangers, with in-form duo You Are Everything and Jesse Luc also in the mix.

CITY SELECTIONS

A creditable third when looking to complete a double at Newcastle last time out, CUT TO THE CHASE has been in generally consistent form of late and a return to this track should suit as he looks to get back to winning ways. That may be at the main expense of Lord Danielson, who is turned out again quickly after landing a C&D apprentice handicap on Thursday. Fantasy Navigator and Salaamaat cannot be ruled out either

CUT TO THE CHASE remains unexposed as a sprinter and can make it 2 wins from his last 3, continuing his yard’s excellent run of form. Things didn’t pan out for Poetic Jack last time and he can bounce back, while Nordic Glory should be in the mix once again.
