Thank you for joining us for the Family Fun Day at Kelso Racecourse.

We’re looking forward to seeing racegoers of all ages this afternoon, including many who will be visiting us for the first time, so we’ve arranged for members of the Scottish Racing Academy to be on hand to answer your questions in the Family Zone, located in the marquee adjacent to the final hurdle. The Family Zone offers additional entertainment for young racegoers including a face painter, stilt-walker, free games, and a chance to ride Betty – the SRA’s mechanical horse simulator

There will be entertainment in the Parade Ring too, before the first race, where a number of jockey-led teams will compete against the clock in a Wheelchair Challenge that has been organised by Rhona Elliot to raise funds for the Injured Jockeys Fund (supporting Graham Lee) and the MS Borders Branch. Please give generously if you can.

Today’s feature event is the Ray & Anita Green Chasing 500 Winners Handicap Steeplechase, which has attracted a high-quality field including Ray Green’s very own Traprain Law – one of two opportunities to claim that remarkable 500th winner

We are indebted to Ray Green for his many runners at Kelso and his long-standing support for this race in particular We are grateful to the connections of all today’s runners, in each of the seven races, for choosing to run at Kelso – you help us to provide a fabulous spectacle.

We are very appreciative of the support provided by today’s race sponsors which, in addition to Ray Green, include: Simpson’s Malt, Justin & Susan Greig, Parks UK (Toyota dealers at St Boswells) and Racing TV

Have a great day at the races, we hope that you enjoy your afternoon.

How to Bet

1. Select your horse and note its name and racecard number

2. Choose your bet – ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are the two most common types:

• ‘To win’ is for your horse to come first

• ‘Each-way’ is when you place two bets in one: one for your horse to come first, the other for it to be placed. Therefore £2 each-way = £4 total bet

• What qualifies as a ‘place’ depends on the number of runners: between two and four runners - first place only; between five and seven runners - first and second place; eight runners and over - first three places; 16 runners and over (handicaps only) - first four places

• The place part of the bet will be paid out at a fraction of the odds, usually a quarter or a fifth - this varies depending on the bookmaker, so check if you are unsure!

3. Decide the amount, also known as the stake that you are comfortable to bet

4. Choose your outlet and place your bet e.g. “£2 win on number three” or “£2 each-way on number six”.

5. If your horse has won, wait to hear “weighed in” over the public address system and then go and collect any winnings!

6. Got so swept up you forgot to collect your cash? There are details of how to collect winning slips after the raceday on our terms and conditions page near the back of the racecard.

SHARED has won first time up for the last 2 seasons and can repeat the feat here. He ran well in a stronger event at Warwick when last seen in May and has untapped potential over this sort of trip Famous Liss is potentially a big improver now handicapping up in distance and is strongly respected on his return, while Faithfulflyer should go well again here.

DOUBLE POWERFUL was improving fast when last seen and he comes back from 6 months off for an in-form stable, so he’s preferred to Dalileo, who ran with credit at Perth recently Summergrounds is also likely to give a good account

SAFETY INFORMATION

A day at Kelso Racecourse should be great fun for everyone; nobody wants an injury or an incident to spoil their day. So, when push comes to shove, we need to make sure that there isn’t any pushing or shoving.

The racecourse team prepares carefully for each event and we take every precaution to ensure that the site is as safe as is practical. However, we also need some help from you – to take responsibility for your own safety and to respect the safety and comfort of those around you. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a brief list of precautions that we’d like all visitors to consider:

Alcohol & Substance Abuse

Fortunately very few accidents occur at Kelso Racecourse, but those that do are most likely to be relatively minor incidents involving someone who has had too much to drink Quite simply: you’ll be safer if you drink less alcohol. On the rare occasion that we receive a customer complaint, it’s quite likely to be linked to the behaviour of someone who’s had one too many So please drink responsibly and encourage your friends to stay within their limits

Any incident involving substance abuse will be dealt with by Police Scotland.

Slips, Trips, Falls

We’ve commenced a series of developments at the racecourse and we’re gradually making the site more accessible for all, with smoother surfaces and ramps where we have differences in gradient

Please note that the site is not flat and there may be differences in levels, particularly between old surfaces, and surfaces which have recently been renewed. Please take care of yourselves and mind where you walk Don’t try to run faster than your legs can go, even if you think your bookmaker might be packing away for the day

Fences, Walls & Barriers

The fences, walls and temporary barriers located on the racecourse are intended to segregate people into specific areas This may include segregating people from horses or people from sensitive or hazardous equipment

Please do not attempt to climb over, sit on or stand on any barriers – regardless of whether they appear to be permanent or temporary features – they are not designed to take a person’s weight

Horses

Horses are big and run very fast; hopefully yours will run fastest of all. Please pay attention when in close proximity to the horses: stay on the public side of any barriers (close to the track or horse walk areas) and do not sit on or lean over barriers near to the horses The running rails are designed to encourage the horses to stay on the track –but they will not withstand a horse’s weight if they hit them, nor a jockey’s if he is thrown over them – so be prepared to move if a horse is behaving erratically

Fires

We’re proud of Kelso’s reputation for providing a warm welcome and the unique feature provided by the real fires that we light in the listed Grandstand and in the log-burning braziers surrounding the Parade Ring.

Our Fires have no brains – so please use your own. Fires are hot and there is a danger of burning yourself if you touch the fire or the surrounding metalwork Please do not put anything in the fires or fireplaces

Children

We welcome many children to Kelso races. Although we don’t consider them to be particularly dangerous, we do ask that all children are appropriately supervised by a responsible adult – who should be particularly mindful of all the considerations above
