Famously friendly, Kelso’s racegoers are particularly passionate about their jump racing and first time visitors to the Ladbrokes Go North Weekend, supported by The Racing Post, are unlikely to be stuck for conversation as they gather around the parade ring for a view of the horses.
While the hurdle track follows the roughly oval alignment of the original Flat racing track, steeplechasing was accommodated for the first time in 1883 with the inclusion of three small fields at the top of the racecourse, one of which was regularly left as a stretch of plough. Despite reverting to a more conventional turf surface in the 20th Century, the steeplechase track continues to offer a stiff test which has been used successfully to prepare horses for win and placed efforts in the Grand National at Aintree.
Kelso Racecourse is proud to offer an aspirational race programme for horses in the north of Britain, including three valuable race series finals today We are indebted to Ladbrokes for their generous sponsorship of six races today, as well as to The Racing Post for their support for the three days of racing at Musselburgh, Kelso and Carlisle. We are especially grateful to the connections of all today’s runners – thank you for bringing your horses to Kelso
Finally, the Directors of Kelso Racecourse would like to extend a warm welcome to all racegoers present today Whether this is a first visit, or one of many regular outings, we wish you the best of fortune and look forward to seeing you again soon.

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.

TRAINER & JOCKEY FORM
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

This sort of test looks a minimum for Your Own Story nowadays but a positive ride in a first-time visor can see him go well at the foot of the weights Pull Again Green completes the shortlist.

This is wide open but the vote goes to Sandy Thomson’s low-mileage I AM MAX, who took a step forward when runner-up at Haydock last time and can continue his progress after another break here. Sayva is another improving sort and he heads the list of dangers, although Ballyfort, Achnamara, Ridin Solo and The Jeweller’s Pet also need factoring into this competitive handicap
