Welcome to Ludlow Races and our Charity Day which this year is in aid of RABI.
They work tirelessly to uplift and support farming people through practical, financial and emotional assistance, touching lives of thousands of people At Ludlow Racecourse we have a close relationship with the farming community having a Farmers Day in October
And being a rural racecourse we have a lot of close ties with the agricultural community and appreciate the challenges farming has at present.
Unfortunately, we do not have many runners today, I suspect mostly driven by the dry weather, but the small field sizes appear a regular challenge to a lot of racecourses as seen by Exeter and Market Rasen recently. Frustrating as we do have a very comprehensive watering system now.
Hope you all have a good day’s racing
Best
Wishes,
Simon Sherwood (Managing Director/Clerk of the Course)

Stewards Note: PORTER IN THE PARK: Following its run on 25/11/2024 it was reported that the horse would prefer a quicker surface.

Race Summary:
KADO DE JOIE is a progressive youngster who’s well worth another chance to prove this mark isn’t beyond him having been left with too much to do at Wincanton. Porter In The Park can bounce back now returning to more suitable company after a break, with Mostly Sunny another to note having eased further in the weights.

HORSE WELFARE
“Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider” At Ludlow Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks as far as possible. We aim to deal quickly and humanely with injured horses and to maintain the highest quality of veterinary care We have three Equine Veterinary Surgeons in attendance at all meetings who are responsible for the welfare of all horses in action One Veterinary Surgeon follows the race in the centre of the course and can attend a horse with the same response time as the Paramedic teams responsible for the jockeys. It is our policy to erect screens around any injured horse requiring Veterinary attention on the racecourse. This is designed to provide privacy for the Veterinary Surgeons, the patient and connections Please do not assume the worst.
LUDLOW CLUB ROOM
The Ludlow Club Room on the ground floor of the Plymouth Stand is for the Exclusive use of the holders of Ludlow Annual Members Metal Badges and Ludlow Annual Members Guest Badges only.
COURSE CROSSINGS
In the interests of Safety would members of the public please note that when the order “Jockey Mount” is given they must clear the course ready for the horses leaving the paddock and going to the start.
VIEWING ON COURSE
Would all patrons please note that while any race is in progress no person is allowed on the course except Racecourse Ground Staff and First Aid Attendants. All other persons must stay behind the running rails. THIS INCLUDES OWNERS, TRAINERS, JOCKEYS, PRESS and PHOTOGRAPHERS.
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-handicap 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.
For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.
