TRAINERS TO WATCH
IAIN JARDINE looks set to land the Edinburgh Gin Trainers Championship, already saddling 9 winners at Musselburgh Once again, he brings a strong hand here and has seven changes and at least one success looks likely. TIM EASTERBY found success at York on Saturday and has saddles six winners in the last 14 days. The fact that he sends just one up north today could tell the story so keep a keen eye on Albegone in the 2.50 KARL BURKE sits just one victory behind in the Championship so Princess Alex could spring a surprise in the feature

Today's opener is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 49 to 68 and is to be ridden by amateur jockeys' only In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.
Selling Stakes exist as an outlet for connections to sell their horses. Any horse that wins a seller, such as this one mile, four and a half furlongs contest for three-year-olds to five-year-olds, is automatically put up for public auction in the Winners’ Enclosure at the end of the race and goes to the highest bidder. Make sure to head that way after the race as the auction is usually well worth seeing!
This is a five furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 53 to 72. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 65 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 60
This is a two miles handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70 Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating, this is regularly reassessed A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.
This is a seven furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards fillies and mares which have been rated from 71 to 90 Like most handicaps on the Flat, this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage.
The penultimate race is a seven furlongs race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60 Like all handicaps on today’s card this means that should a horse rated 55 take part they would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 50
4:55 THE WATCH ON RACING TV HANDICAP STAKES
Our finale is a five furlongs handicap race has been designed for three-year-olds and upwards which are rated between 46 and 52 However, horses officially rated in excess of 52 are also eligible to take part The conditions of this race stipulate that the maximum weight to be carried by a horse rated 52 would be 9st 9lb, so should a horse rated 54 be entered to run, they would be asked to carry 2lb more than the top weight – 9st 11lb

NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 10 Blinkers worn first time by No 3. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 1, 6, 9. Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Royal Duke (GB), 6-1 Ski Angel (GB), Cuban Rock (GB), 8-1 Crack The Kode (IRE), Earn Your Stripes (GB), 9-1 Mrs Bagerran (IRE), 18-1 Sixcor (GB), 20-1 Whiskey Priest (IRE), Hard Nut (IRE), 66-1 Mary Ellen Best (GB)
Claimer Rhys Elliott has struck up a good partnership with ROYAL DUKE, who had several of these in behind when successful over C&D 12 days ago and he’s fancied to follow up Cuban Rock was better than the result in that race and is entitled to finish closer to the selection this time, with Crack The Kode also of interest.

At every race meeting at Musselburgh there are three specially qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action During a race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend a casualty in the same response time as the Medical Teams responsible for the welfare of the Jockeys. The third vet is based at the Stable Yard where a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race. It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the ground This does not reflect on the severity of an injury, but allows the vet so privacy and the horse the opportunity, in a calm environment, to ma a recovery Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erec around a fallen horse.
