ON BEHALF OF THE DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS AND STAFF, I AM DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU TO NEWTON ABBOT FOR OUR SIXTEENTH FIXTURE OF THE 2021 SEASON. Whilst we have a crowd on racedays, it has not been possible to have the crowd we would like. We still have restrictions in place, with protocols for our elite athletes, the Jockeys, with 2m distancing and the Marquee together with the Weighing Room complex.

In addition, we have no Course Enclosure for the remainder of the season due to us accommodating the NHS. Lastly, it has not been possible to service all our bars and outlets due to unavailable staff, some with Covid-related issues or other reasons.

I would like to thank all our sponsors today: Jon Evans and a group of friends are sponsoring the first race in a memorial race for Steve Chapman.

The second race on the card is another memorial race sponsored by Viki Mills in memory of Mike McHugh.

The third and sixth races on the card are sponsored by Devondale Electrical, who are celebrating their 40th Anniversary. We thank them for their continued support.

Other sponsors throughout the season are The Racing Partnership (TRP), At The Races and Sky Sports Racing.

Our next fixture is on Monday 27 September, with the first race at 1.00pm.

Gates will open at 11.00am.

Entry to the Racecourse will remain pre-booked only, with no tickets available on the gate.

Tickets can be bought from our ticketing system on our website www.newtonabbotracing.com I hope you have a very enjoyable day with us.

Best wishes PATRICK MASTERSON MANAGING DIRECTOR

LAST MEETING REVIEW | MONDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER 2021

1

We started September with the first of three scheduled fixtures for the month as spectators gathered to enjoy an intriguing afternoon of National Hunt racing.

Leading course trainer Paul Nicholls was double handed in the Happy Birthday Wayne Hockley Congratulations Class 2 Handicap Hurdle as four runners contested the biggest pot of the day. However, the champion trainer had to settle for minor honours as his more-fancied pair of Celestial Force and recent course runner-up Easyrun de Vassy proved no match for Paul Henderson’s Ballyegan Hero. Reverting back to hurdles in what was his first start over timber for the yard, the 10-year-old was prominent throughout the extended 3m 2f contest before extending nicely when asked by Nick Scholfield, eventually eased to win by just over three lengths.

Debra Hamer’s stable-star Tobefair returned after a seven-month absence to finish a distant fourth off a big weight, but he’s sure to improve for his first run of the campaign.

4

The seven-race card had earlier opened with a small but select field for the PKF Francis Clark 5 ‘National Hunt’ Novices’ Hurdle over 2m 2½f, which once again saw a Nicholls favourite head to post in the shape of two-time course winner Kilmington Rose. Having landed a hat-trick here earlier in the year, the mare returned to finish runner-up in handicap company over slightly further last time out but made no mistake this time around in beating market rival Our Colossus with seemingly a bit in hand under Harry Cobden. Expect to see this daughter of Presenting back in the winners’ enclosure sooner rather than later.

3 The Racing Partnership Novices’ Handicap Chase that followed certainly divided opinion in the build up to the race, with all three runners attracting support at varying stages prior to the off. However, it was the outsider of the field in Helford River that would eventually get the verdict on the track under Brendan Powell, with the Tizzard’s imposing seven-year-old making the most of his lowly weight to score on his first attempt over fences at the main expense of Worcester-scorer Wagner. The mare Nikap ran with plenty of promise back in third.

Following a spin on the Flat for his new yard, Macho Mover made his return to hurdling a winning one by taking the 2m 2½f Selling Hurdle on the card for Olly Murphy.

Previously a dual hurdle winner over in Ireland, the six-year-old appeared to be the first of the quartet in trouble rounding the home bend but responded well to David England’s urgings to lead approaching the last and kept on strongly to beat the Nicholls-trained Secret Potion by eight or so lengths.

The Racing Partnership Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase that followed saw a much closer finish as O’Faolains Lad and his partner Thomas Doggrell eventually came out on top following a ding-dong battle with Achy Breaky Heart and Mitchell Bastyan up the home straight. A blunder at the last wasn’t enough to stop the winner and trainer Richenda Ford may well be eying a return to the track before the year is out.

The final race saw leading course jockey Harry Cobden pick up his second winner of the afternoon in the bumper aboard Deal Em High for Debra Hamer’s Carmarthenshire yard. The victors narrowly held on to beat the father-daughter partnership of Jimmy and Bryony Frost, who’s Gorcombe Moonshine lost little in his neck defeat.

Thirty or so minutes earlier, Snug As A Bug won as cosily as her name suggests in the 2m 1f Racing Partnership Mares’ Handicap Hurdle for trainer Sue Gardner. The favourite never looked in any danger and was steered to a comfortable eight-length success by Sean Houlihan, with Karannelle having to settle for the runner-up spot.

STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

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 nonhandicaps 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.

BLACK ANTHEM can be forgiven a recent tame effort over hurdles as his previous outing was a positive one, so a chance is taken on him to make a winning return to chasing in a tricky event. Fact of The Matter strikes as a danger dropping in grade, while Joey Steel is an obvious player if he applies himself under pressure.

PLAY SMARTER

SERGEANT proved a different proposition making his handicap debut from just out of the weights when beating 13 rivals over C&D last month and the manner of victory suggests he can defy a 9lb rise. Easkey Lad arrives in top form so rates the main threat ahead of Flamenco de Kerser, who can improve again now handicapping.
