ON BEHALF OF THE DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS AND STAFF, I AM DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU BACK TO NEWTON ABBOT FOR OUR FOURTEENTH FIXTURE Our ground staff together with a couple of contractors, have been working on the track since the meeting of 26 May in very tough conditions.

The course has been mowed and baled. Scarification and decompaction relief and then spring harrowed with further scarification and finally direct drilled with 100% rye grass.

All credit to the team for their outstanding work. The track looks a real picture ready for a good days racing today.

I would like to thank all the Owners with us today continuing to keep their horses in training through this pandemic and beyond.

Whilst we have a crowd on racedays, it has not been possible to have the crowd we deserve. We still have some restrictions 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 with the NHS. Lastly it has not been possible to service all our bars and outlets due to unavailable staff some Covid related issues or other reasons.

I would like to thank all our sponsors today: The Racing Partnership (TRP), Talk Tidy Marketing, Attheraces, Louisa Robinson and her family. Newton Abbot wishes Bob Robinson a very happy birthday and hope he and his family enjoy their day with us.

Our next fixture is on Monday 6 September with the first race at 14.10pm. Entry to the Racecourse will remain ticket only and bought from our ticketing system on our website www.newtonabbotracing.com.

Best wishes

LAST MEETING REVIEW |SATURDAY 21SY AUGUST 2021

3

1

It was a real varied day at our last meeting with a whole variety of trainers, jockeys and owners making their way into the winner’s enclosure.

With 3 out of the 7 races being won by the favourite, I am sure a lot of people went home with a smile.

Kicking off what was another exciting day of racing here at Newton Abbot we had a very well fancied runner in the Jon Hearne Memorial Novices’ Hurdle. Chez Hans continued Paul Nicholls’ dominance here and extended his lead in the trainers championship and trained 13th winner of the season. A 20-length winner at odds of 1/7, amateur jockey Ben Bromley will not get many easier winners than this in his career, as this horse continued his winning streak to make it 5 in a row.

The second race on the card was the feature and Philip Hobbs teamed up with his usual suspect Tom O’Brien as Umndeni landed the Tzora Treble Up Handicap Hurdle. Despite not being found in the betting, he was another easy winner and stormed down

4

the home straight to land the feature race in style by 10 lengths at 15/2.

Litterale Ci was the one the market came for at 9/4 5 but he was no match for the winner on the day, who found a lot when shaken up round the home turn and has subsequently been raised 9lb for this impressive performance.

We seemed to have a theme of horses winning with ease at the last meeting and the third race was the most extreme case of this. A 27-length winner, Diligent got the job done for favourite backers at 3/1 but that looked a massive price considering how easy he put the Paul Sherriff Happy Retirement Handicap Chase to bed. Kieren

2 - UMNDENI

Buckley made full use of his 7lb claim and always kept this horse handy after taking the lead at the second fence and didn’t see another rival go past the whole race. He went further clear two from home and it will be interesting to see what he can deliver next time out.

The Detroit Red Treble Up Handicap Hurdle shaped up to be a very competitive race won by the Kim Bailey-trained Shinobi at 9/2. Another front runner who got the job done at the last meeting, David Bass made all on his mount but wasn’t given an easy time in the closing stages as Spredek came from the back to make a last-ditch effort to cause an upset but always looked held, despite the winner making a mistake at the last hurdle. A game winner who appreciated the drop back in trip.

The fifth race on the card had only the five runners but only three of them made it home as the favourite Rooster Cogburn was a faller and Tikkinthebox unseated his rider. This left the race wide-open and Casa Tall took full advantage to win by two lengths in the Easily Pleased What A Legend Handicap Chase. Held

up in last and badly hampered by the faller at the first, Casa Tall always was travelling the strongest throughout the race and after being nudged along two out, he found plenty under pressure to go clear by 3-lengths on the run in and kept on gamely.

Another winning favourite on the day, Ragamuffin got Sam Twiston-Davies on the scoresheet at 15/8. Like many of the other winning on the day, he was ridden prominently and led the start of the race before getting headed after the fourth. He didn’t look like the winner after 3 out but when Sam Twiston-Davies started pushing the emergency button, he responded well and went clear 2 out before stumbling at the last but won with ease to go and win by 10-lengths. Another comfortable victory on the day.

The final race of what was another thrilling day of racing here was the Watcombe Heights Treble Up Novices’ Handicap Chase won by Mister Tickle from the Gary Moore stable. Given a confident ride by 5lb claimer Niall Houlihan, he made all after a sound jumping performance to go away and win by 7 lengths. Another winner from the front, so that could be the key to success again today.

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.

one or two hold stronger claims

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.

PLAY SMARTER

This looks a golden chance for BEHOLDEN to get off the mark over hurdles at the fourth time of asking. Aldrich Bay has quite a few fair efforts to his name on the Flat so it’s possible he could a threat if taking to this new discipline. Blood Eagle looks best of the rest.
