Cheltenham Racecard - The Showcase - Saturday 24th October 2020

THE SHOWCASE SATURDAY SATURDAY 24 OCTOBER 2020

Saint Calvados, winner of the Randox Health Handicap Chase in 2019

TAP INTO REMARKABLE

THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

We are thrilled that Jump racing is back at Cheltenham Racecourse and we enjoyed a fantastic day of sport yesterday.

Although it won’t have the same feel as a traditional race meeting, it is fantastic that the sport is able to continue and we are pleased to welcome owners to watch their horses run up the famous Cheltenham Hill.

We will, of course, be missing a buzz from the familiar Cheltenham crowd and look forward to when we are able to open our gates to our loyal fans once it is safe to do so. Although you are unable to be with us to watch the racing on course please do enjoy the show that the ITV racing team will be putting on over both days.

We have a fantastic seven race card on offer today, with The Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap Chase (Class 2) taking the feature spot this afternoon. As ever, we would like to thank all our sponsors for their continued support, Masterson Holdings, Matchbook, Pertemps Network, Ryman and the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars.

Finally, thank you to you all for your support over the past few months.

We look forward to more quality sport gracing our course this year and hope to be able to welcome you all back to the Home of Jump Racing one day soon.

RACECARD EXPLAINED 1. FORM

EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

Look C = D = CD =

out for Letters: Has won at this course Has won over this distance Has won over this distance at this course BF = Was a beaten favourite MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P

= New racing season = Missed racing season = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race F = Horse fell U = Rider unseated R = Horse refused to race CO = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse B = Horse was brought down S = Horse slipped r = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race d = Disqualified Bold form figures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

How the experts rate the horse’s chances: 2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race.

5. JOCKEY Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

OTHER USEFUL DETAILS 6. Owner’s colours worn by the Jockey 7. Saddlecloth number 8. Horse’s name 9. Days since the horse last run 10. Horse’s age 11. Jockey’s weight (stone and Ibs) 12.

BETTING EXPLAINED — Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number.

— Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

— ‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

— ‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed.

It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

— Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

— Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online.

Each option offers a different experience.

— Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

A DAY AT THE RACES EXPLAINED — Explore and familiarise yourself with the racecourse.

— Find out the time of the first race in the racecard. Races are about 30 minutes apart and provide a natural focus for your day.

— Visit the Parade Ring around 20 minutes before each race. This is your chance to see the horses up-close. Look for signs of their fitness and attitude. A glossy coat, pricked ears and alert nature are considered good.

— Watch at least one race by the railings, as close to the finishing post as you can get.

RACEHORSES EXPLAINED — Jump horses are generally sturdier and bigger than Flat horses.

Key attributes are endurance and strength.

— Flat horses are lighter and more elegant for shorter, faster races.

— They use a different set of muscles, so muscle definition varies just like in human athletes.

— On average, Jump horses race - or ‘travel’ - at 30mph.

— Flat horses are faster at 35mph and the best exceed 40mph during a race.

ALLMANKIND was the best of these last season and remains with plenty of potential, so should prove hard to catch if on his game. Botox Has has a bit of work to do with the seleciton but is still open to improvement, while Anna Bunina is also worth close inspection getting the fillies’ allowance.

It didn’t take long for PILEON to attain a useful level of form over hurdles, and in receipt of 5lb from the 3 previous chase winners, he can pick up where he left off last term switched to the larger obstacles. Southfield Stone’s runner-up effort in Grade 2 company is the best form on offer over fences and, representing a yard in sparkling form, is the obvious threat.

PLAY SMARTER

A really good handicap. NEVILLE’S CROSS had lots in hand at Hereford and may be capable of defying a double-figure rise with further progress very much on the cards. I’d Better Go Now is another who almost certainly has more to offer and rates a big threat, while Flinck leaves the impression 3m will suit and is also respected.

Honest Vic and course-specialist Tobefair also make the shortlist.

STREETS OF DOYEN has been in rampant form in Ireland of late and boasts excellent claims in his bid to defend his unbeaten record in Britain (landed a Bumper at Ayr on debut). Minella Encore makes appeal after a winning start for Dr Richard Newland, while Polish has the ability to take a hand if he can step forward from this encouraging reappearance.
