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.

ROBINSVILLE: Following its run on 18/2/2025 it was reported that the horse made a respiratory noise.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Lightonthewing (IRE), 10-3 Lock Out (IRE), 4-1 Celtic Fortune (IRE), 11-2 I See The Sea (IRE), 7-1 Robinsville (GB), 28-1 Hey Bud (GB), 33-1 Kadex (FR), 100-1 Bellamy’s Grey (GB)

On the back of an all-the-way hurdles success at Chepstow, LIGHTONTHEWING may well follow up returned to the larger obstacles. He was successful over C&D on his sole previous chase start at this course last March and remains on a good mark. Lock Out has to be respected on the back of a good effort at Hereford and he is second choice ahead of Celtic Fortune and I See The Sea.

SIAM PARK is bred to make a better chaser and that already appears to be the case judged on his solid second on debut in this sphere at Taunton where he pulled nicely clear of the rest with the winner He should prove a tough nut to crack with improvement on the cards. Paddy In The Caddy is holding his form well and should give anothergood account, while Centara needsto get back on track now switched to fences but it’s by no means impossible that he’ll do just that.

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Wincanton Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team Qualiﬁed paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
