Page 1


Welcome to Bath Racecourse!

On behalf of everyone at Bath Racecourse, I’m delighted to welcome you today. This raceday has been moved from Brighton and should be the last additional fixture we see here. A very warm welcome to anyone who is visiting the site for the first time.

We extend our sincere thanks to all of today’s sponsors for their generous support of British racing. We hope they, along with all our guests, enjoy a truly memorable day.

Looking ahead, we’re excited about what’s to come this season, including several key fixtures:

• Friday 5th June – an evening of racing followed by a live DJ in the paddock

• Ladies Day on Saturday 13th June – a highlight of the social calendar with live music and dancing through the decades

• Friday 31st July – featuring live music from The Wurzels after racing

• Saturday 15th August – Rum and Reggae Night with live music

• Saturday 12th September – Absolute Country featuring a Morgan Wallen & Luke Coombs tribute

There truly is something for everyone.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all owners and trainers for their continued support. We are incredibly grateful to those who have chosen to run their horses with us today and at recent fixtures. Your commitment is vital to the success of our racedays, and we look forward to welcoming you and your teams throughout the 2026 season.

Temperatures have been increasing this week so a big thank you to the grounds team for all their hard work on the track and to the rest of the team for always putting their best foot forward here at Bath.

Finally, from everyone at Bath Racecourse, we wish you a great raceday. Thank you for joining us, we hope to see you again soon.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT BATH

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing

surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.bath-racecourse.co.uk.

CYDNEY SWEENIE stepped up on her debut effort despite not looking the finished article when third in a Wolverhampton novice 2 weeks ago and, with further progress distinctly possible, she could be the answer now equipped with a first-time hood. Arabica Queen shaped well on her debut and is also worth a look despite being drawn wide. Nasserein, Ennerdale Water and Eabha are a trio of newcomers to note in the betting.

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty todaywe also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualifiedVets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout theirtime at the racecourse. The locations andvehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.
