A very warm welcome to Chepstow Racecourse as we celebrate our 100-Year Anniversary.
Today marks a truly special milestone as we celebrate the first of 2 racedays dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Chepstow Racecourse, with today being exactly to the day 100 years since the racecourse first opened its gates in 1926. We are delighted that you are here to share this historic occasion with us and would like to thank you for being part of such a memorable day.
Reaching our centenary is an incredible milestone and we are so proud to celebrate 100 years of racing at Chepstow Racecourse. While today marks our official anniversary, the celebrations continue this Sunday at our Centenary Raceday, with themed entertainment, heritage displays and plenty of family fun. We hope you’ll be able to join us.
Today we look back on fond memories of some incredible moments to have graced the racing surface here in Chepstow over the past 100 years, memories which include several stunning Welsh National winners such as Corbiere, Bonanza Boy (twice), Native River, Dream Alliance and most recently a wonderful home winner for the Welsh with Haiti Couleurs. We’re thrilled to be joined by friends and partners from the industry today to celebrate this wonderful milestone and look back on these amazing moments.
We also take a moment today to honour all of those who are no longer with us that have contributed to the racecourse, and thank those still with us today that have dedicated a lifetime to working with us to create and maintain such a wonderful venue. We’re thrilled to be hosting some employees past and present in the Restaurant today to thank them for their service.
I’d also like to take a moment to thank the industry for its ongoing support of the racecourse. Whether that be owners, trainers, jockeys, stable staff, vets, farriers, medical teams or more, we all come together to form a raceday and play a vital part in ensuring our sport continues to operate at the very best level. Without all of the above, and so many more, our sport would not be what it is so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the support you show us here at Chepstow
We are also extremely grateful to our valued race sponsors, Target PR/Spencer Accounting Services, who are celebrating Colin Spencer’s birthday, for their generous support of today’s fixture.
Thank you for joining us at Chepstow Racecourse. We hope you enjoy a wonderful evening with us and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
There is plenty more exciting racing to come throughout the summer, including our Centenary Raceday this Sunday, before we turn our attention to the eagerly anticipated return of National Hunt racing in the autumn starting with our Dragonbet Welsh Racing Festival.

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least 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.

August 1926
The inaugural 2-day meeting at Piercefield Park was staged on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th August 1926 when a record crowd of 20,000 were in attendance.

March

First 2-day National Hunt meeting was scheduled for 2nd & 3rd March, the first race, the Hughes-Morgan Handicap Steeplechase over 2 miles 90 yards, was won by Phibisher (3/1) trained by Peacock and ridden by Waudby, but the weather was so atrocious that the second day was abandoned.
July 1927
The Welsh Derby and Oaks were held for the first time in July, the Welsh Derby going to Chantrey (11/8 fav) trained by Alec Taylor and ridden by Henri Jelliss; the Welsh Oaks, a disappointing 2 runner affair, went to Book Law (1/10 fav), with Taylor and Jelliss once again successful.

His six winners were Manner (4/6 fav), Brush Past (evens fav), Miss B (7/4 fav), Arcona (4/6 fav), Red Horizon (7/4 fav) and Delicia (5/4 fav).
