Our staff aided by the uniformed security will implement the carefully planned evacuation procedures and undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety.

Horse and Jockey Welfare

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.doncaster-racecourse.co.uk.

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 non-handicaps 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.

This looks wide open with WHATYOUWAITINGFOR given a narrow vote. He compiled a solid record in maiden/novice hurdles for his previous stable and appeals as the type who could do better still now handicapping over larger obstacles with his yard amongst the winners. Cuban Court is unbeaten over fences here and is next best ahead of Two To Tango.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MEATLOAF trained by P Nicholls, Ditcheat, 209 miles. RACE SUMMARY

Irish points scorer SHOTGUN RIDER has shaped well when runner-up in a pair of novice hurdles and can go one better now starting out in handicaps off a lenient-looking mark. The progressive Meatloaf rates a big threat in his bid to get off the mark for the season, while Saracen Beau and Bitsnbuckles also need considering. 1-2-3: 1.SHOTGUN RIDER (IRE) 2.MEATLOAF (FR) 3.SARACEN BEAU (IRE) KEY colours

SEVENTH RACE 4.55 TWO MILES ABOUT HALF A FURLONG (2M 128YDS) FOR FOUR YRS OLD

THE VIRGIN BET “JUNIOR” NATIONAL HUNT FLAT RACE (CLASS 4) (GBB RACE) Total prize fund £7200 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3005, 2nd £1503, 3rd £751, 4th £376. (Penalty Value £3921.12)

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): K Bailey & M Nicholls (11 wins from 37 runners, 30%) runs JETZET TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): K Bailey & M Nicholls (3 wins from 11 runners, 27%) runs JETZET LONGEST TRAVELLER: SAVON trained by M Bowen, Haverfordwest, 295 miles. RACE SUMMARY

JETZET makes a fair amount of appeal on paper for a yard that does well with its newcomers in this sphere, so he earns the vote before market clues. Noble Way showed promise on his recent C&D debut and can put his experience to good use, with Savon another likely type to note in the betting. 1-2-3: 1.JETZET (IRE) 2.NOBLE WAY (FR) 3.SAVON (IRE) KEY colours
