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.

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.

WE’RE BACK!

2026 marks the ninth year of our Annual Race Evening at the fabulous Doncaster Racecourse, and I’m thrilled to welcome you all.

Every year, this event reminds us just how powerful our community can be when we come together. We know that one in two people will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. But by standing together, we can influence the future of cancer care and help people who are going through treatment right now.

The support in this room helps fund our vital work, including services that make a real difference to patients and their families. Thanks to supporters like you, in 2024-25 we:

• Recorded more than 24,500 interactions where we provided support to people impacted by cancer.

• Took our services directly into local communities, with our Big Purple Bus team delivering almost 1,000 one-to-one support sessions.

• Expanded our free transport service, with our volunteer drivers covering more than 50,000 miles to help 447 clients get to and from their appointments.

None of this would have been possible without the generosity of our supporters Your continued backing allows us to invest in the future of cancer care while standing beside those who need us most today.

I hope you enjoy the fantastic night ahead!

With my sincere thanks,

Emma Clarke CEO Weston Park Cancer Charity

Rumba Numba has been off for a while but her 3-y-o form reads really well and she has to be respected, with Sailthisshipalone also considered after a pair of solid efforts at Pontefract.

TIMEFORMVIEWFar more prominent in the betting than previously and duly improved again after 3 months off when second of 9 on handicap debut over C&D in April. Not so good at Newbury since but worth another chance returned to this venue. TFRHHHHH BHA66
