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.

THIS YEAR’S BROCKLESBY STAKES IS RENAMED THE WILLIAM HILL BILL TURNER MEMORIAL EBF BROCKLESBY STAKES IN HONOUR OF BILL TURNER, WHO PASSED AWAY IN 2025 AGED 78.

A leading trainer of precocious two-year-olds, Turner remains the race’s most successful trainer with six wins between 1996 and 2013 and enjoyed a long and distinguished career spanning over 45 years

The Brocklesby has produced smart juveniles including Persian Force, The Last Lion and Chipotle.

Run over 5-furlongs, this £40,000 contest opens Doncaster’s Lincoln Day card and is the first 2-year-old race of the UK turf flat season

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): R Hannon (29 wins from 207 runners, 14%) runs A BEAR AFFAIR AND THE KALONJI MAN TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G & J Moore (5 wins from 41 runners, 12%) runs SEATHEGULLS FANCY THAT: R Hannon won this race in 2022 and 2025. The stable runs A BEAR AFFAIR and THE KALONJI MAN today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: NEVERNOTREMEMBERU trained by K Turner, Sherborne, 219 miles.

The early betting suggests BLIXEN FORCE looks capable of making a big impact on debut and he’s certainly bred for the job with his sire winning this in 2022 and his dam a sister to 2019 winner Show Me Show Me. Richard Hannon has won this twice in the last 4 years and A Bear Affair looks the pick of his 2 runners, while Dance A Jig is another likely type

The 6-y-o has a class edge on these, goes well fresh and is versatile ground-wise, so he has much in his favour.

LINC Th

The original Lincolnshire Handicap was ran at Lincoln Racecourse in 1849 over 2m in August.

The race was not transferred to Doncaster until 1965, following the closure of Lincoln. The inaugural running of the William Hill Lincoln Handicap, as it is now known, took place over 1m on Town Moor in 1965 and was won by Old Tom, trained by Yorkshireman Peter Easterby. There was no running of this prestigious handicap in 2020 due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

Since the race has taken place at Doncaster, there has never been a dual winner of the contest.

Top trainer William Haggas is the most successful trainer in the history of the race in the modern era, winning it five times with High Low (1992), Very Wise (2007), Penitent (2010), Addeybb (2018), and most recently with Godwinson (2025). Since 2011, there has onl been one winning favourite in the

Cieren Fall 2025 winner (2018), t (20 ), ybb (20 most recently with Since there only one favourite the Fallon, en

shape of Auxerre (2019; 5/2f). 10 of the 13 runnings to have taken place since 2011 have all been won by horses at doublefigure odds. This race usually fits the profile of a young, unexposed type who is on the improve with 5 of the previous 10 renewals won by 4yo’s. Last year’s renewal was won by Godwinson (15/2), owned by Jon and Julia Aisbitt, trained by William Haggas, and ridden by Cieren Fallon.

This year’s William Hill Lincoln Handicap, at Doncaster Racecourse, has attracted 65 entries. Leading trainers, such as Karl Burke and William Haggas, are all represented, ensuring another typically high-quality and fiercely competitive handicap.

As always, the Lincoln promises to be a key early-season marker, with improving types and wellhandicapped contenders likely to dominate the finish in one of Yorkshire’s most prestigious and eagerly anticipated races.

WEIGHTWATCHER: LA TRINIDAD won off a handicap mark of 96, his rating is now down 6lb to 90. LONGEST TRAVELLER: ORANDI trained by A J Martin, Ireland.

LA BOTTE gets the vote on the back of his very promising reappearance in the trial for this at Wolverhampton. Eternal Force is another 4-y-o who likely has his best days ahead of him and is second choice for a top stable with a good Lincoln record. Valvano has lots of talent and will be danger if reacting well to a first-time blinkers and tongue tie combination. Shout and last year’s fifth Galeron complete the shortlist

Valenday showed plenty himself in 2 starts as a 2-y-o and is feared along with William Haggas newcomer Super Crown. High Storm can also figure with a fitness edge over most in his favour
