WELCOME

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and a very warm welcome to Ffos Las Racecourse. I would like to begin by wishing you all a very Happy New Year. We’re absolutely delighted to have you with us today for what promises to be a fantastic raceday, packed with thrilling action and competitive racing. First and foremost, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to today’s sponsor, DragonBet. Their generous support not Stephaine Geer only makes today’s racing possible, but also helps us continue Acting General Manager to deliver unforgettable events here at Ffos Las. We are extremely grateful for their ongoing commitment. Looking ahead to what is shaping up to be an exciting year, we’re particularly looking forward to our St David’s Day Raceday, where Welsh heritage meets the thrill of live racing. You can expect fantastic live entertainment from an exciting tribute act (which is still to be announced, so keep your eyes and ears peeled!) alongside top-class racing, delicious food, and refreshing drinks - all served with a warm Welsh welcome! We still have limited availability on our £10 admission ticket offer, so be sure to secure yours quickly. We’re also excited to welcome you to our Family Fun Day on Sunday 12th April. This is a brilliant day out for all ages, featuring children’s activities, funfair rides, local food stalls offering tasty refreshments and snacks, and colourful face painting for children - or mums and dads too! Of course, the day is also packed with thrilling jump racing and a magical atmosphere the whole family will love. And finally (and arguably everyone’s favourite raceday!) - the return of Ffos Las Ladies Day on Friday 21st August. Get ready for the most glamorous event of the year at Ffos Las Racecourse - a spectacular celebration of fashion, racing, and entertainment. It’s a day where elegance meets excitement - whether you’re dressing to impress or simply soaking up the atmosphere. Guests can enjoy both flat and jump racing set against our stunning backdrop, while fashion takes centre stage, giving everyone their moment to shine.

Our popular Best Dressed Awards return, offering fabulous prizes for the most stylish outfits. And yes, gentlemen are absolutely welcome - smart suits are encouraged, and you may even find yourself on the catwalk! Finally, as the year begins, I would like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of my team and our raceday staff, both for last year and for the year ahead. Your commitment throughout the year has been outstanding, and days like today simply would not be possible without you. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you. On behalf of the entire team here at Ffos Las Racecourse, thank you once again for joining us today.

Admission Policy

• Entry to the racecourse is subject to the right of the racecourse executive to refuse to admit and/or to expel, without prior notice, any person whose behaviour is considered to be unruly or unacceptable or is a disqualiﬁed person. • Bringing alcohol into the enclosures other than that purchased at the racecourse is prohibited. Barbecues are not permitted. • No Dogs allowed (except Registered Assistance Dogs) • Racegoers must at all times comply with any conditions, rules and regulations in operation, including the observance of no drinking areas for safety reasons. • Lost and stolen badges will not be replaced.

Evacuation Procedures

If an incident occurs which is beyond our control, it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; ﬁrstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance. Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via emergency evacuation gates, onto the racecourse itself, where you will receive further instructions. It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember; • Take your belongings with you. • Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.

Glasses & Bottles

Broken glasses and bottles are dangerous. In the interests of safety and the comfort of others please do not carry drinks or food on to the steppings of the stand, or the areas adjacent to the parade ring or unsaddling enclosure. Our catering team can transfer your drink into a plastic glass if you wish.

Horse & Jockey Welfare at Ffos Las

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 highspecification 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.ffoslasracecourse.com.

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

BOSSMAN JACK shaped with plenty of promise in a strong-looking maiden on return/hurdles bow at Warwick 7 weeks ago and, sure to progress, Dan Skelton’s charge looks to hold serious claims of opening his account here. That said, the penalised Starzand arrives unbeaten in points/under Rules and he’s the lead threat with further improvement on the cards. Shock Exeter scorer Blowers can fill the frame.

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with MUMBLES who looks weighted to go well on the back of a resurgent Chepstow second (form been well advertised since) and should also be suited by this longer trip. C&D scorer Fresh Speculation heads the list of dangers, although both Colonial Empire and Pachacuti are also weighted to have a say.

TIMEFORM VIEW Bumper winner back in February 2023 and, though yet to add to that following 12 attempts over jumps, it was encouraging he could build on his belated reappearance run when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Feasible to think he can step forward again. TFRHHHHH BHA89

TIMEFORMVIEWBoasts just the one win from 22 starts over hurdles and he’s hardly shaped like a winner upon returning to action in recent months, soon beaten when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 29 days ago. Blinkers go on now in place of usual cheekpieces. TFRHHIII BHA88
