Welcome to Hereford Racecourse for an afternoon of jump racing, and thank you to our race sponsors BetWright for their support.
If you haven’t made a start on the Christmas shopping yet, then the Injured Jockeys’Fund stand here with us today is the perfect place. With Christmas cards, gifts and much more available to purchase, with all proceeds going to such a worthy cause, do pay them a visit next to the winner’s enclosure.
Another Christmas idea is membership to the 2025-2026 Hereford Racing Club with our horse Johnny Boy who is in training with Venetia Williams. For £320 you can enjoy all the benefits of racehorse ownership, stable visits and shares of prize money, as well as full annual membership to Hereford and all Arena Racing Company racecourses, including Worcester, Chepstow, Uttoxeter, Royal Windsor to name but a few of the sixteen racecourses. It is the perfect gift for any racing enthusiast, so why not speak to one of the racecourse team today or email racingclub@hereford-racecourse.co.uk to find out more or to join!
We next race a week Saturday, Christmas Jumper Raceday on the 20th December, the ideal way to kick off your festive celebrations with friends and family. With prizes to the best Christmas Jumpers (both for adults and children!), mince pie & Santa hat giveaway to the first 500 racegoers, festive giveaways and live music in the Hummingbird bar
If you can’t make that then we have lots to look forward to in the New Year including the return of Ladies Day on Saturday 7th March, Easter Family Fun Day on Monday 6th April and the Richard Layton Charity Evening on Thursday 16th April to round off the season, so there is something for everyone!
We hope you enjoy your day with us today.
Best wishes,
Camilla Esling, General Manager

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT HEREFORD
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.hereford-racecourse.co.uk

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
Selected to win the race
Good chance of being placed. By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
Unlikely to win but not totally without hope
Can be given little or no chance
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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: GEORGEY trained by P Hobbs & J White, Minehead, 111 miles.
Nicky Henderson’s point winner SOOMAROY made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Ascot and can build on it to go one better here. Ben Pauling’s hurdling newcomer Rock Sensation brings plenty of potential and could emerge as the chief danger ahead of Pioneer Pete who also has the form to play a part. Las Canals, Harbour Light and Georgey all need factoring into this intriguing maiden too.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT HEREFORD
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.
