Hereford Racecard - Wednesday 11th February

Page 1


Welcome to Hereford Racecourse for an afternoon of jumps racing,

Thank you to our grounds team, as well as those up and down the country, battling the recent weather conditions to provide us with racing to enjoy today!

All of our 2026 fixtures are now online and available to purchase tickets for but don’t delay as both our Snaffles restaurant and Premier Viewing are selling fast. These include Ladies Day on Saturday 7th March, and with the Snaffles restaurant sold out we have launched a new restaurant package in the parade ring marquee, but we expect this to prove popular so don’t delay! We will be finishing the season in style with our Easter Monday Family Raceday on Monday 6th April, with plenty of Countryside themed activities for children and adults, inflatables, face painting and much more including our seven jump races. The Richard Layton Charity Raceday returns on the evening of Thursday 16th April, the perfect way to round off the season.

Looking to experience the thrill of racehorse ownership? Then look no further than our Hereford Racing Club which includes an annual ARC membership (to 500+ fixtures) plus a share in the Venetia Williams’trained horse Johnny Boy. It really presents fantastic value for money at £320! Further annual member perks include 20% off food and drink at their home course, plus guest passes and racecard vouchers to use throughout the year. Visit our website for more information or to join up right away.

For those that have already enjoyed a Day At The Races package this season I’m sure you will appreciate the value this package gives, with admission, racecard, hot pie and drink included. These packages are available for all remaining fixtures and must be purchased 7 days in advance of the raceday, but numbers are limited so would encourage you to book early to avoid disappointment.

Enjoy your day with us today and we will see you again on Sunday 22nd February, which falls just at the end of half term so remember under 18’s go free to all of our fixtures!

Best wishes,

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.

Successful on the second of 2 starts in Irish points, SEANIECON made a promising first start under Rules when runner-up in a Ludlow maiden 4 weeks ago, in the process shaping like this step up in trip would be firmly in his favour He earns the vote with progress firmly anticipated. Douglas Hyde’s Haydock second was his best effort yet and he can provide chief resistance.

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.

Kingcormac isn’t the most predictable but tends to save his best for Hereford, so can’t be ruled out, whilst last year’s winner Everyonesacritic can be in the mix again sporting a first-time visor
