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.

REENIE’S DREAM has been shaping well in handicaps, only caught late when attempting to make all at Carlisle last time and she’s taken to open her account at the expense of Yafaarr, who showed improved form for his new stable when third over 1m here last week. Volendam arrives on the back of a career-best fourth in a better race at Haydock and is one to consider down in grade. 1-2-3: 1.REENIE’S DREAM 2.YAFAARR (IRE) 3.VOLENDAM KEY

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT NEWCASTLE 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.

Racecourse management will only take such action if an emergency situation such as a fire or possible bomb threat and at all times decisions will be taken placing public safety as a priority.
In the event that an evacuation is necessary an announcement will be made over the public address system. Unless otherwise instructed, all customers and staff will be evacuated to the race rail clear of all buildings and cars and not allowed to access car parks or move vehicles. This is for public safety and to allow emergency services such as the fire brigade to attend as quickly as possible. In the event of the evacuation being averted or it is clear for the public to return to the public buildings a further public announcement will be made. If no instructions are given owing to failure of the public address the public should assemble as follows: a) Premier Enclosure - centre of the course via the horsegate adjacent to the parade ring. b) Grandstand and Paddock Enclosure - lawn area at the east end of the enclosure. Upon discovery of a fire you should advise one of the Racecourse or Security Staff who will take the appropriate action. At all times the management and racecourse staff will endeavour to keep the public informed. Your co-operation for your safety is appreciated.
