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.

Runswick Days won The Santander In Memory of Robert Forster Handicap Steeple Chase at Sedgefield on Tuesday 11th November 2014.

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.

THE JAYNE AND GREG COMPLETE ALL THE RACECOURSES HANDICAP CHASE

Jayne Tyler and Greg Duke will be completing their tour of the 59 British racecourses at Sedgefield and have marked the occasion by sponsoring a race.

Greg is a producer for Sky Sports Racing but Jayne had never been racing before December 2011, where a trip to a cold and frosty Wetherby got her hooked!

In just over 14 years, in all kinds of weather, the pair have travelled the length and breadth of the country indulging in their passion and have visited many tracks more than once.

‘I’ve always loved horses and when Greg suggested we go racing for the first time I was intrigued,”said Jayne.

‘But from the moment I entered my first course I was blown away by the sights, sounds and excitement of being at the races. My interest grew and I started to pick up on racing terminology, building my knowledge of horses, jockeys, trainers and betting!

‘As each course was ticked off, I realised that I prefered jump racing and we started to think about where we could finish our journey. Living on the south coast in Brighton, every trip needs a lot of planning, and we concluded that Sedgefield would be the perfect finale

‘As a museum curator I thought it would be a unique experience to stay in one of the workers’cottages inside Beamish Museum as part of our trip - and to sponsor a race was the cherry on the top of what is sure to be a memorable day at the course.’

The most solid option is DIXIE COWBOY, who has largely acquitted himself well since scoring on his C&D chase debut and he remains on a plausible mark. Beep Beep Becky’s form over hurdles leaves much to be desired but the fact that she was runner-up on her sole start between the flags augurs well ahead of this switch to the larger obstacles She is second choice ahead of the down-in-the-weights Clean Getaway.

Laddie Cooper Mia finished runner-up behind the selection latest and ought to be thereabouts again. KnackerTrapper and Byron Hill also make each-way appeal

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT SEDGEFIELD RACECOURSE

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.

THE GEM STATE makes obvious appeal having joined a top stable after finishing second on his sole outing in Irish points, so he’s taken to add to his trainer’s excellent record at this track by making a winning start under Rules. Mords Lavie Spigao is another likely type on paper and one to watch closely in the betting, while recent C&D winner Connells Cross merits consideration under a penalty, too.
