HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT SOUTHWELL

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.southwell-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.

Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. Can be given little or no chance.

OF F ICI A L BH A R AT I NG S E X PL A I N E D 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 non-handicaps 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.

RACE SUMMARY MOVE WITH THE BEAT is officially 6lb “well-in” following his last-fence departure at Taunton where he probably would’ve won had he safely negotiated the final obstacle. He will take some stopping granted a clear round here, though the fact that he refused to race on penultimate start at Hereford means that there is a caveat.

TIMEFORMVIEWMultiple point winner who shaped better than result when ﬁfth in 3m Exeter handicap chase on yard debut in November.

SO PROUD looked a good prospect when making a winning bumper debut for Don Cantillon at Haydock in May and can go in at the first time of asking over hurdles for new connections who went to £100,000 to buy this son of Shirocco. Both Liam Mera Kai and The Egyptian Ginge have the form to play a big part, while Is This For Real and Harbour Island also need factoring into this intriguing maiden.
