Horse & Jockey Welfare at Wolverhampton

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. wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse is given a star rating, these are deﬁned below: HHHHH Selected to win the race HHHHI Good chance of being placed HHHII By no means without a chance

HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope IIIII 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 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.

COME TO PASS finished a close third over C&D last month, despite enduring a rough trip, and he looks ready to strike on that evidence. Irish-raider Muhalhel could be the one to follow him home, while Kemerton is of interest back down in trip and Angel of Antrim is not without hope on his debut for Ed Dunlop.

RACE SUMMARY

It’s likely that INFLUENCE and Bint Alfella will both prove to be most effective at 6f+ but they are nevertheless the candidates with the most compelling claims in this maiden, and by some way. Influence is marginally preferred having chased home a potentially useful colt over this C&D on Boxing Day. Al Muqdad has been absent since making his debut 17 months ago but he is interesting nonetheless, while Helga Brandt can be expected to leave her low-key introduction well behind in time. 1-2-3: 1.INFLUENCE (IRE) 2.BINT ALFELLA (IRE) 3.AL MUQDAD KEY colours

Last-time-out winners FOOTSY and Gerrots should both be in the thick of things once again. The latter’s breakthrough success was gained over 16.6f but he was runner-up over C&D in October and dropping back to this trip shouldn’t be an issue. However, marginal preference is for Robert Stephens’ charge, who has fewer miles on the clock and the booking of Rossa Ryan adds to his appeal. Black Smoke was a creditable third to the selection here and is third choice ahead of Vienna Girl.

BETTING DISPUTES & QUERIES

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT WOLVERHAMPTON 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.wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk.
