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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this, your bet will not be accepted

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DINGWALL trained by I Jardine, Carrutherstown, 205 miles. RACE SUMMARY

C&D winner DINGWALL arrives on the back of an eye-catching third at Newcastle recently despite being slowly away 4 weeks ago. Clearly thriving on the all-weather, he can resume winning ways with a better start. Seraphic has shown much improved form, winning comfortably at Chelmsford City five days ago, while Francesi is in flying form with three recent all-weather wins. Both are respected under a penalty.

THE DARK BARON looks set to gain compensation after being unlucky when hampered 2f out at this venue last time. He gets the vote over the in-form Fools Rush In, who made rapid progress to win impressively at this C&D 10 days ago and isn’t handicapped out of things despite a 4lb penalty. Latin is also in a rich vein of form, bidding for a hat-trick under a 5lb penalty after scoring over C&D 10 days ago under more positive tactics, while Imola deserves an honourable mention. 1-2-3: 1.THE DARK BARON (IRE) 2.FOOLS RUSH IN (IRE) 3.LATIN (IRE) KEY colours
