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

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): A Watson (50 wins from 379 runners, 13%) runs OKIRU TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): S Dixon (3 wins from 15 runners, 20%) runs BACKFIRE LONGEST TRAVELLER: MERITOCRATIC & HAMISH LEEK trained by J Horton, BAGGIE BOY trained by J Jones - both Newmarket, 125 miles. RACE SUMMARY
The most exposed runner SUNSHINE AND ROSES was unlucky not to finish closer over C&D last time and she sets the standard in a winnable novice. Galileo Blue showed much more at Kempton and could be the main danger if improving for the drop back to 7f, while Free Your Spirit may be capable of better, having been well-backed on debut last week. Of the rest, Okiru merits consideration if the market expects him to take another step forward.

RACE SUMMARY BLUEBELLS BOY continues in good heart with placings in his last three starts and looks well handicapped to regain the winning thread at a course where he’s been successful before. Papa Don’t Preach brings consistent form to the table and is feared most in a race that could be run to suit, while Colors of Freedom, a three-time C&D winner, shaped better than the result suggests last week. 1-2-3: 1.BLUEBELLS BOY 2.PAPA DON’T PREACH (IRE) 3.COLORS OF FREEDOM KEY colours

Despite a 4lb rise, this course and distance winner has a good record at this 9f trip and appears to be regaining her best form. Liv My Life went close here last time and can go well again off her last successful mark, while Loving Look is entitled to take a step forward from her recent stable debut.

Despite the 26-month absence, TIME LOOP confirmed the promise of her 2-y-o debut second in a Nottingham maiden when landing a 5-runner novice in good style at Chelmsford last month. With further progress likely, the Lope de Vega filly should prove hard to beat. If there is to be a fly in the ointment, it would most likely be Sweet Princess, who ticks pretty much all the right boxes on paper and it will be very interesting to see what the market makes of her. Rastnet is best of the rest.

The vote goes to STAR OF JUPITER, who has proved consistent in the second half of this year and a deserved success could be in the offing. Damzon will be a danger to all if able to reproduce the form of her latest effort over C&D, while Zooks is third choice ahead of Tuba.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): M Appleby (75 wins from 580 runners, 13%) runs FIFTY NIFTY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D O’Meara (7 wins from 18 runners, 39%) runs ABERAMA GOLD LONGEST TRAVELLER: ABERAMA GOLD trained by D O’Meara, Upper Helmsley, 155 miles. RACE SUMMARY Having looked a shade unlucky on his first run over this trip at Kempton recently, FIFTY NIFTY could be the answer. The 4-y-o has slipped to a handy mark and this represents a good opportunity for him to get his head back in front. Aberama Gold has produced several solid efforts this year and another bold show is anticipated, while Dyrholaey and Papa Cocktail can also go well. 1-2-3: 1.FIFTY NIFTY (IRE) 2.ABERAMA GOLD 3.DYRHOLAEY (FR) KEY colours
