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

RECORD TIMES
Roy Grimwood
9th June 1942 - 5th July 2025
Roy loved a day at the races It didn’t matter if it was Brighton in the South or Newcastle in the North, or Yarmouth in the East or Chepstow in the West.
There were trips to Royal Ascot, Newmarket, York and the Curragh but his favourite was always a night under the lights at Dunstall Park.
On his final visit he somehow managed to find a 28/1 John & Thady Gosden-trained winner. It is fair to say that he went out in style.
Sadly, he lost his battle with COPD last year so some of his family are here today to celebrate his life on the first anniversary of his passing. He would have been humbled, but excited to have a race named in his memory.
Thanks to Jacqui, Marie and Fergus for helping to make this a special day.
