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

FLOWSTATE has been a model of consistency and took his form to a new level when winning at Newcastle recently, travelling strongly throughout before asserting late. Despite a 3lb rise, he looks capable of following up. Masqool is a three-time course winner who wasn’t seen to best effect last time and should appreciate the drop back to 7f. Bass Player ran well here recently despite being keen. 1-2-3: 1.FLOWSTATE (IRE) 2.MASQOOL (IRE) 3.BASS PLAYER (IRE) KEY colours

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KRISSY trained by J Goldie, Glasgow, 285 miles. RACE SUMMARY

It could be a 1-2 for the Tony Carroll yard, with THREE ON THURSDAY taken to get the better of last year’s winner Moon Over The Sea. The way the selection went about her business at Lingfield suggested that moving back up to this trip would, if anything, be in her favour and she remains on a plausible mark following a 4lb rise. Moon Over The Sea is 2lb lower than when registering the latest of his five wins here in March, while the hat-trick seeking Mr Zippi and Krissy are also key players.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FOOLS RUSH IN trained by R Carr, Stillington, 134 miles. RACE SUMMARY

Several in with a squeak but THE DARK BARON has taken his form up a notch in recent months so Kathy Turner’s 3-y-o can make it 3 wins from his last 6 starts at the expense of Charlatan, who was narrowly denied at Lingfield 10 days ago. R P McMurphy won over this C&D earlier in the month and he can fight out minor honours with Danehill Star.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ALNAYEF trained by J Goldie, Glasgow, 285 miles. RACE SUMMARY

This is wide open but BLACK SMOKE should strip fitter for his recent Lingfield eighth after a lay-off and can capitalise on a 2lb lower mark here to bag a fourth C&D victory. Fellow C&D winner Daaris could emerge as the chief threat on the back of a good Chelmsford City third with Fleur De Mer also weighted to go well if back on her A-game. Grand Duchess Olga and Zooks need factoring in too.

A case can be made for a few of these but MOOSTAR signalled she is ready to strike for her current yard when a very good recent Chelmsford City runner-up so edges the vote from in-form Clover Time who could have to settle for second placing once more.
