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

Those with experience don’t set a particularly daunting standard and newcomers KATIE’S SONG and Show Me Gold are sufficiently appealing on paper to head the shortlist. It will be interesting to see how they both shape up in the betting but, as things stand, preference is for Katie’s Song, who represents a yard that has enjoyed a highly productive 2025 with youngsters. The pick of those with experience could be Jamie Sommers, who wasn’t beaten far at Beverley on her latest start in the summer.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (107 wins from 1142 runners, 9%) runs YOUARENOTFORGIVEN TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Carroll (9 wins from 49 runners, 18%) runs YOUARENOTFORGIVEN LONGEST TRAVELLERS: THE CORPORATE GUY trained by J Jones, SALARIA trained by C Clover, LOVE YOUR WORK trained by D Holland, All Newmarket, 125 miles. RACE SUMMARY
YOUARENOTFORGIVEN signalled he is ready to strike again when an unlucky-inrunning third here recently so is taken to bag a third C&D success at the chief expense of Token Love who rates a big danger on the back of an excellent C&D second last time out. Both Love Your Work and Salaria bring recent course-winning form and are firmly in the picture too.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (107 wins from 1142 runners, 9%) runs SON OF ASTAR TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Carroll (9 wins from 49 runners, 18%) runs SON OF ASTAR LONGEST TRAVELLERS: HAVANA GILA trained by H Eustace, SAM’S XPRESS trained by J & S Birkett, ALAFDHAL trained by P McEntee, All Newmarket, 125 miles. RACE SUMMARY
Though stall 10 is far from ideal, SAM’S XPRESS is typically quick off the blocks and he’ll take some stopping under a 5lb penalty if able to assume his customary front-running role, just as he did when making it 6-21 on the all-weather with a thoroughly decisive display at Lingfield last week. Amerjeet and Son of Astar both found just one too good last time out and are likely to both be in the mix once more, while He’s An Angel would be a threat if on-song.
