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.

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

Hunterian finished nearer last than first on debut over this C&D last month but that experience won’t be wasted on him and he shades preference ahead of Wedonttellthetruth for forecast purposes. 1-2-3: 1.SOVEREIGN WEALTH 2.HUNTERIAN (IRE) 3.WEDONTTELLTHETRUTH (IRE) KEY colours

Very little in the way of worthwhile recent form on offer here and BEAUZON is the suggestion. The drop to classified company may well give him a lift as he goes in pursuit of an eighth C&D success. East Tyrone also has a decent chance at the weights and is nominated as the main danger ahead of The Cola Kid. 1-2-3: 1.BEAUZON 2.EAST TYRONE (IRE) 3.THE COLA KID KEY colours

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (109 wins from 1137 runners, 10%) runs QUITE SWEET TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Carroll (9 wins from 47 runners, 19%) runs QUITE SWEET LONGEST TRAVELLERS: APACHE GREEN trained by S Woods, SUPER HIT trained by D Holland, LATIN trained by J Owen, all Newmarket, 125 miles. RACE SUMMARY The form of the Southwell handicap that QUITE SWEET won in October is proving strong and she shaped as if still in good heart at Lingfield next time, despite only finishing seventh. She still has low mileage and is taken to resume winning ways here. First Greyed and Latin both need taking seriously under penalties following their recent victories here, while Super Hit and Yehudi are others to consider. 1-2-3: 1.QUITE SWEET (FR) 2.FIRST GREYED (IRE) 3.LATIN (IRE) KEY colours

NINTH RACE 5.15 ONE MILE ABOUT 142 YARDS [8F ABT 142YDS] FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE ALWAYS GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY AT BETMGM HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (DIV II) Total prize fund £9000 ª Owners Prize Money. 1st £3716, 2nd £1859, 3rd £929, 4th £464, 5th £232. (Penalty Value £4710.60) SS

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (109 wins from 1137 runners, 10%) runs EQUION TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Carroll (9 wins from 47 runners, 19%) runs EQUION WEIGHTWATCHER: FOOLS RUSH IN won off a handicap mark of 68, his rating is now down 8lb to 60. LONGEST TRAVELLER: FOOLS RUSH IN trained by R Carr, Stillington, 134 miles. RACE SUMMARY

Judged on his encouraging fourth over this C&D recently, FOOLS RUSH IN appears to be ready to capitalise on the handicapper’s mercy. He gets the nod ahead of Equion, who returned to form when second here last time and is another 8-y-o who has slipped to a potentially handy mark. Suzuka bagged a C&D handicap on his final start for Roger Varian and this 4lb higher mark looks manageable on debut for new connections.
