Emergency Procedures Worcester Racecourse employs safety stewards.

Facilities For Disabled Racegoers There are ladies and gentleman’s disabled toilets on the ground floor of the Grandstand near the main entrance.

Safety In the interests of public safety all visitors to the Racecourse should follow directions of the Safety Stewards on the Stands and the Race Day Staff throughout the Racecourse. Please do not leave bags or your possessions unattended at any time as this could cause a security alert. It is an offence to be drunk at a sporting event and for this reason people clearly under the influence of alcohol will be asked to leave the racecourse. Racegoers are requested to be particularly aware of their personal safety in all areas where they come into close contact with the horses, such as the parade ring and the horse walks.
First Aid The First Aid Room is located at the top end of the Pre-Parade Ring. General Although everyone is welcome at Worcester Racecourse, we do reserve the right, in extreme circumstances, either to refuse admission or to eject any person from the racecourse. Horse & Jockey Welfare at Worcester 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.
Seating/Viewing Racegoers are requested not to stand in the marked gangways on the Grandstand Steppings as this will compromise safety. Vehicles On The Course Please note that several vehicles containing the doctors, vets and officials will be travelling around the Centre Course area during each race. For this reason and in the interests of safety, visitors in the Centre Course enclosure are requested to remain within the defined enclosure. Wireless Transmitting The use of any wireless transmitting and/or receiving apparatus other than the official circuit is prohibited at all racecourses. Failure to comply could result in your removal from the racecourse as per our terms and conditions of entry.
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.

Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII 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 nonhandicaps 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

RACE SUMMARY
A few with chances but it could pay to side with CAMINO ROCIO who was a five-time chase winner for Jim and Suzi Best and now starts out for Dan Skelton on the back of a breathing operation off a reduced mark. Hat-trick seeking Gata Ban rates the obvious threat, with Axel Bleue another fancied to play a prominent role. 1-2-3: 1.CAMINO ROCIO (IRE) 2.GATA BAN (IRE) 3.AXEL BLEUE KEY colours

Dan Skelton’s new recruit AT THE OCHE looked well ahead of his mark when going in at the first time of asking over fences at Uttoxeter and can make light of a 9lb rise in the weights. Chasing newcomer Little Ledgend comes here in excellent form over hurdles and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of the consistent Pep Talking. 1-2-3: 1.AT THE OCHE (IRE) 2.LITTLE LEDGEND (IRE) 3.PEP TALKING KEY colours

THETYPE ISTITLE was a comfortable winner on Rules debut when making all at Stratford in June and she can build on that effort at the second attempt to double her tally.

DOWN TO BUSINESS made a promising start for new connections last season and, having had a breathing operation since prior to this return, Dan Skelton’s 4-y-o gets the nod to open his account at the expense of Thiscouldbetheone, who showed more like his hurdling debut form when third at Tramore in the spring and has since switched yards. Network Gold rounds off the shortlist on reappearance.

DIAMOND WHITE should have won when second at Newton Abbot last month and looks capable of going one better now switched to handicap company, with the yard in form and the step up in trip looking sure to suit. Mrs Biddle showed plenty of ability when trained in Ireland and the booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye, while Kylenoe Dancer is also respected. 1-2-3: 1.DIAMOND WHITE (IRE) 2.MRS BIDDLE (IRE) 3.KYLENOE DANCER KEY colours
