WELCOME

May I welcome you to our Ladies Day fixture and thank you for joining us today

I do hope that if you are new to a Cartmel race day, you enjoy all that the day has to offer and consider returning in the future

We are running the annual female-only race today, which is an unusual race in that it is a pro-am contest, we are proud to offer this opportunity for female riders I am also looking forward to the Crystal Handicap Hurdle Cup. I must thank our sponsors and partners – it is through their support and commitment that we can continue to invest in our race programme. Our ambition is to continue to offer a varied race programme, to include a broad selection of class of race

Our thanks go to Hadwins

Charnley’s

This is the second year of the Summer Jumps Championship and the industry are grateful to The Sun for their support for the competition

Our charity today are BEEP Doctors –

‘a crew of highly skilled Doctors volunteering their time to help those in need’ I would urge you visit their stand to learn more about their services

All that remains, is to wish you Good Luck!

HOW TO PLACE A BET

PLACE YOUR BETS....

Betting is quite straightforward and can be fun - for as little as £2 There is no fool proof way of picking a winner; the odds and the racecard can give you a good guide but you can also have as much luck picking your horse by the name or colour of the silks.

BET IN TWO WAYS -

1. Betting with the tote - a quick, easy and friendly service You’ll find tote betting points all around the racecourse and it will give you a better choice of bets with the lower minimum stake of £2. Look at the counters for the tote how to bet guides

HOW TO READ

2. Bookies - these are all in front of the Grandstand and take only two bets TO WIN and EACH-WAY The bookies offer ‘odds’ on all the horses and you are best to shop around for the best odds. These are given in fractions, such as 8/1.

Cartmel Racecourse

ENJOY THE RACES IN SAFETY

A day at Cartmel Racecourse should be great fun for everyone; nobody wants an injury or an incident to spoil their day. So, when push comes to shove, we need to make sure that there isn’t any pushing or shoving

The racecourse team prepares carefully for each event and we take every precaution to ensure that the site is as safe as is practical. However, we also need some help from you – to take responsibility for your own safety and to respect the safety and comfort of those around you. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a brief list of precautions that we’d like all visitors to consider:

ALCOHOL & SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Fortunately very few accidents occur at Cartmel Racecourse, but those that do are most likely to be relatively minor incidents involving someone who has had too much to drink. Quite simply: you’ll be safer if you drink less alcohol

On the rare occasion that we receive a customer complaint, it’s quite likely to be linked to the behaviour of someone who’s had one too many So please drink responsibly and encourage your friends to stay within their limits. Any incident involving substance abuse will be dealt with by Cumbria Police

SLIPS, TRIPS, FALLS

parkland, that forms the racecourse, includes many uneven surfaces which may become slippery in wet conditions. Please take care of yourselves and mind where you walk. Don’t try to run faster than your legs can go, even if you think your bookmaker might be packing away for the day.

The most common cause for a visit to our medical tent is sunstroke… Okay, that’s only on hot days. The most common cause, on a normal day, is a grazed knee Many of these incidents involve children aged under five years old or adults that have had one drink too many (see previous point about alcohol). Customers are reminded that the natural

FENCES, WALLS & BARRIERS

The fences, walls and temporary barriers located on the racecourse are intended to segregate people into specific areas This may include segregating people from horses or people from sensitive or hazardous equipment Please do not attempt to climb over, sit on or stand on any barriers – regardless of whether they appear to be permanent or temporary features – they are not designed to take a person’s weight.

ENCLOSURES

We remain very happy that our visitors can travel between enclosures to experience all that Cartmel Racecourse has to offer. However, these routes use the racing surface and we must always make sure that the

horses have fully left thetrack, before we openthe gates to humans. Whilst we are sorry you may need to wait– please understandthat any delays are due to us keeping you safe.

RECYCLING

All of our wasteis recycledat the waste depot sopleasefeel free to use any bin.

TREES

The sceneryatthe racecourseis enhanced by beautifultrees, includingsome very old oaks However, despite clichés such as ‘strong asan oak’ it shouldbenotedthat all treesare capable ofshedding branches with little warning. While we inspect all thetrees on the racecourse annually, we recommend that you do not sit beneaththe branches. We especially ask that neither children, nor adults, swing or climb on the branchesof trees within the parkland.

PARKING

areas) and do not sit onorlean over barriers near to the horses. The running rails are designed to encourage the horses to stayon thetrack– butthey will not withstanda horse’s weight if they hitthem, nor a jockey’s if he isthrown overthem – sobe prepared to move if a horseis behavingerratically.

VEHICLE MOVEMENT

Be aware of moving vehicles at alltimes. If you are driving a vehicle, please pay special attention to pedestrians.

BARBECUES

Every year the firstaid team will treatat least one person with burnt fingers and we will be required to extinguish at least one fire in a wheelie bin. If you intend to bringa barbecue, pleaseensurethat you handle it safely, take care not to scorch the grass and dispose of it in a metal bin– only when itis fully extinguished.

Why do I need to pre-book parking now? Thisisa decision taken by the authorities out-with our control and whatthey are looking forisa record in advance of everyone who is driving a car on-site. Whyis there less car parking on site now? Again, this has been mandated by the external authoritiesin order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles and pedestrians.

WATER

Childrenare naturally attracted by the water in the beck that meandersthrough the Paddock Enclosure For reasonsthat should be obvious, we recommend that childrenare supervisedat all times. We also recommend that anyonepaddlinginthe beck wears shoes or boots to protecttheir feet. Animalsuse the beck upstream (and downstream), so please donot use the beck for washing up your picnic utensils, for drinking or for cleaning yourhands.

HORSES

No gas barbecues or gas canisters are permitted on the racecourse. Please extinguishall BBQs 20 minutes before racingstarts.

CHILDREN

Whilst its brilliant to be up close to the racing action, wewould appreciate you not allowing children to sit on the racetrack perimeter fence. Also – if you seeany damage to racecourse fences, temporary structures or furniture we would appreciate you reporting this damage as soon as possible to a member of our stewarding team.

ABANDONMENT

Horses are big andrun very fast; hopefully yours willrun fastest of all. Please pay attentionwhen in close proximity to the horses: stay on the publicside of any barriers (close to thetrack or horse walk

Abandonmentrefunds: Full refundsfor general admission tickets will be given if racing is abandoned before the first race.A 50% refund will begiven if racingis abandoned before thethird or featured race. No cash refunds will be given on the day, but will be administered by post after the meeting Please retain your tickets as they will be required for your refund application Applicationsfor refunds should be sent within one month of the fixture.

CARTMEL JOCKEYS’ CHALLENGE

crowd pleaser despite the lofty odds, being owned by Tyson Fury and manager Spencer Brown. Leah has moved up to second place, and with the backing of the powerful Jimmy Moffatt yard may be a challenger for the top spot come August

Oran McGill celebrated his first Cartmel victory in the Womens Community Matters Handicap A regular winner in Ireland, he was unlucky with a number of placed horses over the weekend before landing the spoils in the concluding event on the well backed Fort Randall.

Sean Bowen cemented his lead at the top of the Jockeys Challenge after our Sunday meeting Although this was a rare day when Sean didn’t have a winner, a number of places kept the leaderboard ticking over and maintain a healthy lead

Chasing Sean down in second place is Leah Noreci After Charlotte Jones’ retirement in May, Leah has grasped the opportunity of more rides with 2 winners over the weekend

The victory on Big Gypsy King in the opening Molson Coors Mares Hurdle was a real

Harry Reed was in fine form winning one of the two valuable Oakmere Homes sponsored races on Breizh River, demonstrating strength to win after a sustained duel up the home straight to please favourite backers Harrys week epitomised the life of a Jockey After mainly riding in the North, he went to Newton Abbot in Devon for just 1 ride in the days before Cartmel

CARTMEL TRAINERS’ CHALLENGE

Jimmy Moffatt is still our clear leader in the Trainers Challenge Big Gypsy Kings win in the Molson Coors Mares Hurdle was followed a further place to stretch the gap to Mickey Bowen in second to 10 points. With 4 days racing left, Jimmy is well on his way to an unprecedented 8th title.

The Training performance of the day was Tristan Davidson The Cumbrian handler always does well at Cartmel, and landed a double to delight his supporters The first victory in the Campbell and Rowley Handicap was a success for Divilabother in a driving finish ridden by Robbie Dunne This was quickly followed by Breizh Rivers’ win in the Oakmere Homes Handicap Chase, this time ridden by Harry Reed Tristan runs at a 25% strike rate with his Cartmel entries, and are always to be respected.

Another mover in the table was Noel Kelly, who has gone up to 3rd place Noel had a number of near misses over the 2 day meeting, but got a well deserved victory in the Womens Community Matters Handicap with Fort Randall to joyous scenes in the winners enclosure

Lambourn handler Harry Derham had only his second runner at Cartmel, but it was a successful one with Filibustering winning the Oakmere Homes Handicap Hurdle in comfortable fashion The winner could be called some way from home to land the valuable prize.

RaceDescription This is a two mile and one furlong handicap hurdle race for novice four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 95. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

Race Description This is a two mile and six furlongs handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 130. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 7lb.

HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 5)

for four yrs old and upwards

Total prize fund £6300

Owners Prize Money. 1st £2475, 2nd £1237, 3rd £619, 4th £309, 5th £154, 6th £77, 7th £38, 8th £20. (Penalty Value £3240.72)

Race Description This three miles one and a half furlongs handicap steeple chase has been designed for four-year-olds and upwards which are rated from 0 to 100. In most National Hunt handicaps, there is a minimum weight of 10st so any horse whose official rating would allocate them less than that still has to shoulder that burden. The horses that fall into this category are said to be racing from ‘out of the handicap’ – usually a distinct disadvantage.

In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

Leading course trainer (20-25): J Moffatt (44 wins from 272 runners, 16%) runs GOT GREY

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): S England (1 win from 6 runners, 17%) runs PASSENGERONTHESHIP

Weightwatcher: MOODOFTHEMOMENT won off a handicap mark of 107, his rating is now down 5lb to 102.
