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: 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.
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.
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 SLIPS, TRIPS, FALLS or temporary features – they are not The most common cause for a visit to our designed to take a person’s weight. medical tent is sunstroke… Okay, that’s only on hot days. The most common cause, on a ENCLOSURES normal day, is a grazed knee. Many of these We remain very happy that our visitors can travel between enclosures to experience all incidents involve children aged under five years old or adults that have had one drink that Cartmel Racecourse has to offer. too many (see previous point about alcohol). However, these routes use the racing surface and we must always make sure that the Customers are reminded that the natural 6
areas) and do not sit on or lean over barriers near to the horses. The running rails are designed to encourage the horses to stay on the track – but they will not withstand a horse’s weight if they hit them, nor a jockey’s if he is thrown over them – so be prepared to move if a horse is behaving erratically.
horses have fully left the track, before we open the gates to humans. Whilst we are sorry you may need to wait – please understand that any delays are due to us keeping you safe. RECYCLING All of our waste is recycled at the waste depot so please feel free to use any bin.
VEHICLE MOVEMENT Be aware of moving vehicles at all times. If you are driving a vehicle, please pay special attention to pedestrians.
TREES The scenery at the racecourse is enhanced by beautiful trees, including some very old oaks. However, despite clichés such as ‘strong as an oak’ it should be noted that all trees are capable of shedding branches with little warning. While we inspect all the trees on the racecourse annually, we recommend that you do not sit beneath the branches. We especially ask that neither children, nor adults, swing or climb on the branches of trees within the parkland. PARKING Why do I need to pre-book parking now? This is a decision taken by the authorities out-with our control and what they are looking for is a record in advance of everyone who is driving a car on-site. Why is there less car parking on site now? Again, this has been mandated by the external authorities in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles and pedestrians.
BARBECUES Every year the first aid team will treat at 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 bring a barbecue, please ensure that you handle it safely, take care not to scorch the grass and dispose of it in a metal bin – only when it is fully extinguished. No gas barbecues or gas canisters are permitted on the racecourse. Please extinguish all BBQs 20 minutes before racing starts. CHILDREN Whilst its brilliant to be up close to the racing action, we would appreciate you not allowing children to sit on the racetrack perimeter fence. Also – if you see any 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 Abandonment refunds: Full refunds for general admission tickets will be given if racing is abandoned before the first race. A 50% refund will be given if racing is abandoned before the third 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. Applications for refunds should be sent within one month of the fixture.
WATER Children are naturally attracted by the water in the beck that meanders through the Paddock Enclosure. For reasons that should be obvious, we recommend that children are supervised at all times. We also recommend that anyone paddling in the beck wears shoes or boots to protect their feet. Animals use the beck upstream (and downstream), so please do not use the beck for washing up your picnic utensils, for drinking or for cleaning your hands. HORSES Horses are big and run very fast; hopefully yours will run fastest of all. Please pay attention when in close proximity to the horses: stay on the public side of any barriers (close to the track or horse walk 7

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
Race Description This is a two miles and one furlong handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. 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 (43 wins from 278 runners, 15%) runs ALVESTA and MASEKELA Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): M Hammond (2 wins from 4 runners, 50%) runs AMBASSADOR Fancy That: J Moffatt won this race in 2019 and 2023. The stable runs ALVESTA and MASEKELA today. Longest Traveller: SADIES DIAMOND trained by S Mullins, Amesbury, 265 miles.

Race Description Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks. Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the official start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October. This particular two miles and one furlong novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than one hurdle race.

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
Race Description This is a three mile and one furlong handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 100 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 95. Leading course trainer (20-25): J Moffatt (43 wins from 278 runners, 15%) runs DUSKY DAYS, MASTERMINDING and SECRET SECRET Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): M Bowen (3 wins from 14 runners, 21%) runs ANOTHER PEARL Weightwatcher: ROBERT D’ORES won off a handicap mark of 90, his rating is now down 5lb to 85.

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
Race Description This is a two miles and one furlongs handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 125. 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 Leading course trainer (20-25): J Moffatt (43 wins from 278 runners, 15%) runs GOT GREY and MY CHIQUITA Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): D Skelton (8 wins from 27 runners, 30%) runs EDELAK Fancy That: J Moffatt won this race in 2016, 2019 and 2021.

Race Description This two miles and one furlong handicap steeple chase has been designed for four-year-olds and upwards which are rated from 0 to 120. In most National Hunt handicaps, there is a minimum weight of 10st 2lb so any horse whose official rating would allocate them less than that still has to shoulder that burden.

This year is the 20th anniversary of the above, which is my sons race. When I sponsored it back in 2006, a couple of months after my sons death, I never imagined 20 years later it would continue. I thank Cartmel management for continuing this race which means so much to me. I was fortunate enough to win it in 2008 with my own horse Desert Tommy by two lengths when I trained him as well. My son Cengiz loved Cartmel and we had several winners over the years there. It’s been a privilege for me to continue my association with Cartmel.

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
Race Description This is a two miles and five furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 100 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 95.

TIMEFORM VIEW Remains with only the one career success and he looks set for another struggle operating from out of the weights. TFR BHA64
A mere 2lb rise for last month’s C&D success arguably underestimates AILL DUBH’s superiority on the day and with his stable continuing to go well, he can follow up. A recent breathing operation may have helped Halfway House Lad and he’s feared in a refitted tongue strap. Judicial Review is seeking a hat-trick in this race and completes the shortlist.
