Evening Racing Saturday 14th October 2023

Official Programme £3.50

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse On Saturday, 11th November, we are dedicating the evening in remembrance of those, who gave their lives for our freedom in World War 1 and World War II. We are thrilled to be partnering with the Royal British Legion for this evening and all proﬁts from General Admission tickets will be donated to the charity. There will be a wreath-laying ceremony and a traditional bugle fanfare of The Last Post, alongside the racing, so we hope that you will be able to join us for this very special and poignant event. All donations will be gratefully received and I hope that you will feel able to support this very worthy charity. We are also offering the opportunity for serving members, and veterans, of all armed forces to come as our guest on that day. For more information please contact info@chelmsfordcityracecourse.com. I hope you have an enjoyable evening.

Timeform Rating

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

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

CITY SELECTIONS UNLEASH HELL was an eye catcher when running on strongly over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last and this step up in trip could unlock more improvement. Tom Dascombe’s charge has been dropped 1lb in the ratings for that sixth-placed ﬁnish and he is fancied to reverse the form with Made In China, who runs off the same mark as when fourth in that contest. Dubai Venture is also noted.

First Race

MADE IN CHINA was better than the result on his Wolverhampton nursery debut last week and could prove the answer to this trappy opener. Dubai Venture, who hails from a good

PLAY SMARTER yard, and Free Speech both appeal and may give Charlie Johnston’s charge most to do.

CITY SELECTIONS Lady Bouquet was a facile winner over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and a repeat of that effort would see her go well, but a 9lb hike in the ratings could leave her vulnerable to some better treated rivals. Therefore, the nod goes to STATES, who was a good second over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Amroon heads the remainder. STATES

Off 1lb lower, she makes most appeal, while Zola Power is feared most and can go well if returning to form after a modest display over 5f at Southwell last time.

CITY SELECTIONS RUN BOY RUN found a valuable sales race beyond him when 11th at Doncaster last month, but he performed well over C&D when runner-up in August and looks the one to beat on that evidence.
